#Features to Pay Attention To

This project goes beyond the default Laravel Breeze setup with the following enhancements.

1. Uses Laravel Breeze but not its official Livewire Volt version. Instead, the project uses Blade version of Breeze, adding Livewire only for create/edit forms with dynamic elements.
2. Also, the project doesn't use Livewire full-page components, it uses Laravel PostController and the full layout comes from Laravel Breeze starter kit
3. Creates two Livewire components: Posts/Create and Posts/Edit
4. Adds slug input field with auto-generating the slug as the post title is being typed, with 1-second delay: wire:model.live.debounce.1s
5. Utilizes PHP Attribute #Validate to define the validation rules for the fields
6. Uses Alpine.js to show the number of characters remained in the post body in "live" mode: <span x-text="body ? body.length : 0">
7. Uses "flash" messages in the session to show the result after store/update/delete: session()->flash('message', 'Post updated successfully');
8. Includes Pest test file PostsTest that has methods to test all Livewire form elements and also validation of each field.
