DB_CONNECTION=mysql DB_HOST=127.0.0.1 DB_PORT=3306 DB_DATABASE=here your database name here DB_USERNAME=here database username here DB_PASSWORD=here database password here
Step 3: Run Migration

php artisan make:model Employee -m
This command will create one model name Employee.php, and create one migration that name create_employees_table.php
So, Navigate to database/migrations folder and open create_ employees_table.php file. Then update the following code into create_ employees_table.php file:
public function up()
{
Schema::create('employees', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('name');
$table->string('email');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
Next, open command prompt and execute the following command to create the table into your database:
php artisan migrate
Next, Navigate to app/Models/ directory and open Employee.php file. Then update the following code into it:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Employee extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $guarded = [];
}
Step 4: Install Livewire Package
In this step, you need to install livewire package to your laravel project using the following command:
composer require livewire/livewire
Step 5: Create Livewire Add/Remove Component

php artisan make:livewire employees
This command will create the following components on the following path:
app/Http/Livewire/Employees.php resources/views/livewire/employees.blade.php
Now, Navigate to app/Http/Livewire folder and open Employees.php file. Then add the following code into your Employees.php file:
<?php
namespace App\Http\Livewire;
use Livewire\Component;
use App\Employee;
use App\Http\Livewire\Field;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class Employees extends Component
{
public $employees, $name, $email, $employee_id;
public $updateMode = false;
public $inputs = [];
public $i = 1;
public function add($i)
{
$i = $i + 1;
$this->i = $i;
array_push($this->inputs ,$i);
}
public function remove($i)
{
unset($this->inputs[$i]);
}
public function render()
{
$this->employees = Employee::all();
return view('livewire.employees');
}
private function resetInputFields(){
$this->name = '';
$this->email = '';
}
public function store()
{
$validatedDate = $this->validate([
'name.0' => 'required',
'email.0' => 'required',
'name.*' => 'required',
'email.*' => 'required|email',
],
[
'name.0.required' => 'name field is required',
'email.0.required' => 'email field is required',
'email.0.email' => 'The email must be a valid email address.',
'name.*.required' => 'name field is required',
'email.*.required' => 'email field is required',
'email.*.email' => 'The email must be a valid email address.',
]
);
foreach ($this->name as $key => $value) {
Employee::create(['name' => $this->name[$key], 'email' => $this->email[$key]]);
}
$this->inputs = [];
$this->resetInputFields();
session()->flash('message', 'Employee Has Been Created Successfully.');
}
}
After that, Navigate to resources/views/livewire folder and open employees.blade.php file. Then add the following code into your employees.blade.php file:
<div>
@if (session()->has('message'))
<div class="alert alert-success">
{{ session('message') }}
</div>
@endif
<form>
<div class=" add-input">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Name" wire:model="name.0">
@error('name.0') <span class="text-danger error">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control" wire:model="email.0" placeholder="Enter Email">
@error('email.0') <span class="text-danger error">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<button class="btn text-white btn-info btn-sm" wire:click.prevent="add({{$i}})">Add</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@foreach($inputs as $key => $value)
<div class=" add-input">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="text" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Name" wire:model="name.{{ $value }}">
@error('name.'.$value) <span class="text-danger error">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-5">
<div class="form-group">
<input type="email" class="form-control" wire:model="email.{{ $value }}" placeholder="Enter Email">
@error('email.'.$value) <span class="text-danger error">{{ $message }}</span>@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="col-md-2">
<button class="btn btn-danger btn-sm" wire:click.prevent="remove({{$key}})">remove</button>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endforeach
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<button type="button" wire:click.prevent="store()" class="btn btn-success btn-sm">Save</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>

Route::get('/employees', function () {
return view('home');
});

<!DOCTYPE html>
