Help wit plugin not working?

Hello All -

I have two git branches on a project i'm working on (I'm the new/rookie developer - both experienced developers working with me are on vacation, I'm stuck in the water) and I have installed a filament plugin for a custom form field called "Phone-Input". On one branch it's working just fine, on a second branch i get the following error:

Alpine Expression Error: phoneInputFormComponent is not defined

Here is the message:

Uncaught ReferenceError: phoneInputFormComponent is not defined
    at [Alpine] phoneInputFormComponent({
                    options: {
                        allowDropdown: true,

                        focusNumberFormat: false,
                        ...[],
                    },
                    locale: 'en',
                    intlTelInputSelectedCountryCookieName: 'intlTelInputSelectedCountry',
                    state: $wire.$entangle('data.number'),
                    statePath: 'data.number',
                    isLive: false,
                    isLiveDebounced: false,
                    isLiveOnBlur: false,
                    liveDebounce: null,
                                    }) (eval at safeAsyncFunction (http://app.test.loc/livewire/livewire.js?id=38dc8241:1171:21), <anonymous>:3:16)

Any suggestions on what is going on, and how i can fix it?

Thanks so much!

The error message you're encountering, "Alpine Expression Error: phoneInputFormComponent is not defined," suggests that the JavaScript component or function phoneInputFormComponent is not being recognized in your second branch. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve this issue:

Check for Missing Files:
- Ensure that all necessary JavaScript files are included in your second branch. It's possible that the file defining phoneInputFormComponent is missing or not being loaded.
Compare Branches:
- Use a diff tool to compare the two branches. Look for differences in the JavaScript files, especially those related to the plugin or Alpine.js setup. Pay attention to any imports or script tags that might be missing.
Verify Plugin Installation:
- Double-check that the plugin is correctly installed and configured in the second branch. Ensure that any installation steps, such as npm or composer installs, have been completed.
Check for Build Process:
- If you're using a build tool like Webpack, Vite, or Laravel Mix, ensure that the build process has been run on the second branch. Sometimes, changes in JavaScript files require a fresh build to take effect.
Inspect HTML:
- Make sure that the HTML where phoneInputFormComponent is used is correctly set up. Verify that the component is being initialized properly and that any data or methods it relies on are available.
Console Errors:
- Open the browser's developer console and look for any additional errors or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
Check for Alpine.js Version:
- Ensure that the version of Alpine.js being used is consistent across both branches. Sometimes, version differences can lead to unexpected behavior.
Clear Cache:
- Clear your browser cache or try accessing the application in an incognito window to rule out any caching issues.

By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the issue and apply the necessary fix. If you find a specific difference or missing piece, updating the second branch to match the working branch should resolve the error.
