<?php
   
namespace App\Models;
   
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
   
class State extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
   
    protected $fillable = ['name'];
}

Then visit app/Models/ directory and open city.php file and add the following code into it:

<?php
   
namespace App\Models;
   
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
   
class City extends Model

    use HasFactory;
   
    protected $fillable = ['state_id', 'name'];
}

php artisan migrate

Step 5: Install Livewire Package

In this step, you need to install livewire package to your laravel project using the following command:

app/Http/Livewire/Statecitydropdown.php

resources/views/livewire/statecitydropdown.blade.php

Now, Navigate to app/Http/Livewire folder and open Statecitydropdown.php file. Then add the following code into your Statecitydropdown.php file:

<?php
   
namespace App\Http\Livewire;
   
use Livewire\Component;
use App\Models\City;
use App\Models\State;
   
class Statecitydropdown extends Component
{
    public $states;
    public $cities;
   
    public $selectedState = NULL;
   
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function mount()
    {
        $this->states = State::all();
        $this->cities = collect();
    }
   
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function render()
    {
        return view('livewire.statecitydropdown')->extends('layouts.app');
    }
   
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function updatedSelectedState($state)
    {
        if (!is_null($state)) {
            $this->cities = City::where('state_id', $state)->get();
        }
    }
     
}

<div>
    <h1>Laravel Livewire Dependant Dropdown - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>

                @foreach($states as $state)
                    <option value="{{ $state->id }}">{{ $state->name }}</option>
                @endforeach
            </select>
        </div>
    </div>
   
    @if (!is_null($selectedState))
        <div class="form-group row">
            <label for="city" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">City</label>
   
            <div class="col-md-6">
