@kevinbatdorf is creating shareable Alpine.js helpers for you, go check it out on GitHub https://github.com/KevinBatdorf/alpine-magic-helpers
Going to work on adding a bunch of helper methods to use with @Alpine_JS. Currently I only have 3 setup ($fetch, $interval, and $truncate) but will add more over time. Let me know if you have some suggestions for other helps you’d like! https://github.com/KevinBatdorf/alpine-magic-helpers — Kevin Batdorf (@kevinbatdorf) August 16, 2020

He’s even got something working for accessing data from parent components in nested components using $parent.
$parent
Working on a magic helper for @Alpine_JS to simplify reactively accessing parent component data (or any other component). Here’s the PR if anyone has feedback: https://t.co/ZLuLxAHyWS The syntax would be intuitive as this: — Kevin Batdorf (@kevinbatdorf) August 18, 2020

Getting mixed results from your CSS breakpoints and JavaScript’s width() methods? 🤔 You can use media queries in JavaScript as well! Works excellent with @Alpine_JS and @tailwindcss 🔥 MDN docs: https://t.co/gBtSGbWMCp pic.twitter.com/GWwrxkFwmo — Pascal Baljet (@pascalbaljet) August 19, 2020

Some people might not know that $watch supports nested object/array properties using dot-notation.
$watch
🔥@Alpine_JS tip You can watch deep/nested array/object properties using dot notation, thanks @jeffrey_way for asking 😬 eg. “$watch(‘array.0.msg’, (val) => {})” or “$watch(‘https://t.co/sPyeD7QSRl.value’, val => console.log(val))”pic.twitter.com/UL5YYOGC4x — Hugo (@hugo__df) August 20, 2020

Here are this week’s Alpine.js adopters:
This is starting to look good. Replicating @laravelphp docs with @Alpine_JS @tailwindcss. Supporting Markdown too. by @bladedocs
Blade Docs will not care how you navigate through your docs. Each button in the navigation will have custom event dispatched by @Alpine_JS that will let you decide what you want to do. by @bladedocs
Beginnings. @Alpine_JS @tailwindcss @laravelphp by @bladedocs

Used @Alpine_JS for the first time this week. It’s absolutely perfect for adding a bit of interactivity to a single page. Especially when working within a CMS that exposes little more than a “content box” for HTML. — Chris Berry (@Chris_Berry) August 20, 2020

After a couple of small projects (one personal and one Pro Bono) I’m extremely happy with the static-first + #serverless approach that @eleven_ty plus @Netlify provides. One needs little frontend code and for the other @Alpine_JS is prefect. DevOps is a happy place again. — Steve Lee (@SteveALee) August 16, 2020
