Convert to multi-file components
The MFC Converter automates the conversion from legacy, class-based Livewire components to modern, multi-file components available in Livewire 4. Using the MFC Converter to automatically convert your components has an estimated time savings of 1 hour.
While legacy, class-based Livewire components are still compatible in Livewire 4, they are no longer the convention. Livewire 4 uses single-file components (SFC) or multi-file components (MFC).
Shift provides the MFC Converter to modernize your legacy, class-based Livewire components. If you wish to adopt SFC, you may run Livewire's livewire:convert command to convert from MFC to SFC.
Requirements
- A Laravel application running Livewire 4 or higher.
Automated Conversions
The MFC Converter automates the following conversions:
- Creating new multi-file component folder structures.
- Migrating component class and view files.
- Converting to anonymous class components.
- Renaming class references to component names.
- Detecting remaining class-based Livewire components.
Manual Conversions
The MFC Converter attempts to read your Livewire configuration to determine component paths and filenames. If you have a complex configuration or unconventional project structure, Shift may fallback to Livewire defaults. If so, you may move the converted components to your own custom location.
