To display the error when a user updates to a new password that doesn't meet the minimum strength level in your Livewire component, you need to ensure that the validation errors are properly passed to the Livewire component. Here’s a step-by-step solution to achieve this:
-
Update the Livewire Component to Handle Validation Errors:
Modify your
UpdatePasswordsLivewire component to handle validation errors. You can use the@errordirective to display validation errors in the Livewire view.namespace App\Livewire; use Livewire\Component; use Illuminate\Support\Str; use Illuminate\Contracts\View\View; use ZxcvbnPhp\Zxcvbn; class UpdatePasswords extends Component { public string $password = ''; public string $passwordConfirmation = ''; public int $strengthScore = 0; public array $strengthLevels = [ 1 => 'Weak', 2 => 'Fair', 3 => 'Good', 4 => 'Strong', ]; public array $strengthColors = [ 0 => 'bg-red-600', 1 => 'bg-yellow-600', 2 => 'bg-orange-600', 3 => 'bg-lime-600', 4 => 'bg-green-600', ]; public function updatePassword(): void { $this->validate([ 'password' => ['required', 'confirmed', new PasswordRule], ]); $this->updatedPassword($this->password); } public function updatedPassword($value): void { $this->strengthScore = (new Zxcvbn())->passwordStrength($value)['score']; } public function generatePassword(): void { $password = Str::password(12); $this->setPasswords($password); } protected function setPasswords($value): void { $this->password = $value; $this->passwordConfirmation = $value; $this->updatedPassword($value); } public function render(): View { return view('livewire.update-passwords'); } } -
Update the Livewire View to Display Validation Errors:
Modify the Livewire view to display validation errors using the
@errordirective.<div> <!-- Password --> <div class="mt-4"> <x-input-label for="password" :value="__('Password. Must be strong')" /> <div class="flex mt-1 mb-2"> <div class="relative flex-1 col-span-4" x-data="{ show: true }"> <input class="w-full rounded-md border-gray-300 shadow-sm focus:border-indigo-300 focus:ring focus:ring-indigo-200 focus:ring-opacity-50" id="password" :type="show ?

Update the Form to Use Livewire:
Ensure that your form uses Livewire for handling the password update. This means you should call the Livewire method instead of submitting the form traditionally.
<section> <header> <h2 class="text-lg font-medium text-gray-900 dark:text-gray-100"> {{ __('Update Password') }} </h2> <p class="mt-1 text-sm text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-400"> {{ __('Ensure your account is using a long, random password to stay secure.') }} </p> </header> <form wire:submit.prevent="updatePassword" class="mt-6 space-y-6"> @csrf @method('put') <div> <x-input-label for="current_password" :value="__('Current Password')" /> <x-text-input id="current_password" name="current_password" type="password" class="mt-1 block w-full" autocomplete="current-password" /> <x-input-error :messages="$errors->updatePassword->get('current_password')" class="mt-2" /> </div> <livewire:update-passwords /> <div class="flex items-center gap-4"> <x-primary-button>{{ __('Save') }}</x-primary-button> @if (session('status') === 'password-updated') <p x-data="{ show: true }" x-show="show" x-transition x-init="setTimeout(() => show = false, 2000)" class="text-sm text-gray-600 dark:text-gray-400" >{{ __('Saved.') }}</p> @endif </div> </form> </section>
By following these steps, you ensure that the validation errors are properly displayed in your Livewire component when the password does not meet the required strength level.
