What's New

✨ Added

  • Filament v5 Support: Full compatibility with Filament v5 (Livewire v4) alongside v4
  • Comprehensive Tests: Unit tests for all component types (TextInput, Textarea, RichEditor)
  • Better Spacing: Proper spacing for RichEditor character counter

🐛 Fixed

RichEditor Character Counting - Complete refactor:

  • Fixed JavaScript initialization errors
  • Added all required Filament v4/v5 parameters with safe defaults
  • Switched to direct DOM text content reading for accuracy
  • Implemented Livewire.hook('commit') for reactive updates
  • Character counter now updates in real-time while typing

HasCharacterLimit Trait:

  • Automatically enforces HTML maxlength attribute
  • Prevents paste overflow beyond character limit
  • Ensures consistency between visual counter and enforcement

🔧 Technical Details

  • RichEditor uses `$el.querySelector()` for DOM-based character counting
  • Added `.fi-fo-rich-editor-wrapper` CSS class for proper spacing
  • Textarea maxLength enforcement with Alpine.js watcher
  • Views compatible with both Filament 4 and 5

Testing

Tested and working in:

  • ✅ Filament v4 (Livewire v3)
  • ✅ Filament v5 (Livewire v4)

All components (TextInput, Textarea, RichEditor) working correctly in both versions.
