In this episode, we're focusing on making our import progress UI feel much more dynamic and responsive. First, we hook things up so whenever you hit the import button, the UI immediately updates to show the new import in the list, without needing to reload the page. This involves setting up a Livewire listener and using the refresh
method, ensuring our component always reflects the latest data right after an import is triggered.
Once we've got that working, we move on to making sure the UI also shows progress updates as they're happening. Here, we introduce Livewire polling, setting our component to auto-refresh every second (or whatever interval works for you). To optimize things a bit, we only enable polling when the user actually has the import UI visible—no need to hammer the server if no one's watching!
Finally, we see it all come together: after starting the queue, the import progress updates in real-time, and once everything is done, the UI updates to remove the completed import job from the list. Now, our users see up-to-date import information without any manual refreshes or delays!
