Alpine: Modify x-data properties from outside component

[andruu]

I'm using livewire and triggering an event that I'm trying to listen to in alpine. What's the best way to do this?

For a temporary work around I'm listening for the livewire event and then firing a window event and listening for that with x-on.

Hey @andruu, I recently came across this myself.

I'm adding a Livewire component method in the next release:

$this->dispatchBrowserEvent('foo')

that can be called from the backend, and the root div of the livewire component will dispatch this. Then Alpine can listen for it.

This has been added in the latest Livewire release.
