Reload or refresh Livewire Powergrid on submit of form component

Question

I am submitting one form via Livewire submit and then I need to refresh a table(Powergrid Livewire).

in blade view, below is component for dataTable.

            <div class="table-responsive">
                <livewire:broker.brokers-api-data-table />
            </div>

Now when I submit a form, it goes to another component, AddBrokerModal and below is submit action when submit is clicked,

    public function submit()
    {
        $this->validate();
        DB::transaction(function () {
            $data = [
                'user_id' => auth()->user()->id,
                'brokerlist_id' => $this->brokerlist_id,
            ];

        BrokerApi::create($data);

        // Emit a successful event with a message
        $this->dispatch('success', __('New broker created'))->to(BrokersApiDataTable::class);
    
        $this->reset();
        });

    }

Now, I want to refresh brokers-api-data-table component when this form is submitted and successful dispatch occurs.

How to achieve that?

Answer 1

Since you are dispatching a success event to your grid, you will have a public method to manage that event:

....
use Livewire\Attributes\On;
....

final class UserTable extends PowerGridComponent
{
    #[On('success')]
    public function manageSuccess()
    {
        /* do something*/
    }
.....

when the method manageSuccess is called a refresh of the component is executed.

Otherwise if you don't need to "do something" other, you can simply send a pg:eventRefresh-default event instead of success (the -default ending is the default-table-name, change it as needed):

// AddBrokerModal
public function submit()
{
   .....

   BrokerApi::create($data);

   $this->dispatch('pg:eventRefresh-default')->to(BrokersApiDataTable::class);
    
   $this->reset();
}

A third option is to send a more generic $refresh event:

// AddBrokerModal::submit()

$this->dispatch('$refresh')->to(BrokersApiDataTable::class);

In this case I think you must add $refresh to the listeners:

// BrokersApiDataTable
final class UserTable extends PowerGridComponent
{
    protected $listeners = [
      '$refresh'
    ];

.....
