# Livewire PowerGrid for Laravel Data Tables > Livewire PowerGrid builds configurable Laravel data tables as Livewire components, with filtering, editing, exports, bulk actions, and a portable Turbine grid definition. It fits Laravel applications that need an interactive table, but its current v7 line is still published as a beta. **Power-Components/livewire-powergrid** — ⚡ PowerGrid generates modern, powerful and easy-to-customize data tables using Laravel Livewire. - Repository: https://github.com/Power-Components/livewire-powergrid - Website: https://livewire-powergrid.com - Stars: 1,694 · Forks: 242 - Language: PHP - License: MIT - Published: 2026-10-16 · Updated: 2026-10-16 · Language: en - Canonical page: https://hysenlabs.com/projects/power-components-livewire-powergrid ## Where PowerGrid Is the Wrong Choice PowerGrid is a poor fit when the requirement is a static list of a few fields with no search, sorting, editing, or server-side action. In that case, a Blade table may be easier to understand and carry fewer package conventions. It is also a weak fit for a frontend-only React or Vue product with no Laravel backend. The Inertia support described by the README is tied to sharing a Turbine grid definition and migrating a Laravel-backed screen, not to using PowerGrid as an ordinary standalone JavaScript grid. Another concern is dependence on a moving major version. The current `7.x` default branch and beta releases require an explicit stability decision, particularly when upgrading an existing application. PowerGrid does not document a rollback procedure in the README, so an adopter should not assume one exists. There is also a framework floor: PHP 8.3+, Laravel 12+, Livewire 4.0+, and Tailwind CSS 4.x exclude applications that cannot yet move to those versions. Compared with a hand-written Livewire component, PowerGrid supplies filters, plugins, exports, bulk actions, summaries, themes, and Scout support as reusable conventions. Compared with a client-side grid library, its model remains Laravel- and Livewire-centered. The decision should follow from whether those server-side table features and shared query definitions justify that integration cost. ## What PowerGrid Solves Livewire PowerGrid addresses a recurring Laravel application problem: turning model data into a table that users can sort, search, filter, edit, and act on without manually coordinating a Blade view, a Livewire component, query parameters, validation, and client-side interaction. It targets developers who already use Laravel Livewire and need a configurable table inside a Livewire application rather than a separate JavaScript grid product. The package is aimed at administrative panels, operational tools, content administration, and application screens that expose changing database records to authenticated users. Its README says basic table features are enabled by default. It also says generated table components include usage examples that can be uncommented and adapted, which lowers the initial setup burden for a conventional Laravel table. That convenience comes with a specific framework dependency. PowerGrid is not presented as a generic table renderer for any JavaScript application. Even though its Turbine engine can share a definition with Inertia or REST interfaces, the documented integration remains part of the Laravel-oriented PowerGrid system. Developers who need only a small static table will probably get more value from a direct Blade implementation. ## Livewire Rendering and Turbine Query Flow PowerGrid is built around Laravel Livewire components. The component supplies table data and interaction state, while Blade and Livewire handle rendering and updates. Its feature list includes pagination, sorting, filters, global search, row buttons, checkboxes, dropdown menus, and responsive presentation. It also includes server-side actions that perform full Blade rendering without a JavaScript cache. The README names Hot Zones using `pg-tbody`, `pg-pagination`, and `pg-filters` for Livewire DOM isolation. That can reduce the amount of Livewire-rendered content affected by interaction updates, although the README does not claim that the entire table is isolated. Page-level rendering and cache behavior should therefore be evaluated in the application that uses it. For data access, PowerGrid delegates its framework-independent core to the Turbine engine. A portable `Turbine\GridDefinition` can describe a grid once and share it between a Livewire PowerGrid component and an Inertia React or Vue interface, or a REST endpoint. A class extending `TurbineTable` points its `definition()` method at that portable definition. PowerGrid reads `datasource`, `columns`, `fields`, `filters`, `setUp`, `relationSearch`, `searchMorphs`, and `transformQuery` from it. The README documents the shared architecture, but not a complete Inertia