Livewire is a Laravel full-stack framework that allows the creation of dynamic interfaces straightforwardly without having to leave the Laravel environment or using the JavaScript frontend frameworks.
This book takes you through the Laravel-Livewire stack in a beginner-friendly way that requires no prior knowledge of Livewire or how it integrates into Laravel. The first part of the book will familiarize you with the theoretical aspects of Livewire, including topics like working with Livewire components, form validation, handling files, handling requests, and integrating Livewire with AlpineJS, among others. The second part of the book is practical, and this is where you’ll build a real-world application—a car rental system, putting into practice the concepts you learned in the first part of the book. You’ll go from setting up the PHP development environment to installing the Laravel application, integrating Livewire, and finally developing your application.
By the end of this book, you’ll have gained advanced skills to develop Livewire applications with ease, learned the theoretical aspects of Livewire, and put the concepts into practice by building an application. You’ll also be able to handle file uploads and downloads and be well-acquainted with Livewire concepts.
