Usage

x-editable

Makes an element editable by adding it to the global editable.js instance. Binds the expression value to the innerHTML of the element. Forwards editable.js events as DOM events on the element.

<div
    x-data="{ title: 'foo' }"
    x-editable="title"
    @editable-change="title = $event.target.innerHTML"
></div>

x-editable:disabled

Disable and enable editing reactively. Uses editable.js methods disable() and enable().

<div
    x-data="{ title: 'foo', isDisabled: false }"
    x-editable="title"
    x-editable:disabled="isDisabled"
></div>

x-editable:suspended

Suspend and continue editing reactively. Uses editable.js methods suspend() and continue().

<div
    x-data="{ title: 'foo', isSuspended: false }"
    x-editable="title"
    x-editable:suspended="isSuspended"
></div>

$editable

Exposes the global editable.js instance to Alpine.

<div
    x-data="{ text: 'foo' }"
    x-editable="text"
    x-ref="editable"
></div>

<button
    @click="const text = $editable.getContent($refs.editable); await navigator.clipboard.writeText(text);"
>
    Copy to Clipboard
</button>

Events

All events emitted by editable.js are dispatched as CustomEvent on the DOM element. The event names are prefixed with editable-, e.g. editable.js event change becomes editable-change. Use x-on to listen for them.

<div
    x-editable="value"
    @editable-change="value = $event.target.innerHTML"
    @editable-blur="saveValue()"
></div

A full list of events can be found in the editable.js README.
