I’m few days old elixir and phoenix user, that’s why maybe this is a simple question to answer but the experience team, but wanted to finally understand and get this things working somehow, already tried everything. One minor note also, have added petal_components (they might be giving me this pain) :smiley:

Also using all the latest packages :slight_smile:

I’m encountering a compilation error related to inputs_for/2 in my LiveView module:

error: undefined function inputs_for/2 (expected ExampleInputs.NewLive to define such a function or for it to be imported, but none are available)
  lib/example_inputs/live/new_live.ex:121:15

error: undefined function inputs_for/2 (expected ExampleInputs.NewLive to define such a function or for it to be imported, but none are available)
  lib/example_inputs/live/new_live.ex:59:63

error: undefined function inputs_for/2 (expected ExampleInputs.NewLive to define such a function or for it to be imported, but none are available)
  lib/example_inputs/live/new_live.ex:64:35

** (CompileError) lib/example_inputs/live/new_live.ex: cannot compile module ExampleInputs.NewLive (errors have been logged)

I’ve tried:

  • Importing Phoenix.HTML.Form at the top of my LiveView module.
  • Using use Phoenix.HTML as well.
  • Verifying that to_form and other form helpers are working correctly.

Despite these attempts, inputs_for/2 still isn’t recognized. Any suggestions on what I might be missing or how to properly use inputs_for within a LiveView?

Maybe html logic is wrong?

<div class="space-y-4">
                <%= for {item_form, index} <- Enum.with_index(inputs_for(@form, :items)) do %>
                  <div class="flex items-start space-x-2">
                    <div class="flex-grow">
                      <.input field={item_form[:title]} type="text" label="Item Title" required />
                    </div>
                    <%= if length(inputs_for(@form, :items)) > 1 do %>
                      <.button
                        type="button"
                        phx-click="remove_item"
                        phx-value-index={index}
                        class="mt-8"
                        variant="ghost"
                        size="sm"
                      >
                        <.icon name="hero-trash" class="w-4 h-4 text-red-500" />
                      </.button>
                    <% end %>
                  </div>
                <% end %>

Incorrectly used the inputs_for, pretty much :slight_smile:. Closing :wink:

<.inputs_for field={@form[:items]} :let={item_form}>
                  <div class="flex items-start space-x-2">
                    <div class="flex-grow">
                      <.input field={item_form[:title]} type="text" label="Item Title" required />
                    </div>
                    <%= if @items_count > 1 do %>
                      <.button
                        type="button"
                        phx-click="remove_item"
                        phx-value-index={item_form.index}

                        size="sm"
                      >
                        <.icon name="hero-trash" class="w-4 h-4 text-red-500" />
                      </.button>
                    <% end %>
                  </div>
                </.inputs_for>

Those helpers don’t exist anymore in latest versions. Most were made obsolete with heex and inputs_for now lives in Phoenix.Component.

Great to know, thank you! :slight_smile: I guess, I did a dirty workaround using PhoenixCompnent directly)
