Components Overview

Redot Dashboard ships a library of Blade components for building admin and website screens — form inputs, layout primitives, display widgets, and third-party integrations. This page covers how to use them and the conventions every component shares; each component has its own page for the details.

Using a component

Components are plain Blade tags. Pass props as attributes, and prefix any value that is a PHP expression with :.

<x-input name="title" :title="__('Title')" :value="old('title', $post?->title)" validation="required" />

• Plain attributes pass a literal string: type="email".
• : attributes evaluate PHP: :value="$post->title", :title="__('Name')".
• Any extra HTML attribute you add (id, class, placeholder, disabled, readonly, wire:model, …) is forwarded to the underlying element, so you can treat a component like the input it wraps.

Shared form-field conventions

Most form inputs (<x-input>, <x-select>, <x-textarea>, <x-date-picker>, and friends) accept the same core attributes, so once you learn one you know them all:

• name — the field name submitted with the form.
• title — label text shown above the field (a localized string).
• value — the initial value; pair with old() to preserve input on validation errors.
• hint — small helper text shown beneath the field.
• validation — client-side validation rules (e.g. required, required|email). If the rules contain required, the label shows a required marker. See RedotValidator.

Components that wrap a JavaScript widget (date pickers, selects, the rich editor, uploader, …) light up automatically through the asset & init system — you don't wire up any JS yourself.
