Open a Modal from a different component

[bwosborne2]

How to you open a Modal from a different Livewire Component ( not blade) ?

I have a component named Devices and, in certain situations, I want to open OwnerModal

You can use javascript and the Livewire object:

<!-- Outside of any Livewire component -->
<button onclick="Livewire.emit('openModal', 'edit-user')">Edit User</button>

<!-- Inside existing Livewire component -->
<button wire:click="$emit('openModal', 'edit-user')">Edit User</button>

<!-- Taking namespace into account for component Admin/Actions/EditUser -->
<button wire:click="$emit('openModal', 'admin.actions.edit-user')">Edit User</button>

I am trying to show the OwnerModal by calling it within the mount() method of the Devices component. No button is involved.

It's not possible to call another modal from the mount() method due to how Livewire works.

OK, Thank you.
