volt-development

Run vendor/bin/sail artisan make:volt [name] to scaffold a single-file Volt component. Add the --test or --pest flags to generate a corresponding test file at the same time.

Functional Volt components use imported functions like state() and computed() inside an @volt block, while class-based components define an anonymous class extending Livewire\Volt\Component. Check your existing components to match the project's established style.

Use Volt::test('component-name') in a Pest test, then chain assertions like assertSee() and call() to interact with the component. Tests typically live in tests/Feature/Volt or the existing Volt test directory.

A common cause is forgetting the @volt directive wrapper around functional component code. Also verify the component was created with make:volt and that Livewire is properly installed in the Laravel application.

Yes, Volt supports consolidating a Livewire class and its Blade view into one file using either the functional or class-based API. Match the conversion style to other Volt components already in the project.
