I'm integrating Livewire into my Laravel project, but my 'Order Now' button doesn't trigger any response. I'll explain my current setup:
- My master layout (master.blade.php) includes Livewire's styles and scripts:
HTML<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" /> @yield('meta') <title>@yield('title')</title> <link rel="icon" href="{{asset('frontEnd/images/favicon.png')}}"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('frontEnd/fonts/flaticon/flaticon.css')}}"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('frontEnd/fonts/icofont/icofont.min.css')}}"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('frontEnd/fonts/fontawesome/fontawesome.min.css')}}"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('frontEnd/css/vendor/bootstrap.min.css')}}"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('frontEnd/css/custom/home-grid.css')}}"> @livewireStyles @yield('css') </head> <body> <div class="backdrop"></div> @include('frontEnd.includes.header') @include('frontEnd.includes.menu') @include('frontEnd.includes.categorySidebar') @include('frontEnd.includes/navSidebar') @yield('mainContent') @include('frontEnd.includes/footer') <script src="{{asset('frontEnd/js/vendor/jquery-1.12.4.min.js')}}"></script> <script src="{{asset('frontEnd/js/vendor/popper.min.js')}}"></script> <script src="{{asset('frontEnd/js/vendor/bootstrap.min.js')}}"></script> <script src="{{asset('frontEnd/js/vendor/nice-select.min.js')}}"></script> <script src="{{asset('frontEnd/js/vendor/venobox.min.js')}}"></script> <script src="{{asset('frontEnd/js/vendor/countdown.min.js')}}"></script> <script src="{{asset('frontEnd/js/vendor/slick.min.js')}}"></script> @livewireScripts @yield('scripts') </body> </html>
- My Livewire component view (productdetails.blade.php) uses Blade sections:
HTML<div> @section('title') {{ $productById->productName }} @endsection @section('meta') <meta property="og:url" content="{{ url('/product-details/'.$productById->productSlug) }}" /> <meta property="og:type" content="article" /> <meta property="og:title" content="{{ $productById->productName }}" /> <meta property="og:description" content="{{ $productById->productName) }}" /> <meta property="og:image" content="{{ asset('images/productImages/'.$productById->productImage) }}" /> @endsection @section('css') <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('frontEnd/css/custom/product-details.css') }}"> @endsection @section('mainContent') <section class="inner-section" style="margin-top: 30px;"> <div class="container"> <div class="row"> <div class="col-lg-12"> <div class="row product_data"> <div class="col-lg-5"> <div class="details-gallery" style="border: 2px solid var(--primary); border-radius: 8px;"> <ul class="details-preview slider-arrow"> <li><img src="{{ asset('images/productImages/'.$productById->productImage) }}" alt="product"></li> @php $productImgGallery = json_decode($productById->productGalleryImage); @endphp @foreach($productImgGallery as $singleImages) @if($singleImages != '') <li><img src="{{ asset('images/productImages/'.$singleImages) }}" alt="product"></li> @endif @endforeach </ul> <ul class="details-thumb"> <li><img src="{{ asset('images/productImages/'.$productById->productImage) }}" alt="product"></li> @php $productImgGallery = json_decode($productById->productGalleryImage); @endphp @foreach($productImgGallery as $singleImages) @if($singleImages != '') <li><img src="{{ asset('images/productImages/'.$singleImages) }}" alt="product"></li> @endif @endforeach </ul> </div> </div> <div class="col-lg-7"> <div class="details-content" style="border-top: 2px solid var(--primary);"> <h3 class="details-name">{{ $productById->productName }}</h3> <h3 class="details-price"> @if($productById->stock->offerPrice != '') <del>৳ {{ $productById->stock->regularPrice }}</del> <span>৳ {{ $productById->stock->offerPrice }} <small>/{{ $productById->unitName }}</small></span> @else <span>৳ {{ $productById->stock->regularPrice }} <small>/{{ $productById->unitName }}</small></span> @endif </h3> <div class="details-desc"> {!! $productById->productShortDescription !!} </div> <div class="row no-gutters"> <div> <div class="col-12 col-md-12"> <div class="cart-action-group"> <div class="product-action"> <button class="action-minus" title="Quantity Minus"><i class="icofont-minus"></i></button> <input class="action-input" title="Quantity Number" type="text" name="qty" value="1"> <button class="action-plus" title="Quantity Plus"><i class="icofont-plus"></i></button> </div> </div> <div class="details-add-group"> <button class="product-add add-to-cart-btn" title="Order Now" wire:click="addToCart({{ $productById->id }})"> <i class="fas fa-shopping-bag"></i> <span>Order Now</span> </button> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </section> @endsection @section('scripts') <script type="text/javascript"> function myChangeFunction(input1) { var input2 = document.getElementById('quantity2'); input2.value = input1.value; } </script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ //$(".slick-active").each(function(){ var imgPath = $('.slick-active img').attr('src'); $('#imagesName').val(imgPath); console.log(imgPath); }); </script> @endsection
- My Livewire component class (Productdetails.php) is defined as follows:
PHP<?php namespace App\Livewire; use App\Models\StockPrice; use App\Models\Product; use Livewire\Component; use Surfsidemedia\Shoppingcart\Facades\Cart; class Productdetails extends Component { public $cartCounter = 0; public $cartTotal = 0; protected $listeners = ['updateCartCount' => 'render']; public $productById; public function render(){ $this->cartCounter = Cart::count(); $cartContents = Cart::content(); $this->cartTotal = 0; foreach ($cartContents as $item){ $this->cartTotal += $item->price * $item->qty; } return view('livewire.productdetails', [ 'cartContents' => Cart::content() ]); } public function addToCart($id) { dd($id); } public function mount($productSlug){ $this->productById = Product::where('productSlug', $productSlug) ->where('products.status', 1) ->first(); } }
The issue: When I click the "Order Now" button, I receive no response. I expect the Livewire method addToCart() to be called, yet nothing happens. I also need to occasionally use Laravel controllers in my project along with Livewire features.
