It’s very interesting, possibly the only quality solution for Livewire enthusiasts, of which I am one, having used Livewire in several projects.

What’s new:

• calendar component that can be embedded on a page.
• date or date range picker component.
• chart component (line and area).
• Tailwind CSS v4.

Interestingly, the calendar, date picker, and chart components are built entirely from scratch without dependencies on other packages.

Recently, a nice color theme generator was also introduced, which can be easily integrated into a project via CSS variables.

In the frontend world, there are a lot of great components, but for Blade, there aren’t that many. Flux fills this gap and does it quite well.

It’s somewhat similar to Bootstrap, which I used a lot in the past, but under the hood, it uses Tailwind, with many of its classes hidden behind Flux.

A distinctive feature of Flux is that the components adapt to each other. That is, when you place components next to each other, they “see” each other and adjust the padding and margins to make everything look nice, so you don’t have to write a bunch of divs with padding and margins in HTML to space things out.

As a result, the code with Flux looks quite nice—minimalistic and understandable. Check out the examples on the website.

However, minimalism doesn’t get in the way of flexibly customizing components when needed. Although I can’t confirm this in practice yet, as I don’t have the experience yet.

By the way, I haven’t used Flux in real projects yet, so it’s too early to draw conclusions. I’ll definitely use it at the first opportunity.

But the project looks great, and without hesitation, I decided to support Caleb (the developer) by paying for the Pro version.

Yes, Flux is paid, but there is a free version with all the main components. However, I recommend not skimping on products that simplify, speed up work, or help you save even more money or time.

By the way, the new Laravel starter kits, which are convenient for starting new projects, come with Livewire and Flux, so I think this project will live on and continue to develop actively.
