Modifying State in UpdateUserProfile Livewire

you need state for each of the elements, then when any changes, update the date_of_birth

I've managed to do this I think, here's how...

First I created a new livewire component docker-compose run --rm artisan make:livewire UpdateProfile which created 2 new files:

CLASS: app/Http/Livewire/UpdateProfile.php
VIEW:  resources/views/livewire/update-profile.blade.php

Then in resources/views/profile/show.blade.php I changed @livewire('profile.update-profile-information-form') to @livewire('update-profile') on line 11.

I then copied the contents of resources/views/profile/update-profile-information-form.php and pasted into resources/views/livewire/update-profile.blade.php

Finally I edited app/Http/Livewire/UpdateProfile.php with the following:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Livewire;

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
use Laravel\Jetstream\Http\Livewire\UpdateProfileInformationForm;
use Livewire\Component;

class UpdateProfile extends UpdateProfileInformationForm
{
    public function mount()
    {
        $this->state = Auth::user()->withoutRelations()->toArray();
        if(!is_null($this->state['date_of_birth'])){
            $dob = explode('-', $this->state['date_of_birth']);
            $this->state['date_of_birth_day'] = $dob[2];
            $this->state['date_of_birth_month'] = $dob[1];
            $this->state['date_of_birth_year'] = $dob[0];
        }
    }

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.update-profile');
    }
}

This seems to work OK - basically I've created a new Livewire component with it's own controller that just extends the original and in the mount function it expodes the full dob and writes seperate items into state.

Is this there an easier way I could have achieved the same thing?

written the same code in the original component?

@snapey so given the original component is views/livewire/profile/update-profile-information-form.php and its controller is vendor/laravel/jetstrem/src/Http/Livewire/UpdateProfileInformationForm.php - how would I just make the original component use a different (new) controller which extends the original?
