Laravel 12 Starter Kits Explained: React, Vue and Livewire
Blog post from Vonage
Laravel 12 offers modernized starter kits that simplify the process of building new projects by providing pre-made solutions for routes, controllers, authentication, and front-end scaffolding. These kits support React and Vue for those preferring component-based or traditional JavaScript approaches, respectively, while Livewire offers a more PHP-centric option with Blade templates. Each kit integrates with Inertia.js to facilitate seamless communication between Laravel's backend and the interactive front-end, eliminating the need for custom APIs. They include features like TypeScript for type safety, TailwindCSS for styling, and reusable UI components, allowing developers to create responsive and dynamic interfaces efficiently. The starter kits also provide flexible layout options, enabling developers to switch between sidebar and header layouts or modify authentication page styles easily. Whether opting for highly interactive single-page applications or simpler PHP-based frameworks, these kits offer a solid foundation with reusable components and modular layouts, making it easier to experiment with different designs without rewriting code.
