In this section, we will see a loading circle animation after submitting a form in Laravel Livewire. To achieve this, we will utilize Livewire Loading States. The wire:loading directive is particularly useful, as it is only visible while waiting for a network action to complete.
Use sleep() function in livewire component
The sleep() function delays execution of the current script for a specified number of seconds.
Livewire Component File
<?php
namespace App\Http\Livewire;
use App\Models\Post;
use Livewire\Component;
use Livewire\WithPagination;
class PostForm extends Component
{
use WithPagination;
public $title;
public $description;
public $post_id;
protected $rules = [
'title' => 'required',
'description' => 'required',
];
public function storePost()
{
$this->validate();
$post = Post::create([
'title' => $this->title,
'description' => $this->description
]);
// delay
sleep(3);
$this->reset();
session()->flash('message', 'Post created successfully.');
}
public function render()
{
return view('livewire.post-form', ['posts' => Post::latest()->paginate(10)]);
}
}Livewire Component View File
You can use wire:loading alone or in combination with wire:target. I suggest using wire:loading with wire:target as it makes the code more readable.

You can customize the delay duration with the following modifier.