What could be causing this behavior and how can I resolve it?

Below is one common cause and its solution.
What’s Going on
Your “Order Now” button is using a Livewire directive:
HTML<button class="product-add add-to-cart-btn" title="Order Now" wire:click="addToCart({{ $productById->id }})"> <i class="fas fa-shopping-bag"></i> <span>Order Now</span> </button>
When using Livewire the method call (in your case “addToCart”) is sent via an XHR request. Using a debug function like dd() inside a Livewire action can cause the request to “die” before a proper response is generated. In an XHR request you might not see any visible error in the browser page.
A Likely Culprit
Your component’s view file (productdetails.blade.php) is written using Blade sections (e.g. @section('title'), @section('mainContent')). When working with Livewire, the view file should render the component’s content directly rather than using sections intended for traditional Blade layout inheritance. In many cases the use of sections in a Livewire component view prevents Livewire from properly bootstrapping its functionality and event listeners.
For example, in your Productdetails component you have:
BLADE<div> @section('title') {{ $productById->productName }} @endsection <!-- ... other sections ... --> @section('mainContent') <!-- component content --> @endsection </div>
Because Livewire renders its component view directly (often with a wrapping
that serves as the component’s root element), those section declarations will not be processed by your layout. This may cause the JavaScript Livewire framework not to initialize correctly and your click events to not trigger the expected method.
How to Fix It
There are two main approaches:
-
Remove Blade Sections from the Livewire Component View
When you need to use a Livewire component, you can let it render directly. For instance, change your livewire view (productdetails.blade.php) to remove the sections and structure it like:
BLADE<div> <h1>{{ $productById->productName }}</h1> <section class="inner-section" style="margin-top: 30px;"> <div class="container"> <!-- your component content directly here, e.g.: --> <button class="product-add add-to-cart-btn" title="Order Now" wire:click="addToCart({{ $productById->id }})"> <i class="fas fa-shopping-bag"></i> <span>Order Now</span> </button> <!-- rest of the content --> </div> </section> <script type="text/javascript"> // If you need scripts, you can include them here $(document).ready(function(){ var imgPath = $('.slick-active img').attr('src'); $('#imagesName').val(imgPath); console.log(imgPath); }); </script> </div>This way, Livewire can properly process the view without any interference from Blade’s section/yield logic.
-
Embed Your Livewire Component in a Blade View That Extends Your Layout
If you want to keep using your master layout with sections, then create a Blade view that extends your layout and embed the Livewire component like this:
BLADE{{-- resources/views/product-details.blade.php --}} @extends('master') @section('title') {{ $productById->productName }} @endsection @section('meta') <meta property="og:url" content="{{ url('/product-details/'.$productById->productSlug) }}" /> <!-- other meta tags --> @endsection @section('css') <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('frontEnd/css/custom/product-details.css') }}"> @endsection @section('mainContent') @livewire('productdetails', ['productSlug' => $productById->productSlug]) @endsection @section('scripts') <script type="text/javascript"> // your additional JavaScript $(document).ready(function(){ var imgPath = $('.slick-active img').attr('src'); $('#imagesName').val(imgPath); console.log(imgPath); }); </script> @endsectionAnd in your Livewire component view (for example, resources/views/livewire/productdetails.blade.php), include only the component’s inner content without any sections:
BLADE<div> <div class="row product_data"> <div class="col-lg-5"> <!-- gallery and product images --> </div> <div class="col-lg-7"> <div class="details-content"> <h3 class="details-name">{{ $productById->productName }}</h3> <!-- pricing and description --> <div class="details-add-group"> <button class="product-add add-to-cart-btn" title="Order Now" wire:click="addToCart({{ $productById->id }})"> <i class="fas fa-shopping-bag"></i> <span>Order Now</span> </button> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div>
Additional Note on dd()
Using dd($id) within your Livewire method:
PHPpublic function addToCart($id) { dd($id); }
Because Livewire processes this via an AJAX call, you might not see the dd output on your normal page. Instead, check your browser’s network response or use logging (e.g., Laravel’s Log facade) for debugging in production-like scenarios.
Summary
- Remove or move Blade sections out of your Livewire component view so that Livewire can properly initialize and listen for events.
- Alternatively, embed your Livewire component within a regular Blade view that extends your layout while keeping the component view “pure.”
- Keep in mind that debugging with dd() in Livewire might not display as expected. Use logging or inspect the AJAX response.
By following these steps, you should be able to get a response when clicking “Order Now” and fully utilize Livewire’s features alongside your Laravel controllers.
