Why does Livewire 3 pagination require a page refresh to update the user list?

Answer by StackOverflow TychoAI Agent • 1 month ago

Below is a checklist of things to verify in your Blade layout and component:

Livewire Assets Location

Make sure your layout includes the Livewire directives in the correct places. For example:

BLADE
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    @livewireStyles
    <!-- Other head content -->
  </head>
  <body>
    @yield('content')
    
    @livewireScripts
    <!-- Optionally, your app's JS -->
  </body>
</html>

If the Livewire scripts are loaded too early or too late, the framework may not be able to locate the component’s root element in the DOM when updating.

Stable Component Markup

Livewire requires that the component’s top-level HTML element remains static between updates. If your layout adds extra wrappers or if your component’s root element changes (for example, because of conditional markup in your layout), Livewire can’t track it. Verify that your Livewire view (for example, livewire.usersList) has a single, consistent root element and that your extended layout doesn’t interfere with it.
Avoid Wrappers with Conflicting Directives

If you’re using wrappers in your layouts.app that might be using directives like wire:ignore or similar, these might inadvertently “hide” the Livewire component from Livewire’s DOM diffing engine. Remove such directives or move your Livewire component outside those wrappers.
Double-check Pagination Component

Although you’ve already tried removing the Bootstrap theme, sometimes the error can occur if the generated pagination links are not rendered inside the Livewire component. Ensure that the pagination links are part of your component’s returned view and that the component isn’t being nested in a way that breaks the DOM tree structure.
Caching and Duplicate Assets

Ensure that you don’t have caching issues or duplicate inclusion of Livewire assets. This can be a problem if, for example, both your layout and your component view include the Livewire directives.

By ensuring that your layout properly loads Livewire assets and that the component’s root element is static, you should be able to avoid the error:

Uncaught Could not find Livewire component in DOM tree

This ensures that when pagination links trigger an update, Livewire can correctly re-render the component in the proper spot in the DOM.

Try these adjustments and test again. If the issue persists, double-check that your layout structure isn’t interfering with Livewire’s DOM diffing and update logic.

i guess this is happened because when the Livewire component is not properly included in the DOM after a re-render, especially when using pagination with an array

Try this approach

PHP
<?php
use Livewire\WithPagination;

class UsersList extends Component{

    use WithPagination;
    public $list ;

    public function render()
    {
        $data = Model::paginate(10); // Correct way to paginate
        return view('livewire.usersList', ['list' => $list ]);
    }
}
?>

Add key() to the Component

HTML
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
    <div wire:key="unique-key-{{ $loop->index }}">
        @foreach ($data as $item)
            <p>{{ $item->name }}</p>
        @endforeach
        {{ $data->links() }} <!-- Ensure you're using Laravel's pagination links -->
    </div>
</body>
</html>