or REST setup. ## Installation and First Use The README lists PHP 8.3+, Laravel 12+, Livewire 4.0+, and Tailwind CSS 4.x as requirements. First confirm those constraints in the application, then install PowerGrid through Composer with the command below. It adds the package to the application's Composer-managed dependencies. ```bash composer require power-components/livewire-powergrid ``` After Composer completes, the README directs developers to the Documentation install page at `https://livewire-powergrid.com/get-started/install.html`. The README does not provide the remaining publication steps, generated file names, component-generation command, or a complete first table example, so this tutorial does not invent those instructions. The documentation page is the place to verify the files created and the command used to generate the initial component. For applications using Laravel Boost, the README describes PowerGrid's Agent Skills and guideline for Laravel Boost. The following commands add Boost as a development dependency and run its installer: ```bash composer require laravel/boost --dev php artisan boost:install ``` If Boost is already installed, the README gives this discovery command: ```bash php artisan boost:update --discover ``` These commands concern coding-agent resources and do not replace the basic PowerGrid installation. The README also points to an online interactive demo where developers can inspect source examples, but it does not state that a demo component can be copied directly into an arbitrary Laravel application. ## Features That Affect Application Design PowerGrid's feature set is broader than sorting and pagination. The README lists a custom filter builder, global search, column filters, multi-row bulk actions, and conditional rules for rows, buttons, and checkboxes. Its plugin system covers inline click-to-edit controls, toggle switches, and a Flatpickr date picker. Custom cell content can represent links, images, or formatted currency values. The package also supports column summaries for Sum, Count, and Average. Export is available in XLSX and CSV through OpenSpout, with queued export listed for large datasets. Laravel Scout is supported as a search option. These capabilities are useful when one administrative screen needs several kinds of interaction, but they also make PowerGrid more than a simple table component. Selecting it can reduce custom query and interface code while introducing package-specific conventions for columns, plugins, filters, actions, and generated components. Theme support includes Tailwind CSS, DaisyUI, and Flux themes, along with custom themes through `struct()`. That choice places presentation inside the same package as table behavior. It can suit teams that want several CSS components to share a consistent table design. A custom theme must still be expressed through PowerGrid's theme API rather than an entirely independent Blade and CSS implementation. The README does not show a complete custom theme definition. ## v7 Stability, Upgrades, and Licensing The repository is not archived, and its last push was on 2026-10-16. The default branch is `7.x`. The listed recent releases include `v7.0.0-beta.6` dated 2026-09-21, `v6.11.1` dated 2026-09-21, and `v7.0.0-beta.5` dated 2026-09-05. The 7.x line is therefore documented through beta releases, while 6.11.1 is the listed non-beta release in the release list. The repository includes `UPGRADE.md`, but the README does not document its contents, compatibility matrix, or automated migration procedure. It is not possible to confirm from the README whether a 6.x installation can be upgraded automatically. Teams using 6.x should check the selected Composer constraint and read `UPGRADE.md` for component, theme, plugin, and API changes. Teams starting new work must decide whether the v7 conventions justify adopting a beta line. The project license is MIT. That identifier provides the license context for use, modification, and distribution, but the actual MIT file should be reviewed for its notice, permission, and warranty conditions. The license does not remove the need to assess the beta status or the upgrade cost of custom components. ## Conclusion PowerGrid is a reasonable fit for developers building a substantial data-table interface inside Laravel 12 with Livewire 4, especially when filtering, inline editing, exports, or bulk actions would otherwise require several separate pieces of application code. it is a poor choice for a small static list, a frontend-only React or Vue application that does not use Laravel, or an adoption decision that cannot tolerate the current v7 beta line. Before upgrading an existing table, verify PHP 8.3, Laravel 12, Livewire 4, and Tailwind CSS 4 compatibility, then consult `UPGRADE.md` for the specific v7 transition. ## FAQ ### What are the Livewire PowerGrid requirements?
