description: "Develops single-file Livewire components with Volt. Activates when creating Volt components, converting Livewire to Volt, working with @volt directive, functional or class-based Volt APIs; or when the user mentions Volt, single-file components, functional Livewire, or inline component logic in Blade files."

# Volt Development
## Documentation
Use `search-docs` for detailed Volt patterns and documentation.
## Basic Usage
Create components with `{{ $assist->artisanCommand('make:volt [name] [--test] [--pest]') }}`.
Important: Check existing Volt components to determine if they use functional or class-based style before creating new ones.
### Functional Components
@boostsnippet("Volt Functional Component", "php")
@@volt
<?php
use function Livewire\Volt\{state, computed};
state(['count' => 0]);
$increment = fn () => $this->count++;
$double = computed(fn () => $this->count * 2);
?>
<div>
<h1>Count: @{{ $count }} (Double: @{{ $this->double }})</h1>
<button wire:click="increment">+</button>
</div>

### Class-Based Components
@boostsnippet("Volt Class-based Component", "php")
use Livewire\Volt\Component;
new class extends Component {
public int $count = 0;
public function increment(): void
{
$this->count++;
}
} ?>
<div>
<h1>@{{ $count }}</h1>
<button wire:click="increment">+</button>
</div>
@endboostsnippet
## Testing
Tests go in existing Volt test directory or `tests/Feature/Volt`:
@boostsnippet("Volt Test Example", "php")
use Livewire\Volt\Volt;
test('counter increments', function () {
Volt::test('counter')
->assertSee('Count: 0')
->call('increment')
->assertSee('Count: 1');
});
@endboostsnippet
## Verification
1. Check existing components for functional vs class-based style
2. Test component with `Volt::test()`
## Common Pitfalls
- Not checking existing style (functional vs class-based) before creating
- Forgetting `@volt` directive wrapper
- Missing `--test` or `--pest` flag when tests are needed
