Livewire wire:click Not Working Inside Alpine.js x-data Directive

I'm encountering an issue where Livewire's wire:click method doesn't work inside an Alpine.js x-data directive. Here's a breakdown of my setup:

Inside routes/web.php,

Route::get('/product/{slug}', [ProductController::class, 'show'])->name('product.show');

Inside app/Http/Controllers/ProductController.php,

public function show($slug)
{
    // Fetching the product and related products data
    // Pass the product and related products to the view
    return view('pages.products.show', compact('product', 'products'));
}

Inside resources/views/pages/products/show.blade.php,

   @extends('layouts.default')
   @section('title', $product->model)
   @section('content')
       @livewire('button', ['product' => $product])
       <div class="max-w-screen-xl mx-auto p-4">
           @livewire('button', ['product' => $product])
           <div x-data="{ mainImage: '{{ $product->images->first() ? asset('img/products/' . $product->slug . '/' . $product->images->first()->filename) : asset('img/common/img-unavailable.jpg') }}' }">
               @livewire('button', ['product' => $product])
               <div class="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
                   @livewire('button', ['product' => $product])
               </div>
           </div>
           @livewire('button', ['product' => $product])
           <x-products.grid :products="$products" />
       </div>
   @endsection

Inside resources/views/livewire/button.blade.php,

<div>
    <button
        class="bg-indigo-600 flex gap-2 items-center text-white px-6 py-2 rounded-md hover:bg-indigo-700 focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-indigo-500 focus:ring-offset-2" type="button" wire:click="clicked">
        Add to Cart
    </button>
</div>

Inside app/Livewire/Button.php,

<?php

namespace App\Livewire;

use Barryvdh\Debugbar\Facades\Debugbar;
use Livewire\Component;

class Button extends Component
{
    public $product;

    public function mount($product)
    {
        $this->product = $product;
        Debugbar::info("Product mounted:", $this->product);
    }

    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.button');
    }

    public function clicked()
    {
        Debugbar::info("clicked");
        Debugbar::info("Product in cart:", $this->product);
        // $this->emit('cartUpdated');
    }
}

All Livewire buttons in the show.blade.php view work correctly except for those inside the Alpine.js x-data directive. Specifically, the buttons inside this block:

<div x-data="{ mainImage: '{{ $product->images->first() ? asset('img/products/' . $product->slug . '/' . $product->images->first()->filename) : asset('img/common/img-unavailable.jpg') }}' }">
    @livewire('button', ['product' => $product])
    <div class="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
        @livewire('button', ['product' => $product])
    </div>
</div>

The wire:click method on these buttons does not trigger the clicked method in the Livewire component. However, the mount method is called, and the product details are logged in Debugbar. The buttons outside this x-data block work as expected, and clicking them results in an AJAX call and logs the "clicked" message.

The issue you're facing occurs because Alpine.js and Livewire don't always work together seamlessly when you're trying to trigger Livewire actions inside an Alpine.js context, especially when Alpine is managing the DOM updates within an x-data directive. Alpine.js intercepts events like wire:click before Livewire can process them.

Here solution to resolve the issue:

Solution 1: Use x-on for Livewire Events

nstead of using wire:click directly, you can use Alpine's x-on directive to emit the event and trigger the Livewire method. Here's how you can adjust your button code:

<div x-data="{ mainImage: '{{ $product->images->first() ? asset('img/products/' . $product->slug . '/' . $product->images->first()->filename) : asset('img/common/img-unavailable.jpg') }}' }">
<button
    class="bg-indigo-600 flex gap-2 items-center text-white px-6 py-2 rounded-md hover:bg-indigo-700 focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-indigo-500 focus:ring-offset-2"
    type="button"
    x-on:click="$wire.clicked"
>
    Add to Cart
</button>
<div class="container mx-auto px-4 py-8">
    <button
        class="bg-indigo-600 flex gap-2 items-center text-white px-6 py-2 rounded-md hover:bg-indigo-700 focus:outline-none focus:ring-2 focus:ring-indigo-500 focus:ring-offset-2"
        type="button"
        x-on:click="$wire.clicked"
    >
        Add to Cart
    </button>
</div>

In this solution, Alpine.js will call the $wire.clicked method directly when the button is clicked, bypassing the need for wire:click inside the x-data scope.
