I think you are comparing apples to bananas. Laravel is one thing, Angular is another. One is for backend (server-side software) and the other is for frontend (client-side software). For instance, you can't access databases directly from Angular, you need a backend to do that. On the other hand, you can't manipulate the DOM on the fly using Laravel, since it just generates HTML and sends it to the client. But, as you already know, they can be used together, since Laravel can generate HTML with angular shipped together. A more reasonable comparison would be Laravel vs Rails or Angular vs React.

Hi James, I hope you are well. Today I had a problem testing flow + react with Jest. I was trying to test an invalid input in component's Props (In that case, I was testing a component with "color" props as a number, which should call "console.error" with something), although I used this props in the render function like "this.props.color.replace(...)". My code threw an exception about color don't have a replace function and don't even check type before. I tried to use flow-runtime in babel without success. Do you suggest anything?
