Laravel vs React

[ajlive]

one min silence for those who thinks php is a dead language..

proud to be a php laravel developer for a decade

As a non-native English speaker, I learn new words every time I watch your videos!

Today I learnt the words: remiss and dichotomy. :)

Thank you Aaron! Informative video as usual.

I was an early adopter of the Inertia with React and I can really enjoy seeing this combo gaining traction again these days.

This is the best explanation I've seen for how the different layers (back end, network, front end) work together and which frameworks cover which parts.

Also, love how you visualized where Livewire sits in all of this. Really well done! Thank you.

Started a Laravel/Inertia/Vue project this week. I am still very much slower in writing php, but you can just 'feel' how powerful this stack is.

I love the take of "let's stop making everything X vs Y and instead use X and Y when appropriate"

[nenmeet]

For a PHP developer like me who is primarily backend person; livewire is awesome! It's like writing php for front-end.

I'm sold, following you from planetscale though i haven't used planetscale ever.

This is so great! You are such a good advocate for PHP. Please keep doing what you're doing! Just let people use what works for them.

I've had a bit of JS burnout lately and so I've gone back to using PHP but I've gone ultra minimalist this time with zero JS on the front-end and even using a classless CSS framework that is literally just a "drop-in and forget" solution to styling.

I'm using good ol' Smarty to render HTML in PHP and the resulting HTML (with zero JS and zero CSS classes) is just so incredibly pure and simple.

Admittedly, you do sacrifice A LOT by not having any JS on the front-end but the simplicity is so freeing! I'm getting features done faster than I ever have before. It's awesome!

As someone who is not a professional developer (I know some JS and a little bit of React), this is such a great overview of all the different parts that make up web app development! Like pieces of a puzzle coming together. Thank you Aaron!

With Arms Wide Open, Under ... Laravel. Welcome to this place, I'll show you everything - Aaron's Ringtone

Using the term "center-stack framework" to describe recent JS frameworks is so good. I've been writing a lot of SvelteKit recently and wondered why the backend functionality seemed so sparse, even though it's often called full-stack. Definitely looking into Laravel for my next project.

Gosh this is such a good video. The intro made me laugh 😂

This is the content I’m here for!

[JeremyAndersonBoise]

I heard there was drama on xitter about react vs Laravel. And now this! Thanks for talking sense, Aaron

[valid_]

Dev with >15 years experience. Your content is refreshing man. Both the positivity but also technical knowledge is greatly appreciated. You’re getting me a ton more interested in php and laravel. I only knew PHP from old Zend days… insane updates. Quickest tech YTer subscribe in awhile 🎉

[atalocke]

Another great video! I’ve been using your videos to learn Laravel and your videos have made growing my application’s features much easier.

[lafanter]

Great video! It makes it very very easy to understand the whole eco system and describe what is what, where it belongs and what's it's role it for someone like me who is new and doesn't know what all these technologies are.

Hey Aaron, I've been using Inertia for a few months now, and I gotta say it's a joy to work with. It's really minimal in a sense that it gives you the basic Laravel/React bridge + some pretty nice utility components, such as InertiaLink. It doesn't make you dependent on itself, like a framework would, so you're still writing React/Vue/Svelte code.

[kizunaastin]

inertia js is the key, Laravel solid backend with queues, validation, authentication, MVC, support multiple db connection it could be mysql and mongodb or etc

[nicodemosgomes]

I think this video really necessary today. I use Laravel 9 years already and started using React in the v15, and I see a huge hate on the Laravel community about React that I can't understand. Laravel is the most amazing framework in my opinion and I think that the power of the interaction and management of React complements this ecosystem so well.
