wire:offline

The wire:offline directive enables you to create responsive user interfaces that gracefully handle network connectivity changes, providing visual feedback when users go offline or come back online.

Basic Usage

This simple component demonstrates wire:offline for showing content when offline, adding CSS classes, and removing CSS classes:

BoxLang

// wires/OfflineDemo.bx
class extends="cbwire.models.Component" {
    data = {};
}

CFML

BoxLang

<!-- wires/offlineDemo.bxm -->
<bx:output>
<div class="app">
    <!-- Connection status indicator -->
    <div wire:offline.class="offline" wire:offline.class.remove="online" 
         class="status-indicator online">
        <span class="status-text">Connected</span>
    </div>

    <!-- Offline message - only shows when offline -->
    <div wire:offline class="offline-banner">
        <h3>You're currently offline</h3>
        <p>Some features may be unavailable.</p>
    </div>

    <!-- Button that gets disabled when offline -->
    <button wire:offline.class="disabled" class="sync-button">
        Sync Data
    </button>
</div>
</bx:output>

What wire:offline Does

When you add wire:offline to an element, CBWIRE automatically:

• Detects connectivity changes: Monitors browser online/offline status in real-time

• Shows/hides elements: Makes elements visible only when the user goes offline

• Toggles CSS classes: Adds or removes specified classes based on connection state

• Provides immediate feedback: Updates the UI instantly when connectivity changes

Available Modifiers

You can customize offline behavior with these modifiers:

• Class addition: .class="offline-style" - Add CSS classes when offline

• Class removal: .class.remove="online-style" - Remove CSS classes when offline

Combine both modifiers: wire:offline.class="offline".class.remove="online"
