Comment by Fakiolas Marios on "What JavaScript framework is best for me as a Laravel developer?"

AngularJS and VueJS could be used nicely with Laravel. You have 2 options. The first one is to use Laravel as an API and create a SPA. The second one is to use Laravel's routing system and use JS in places where you need some nice UI interactions like forms processing etc. Of course AngularJS has a stiffer learning curve but a greater community, online tutorials, many more learning resources etc. On the contrary with VueJS you can write quite faster a functional block of code but there are by far fewer resources to search things. For sure VueJS has a smooth documentation which helps really a lot. I am using AngularJS because of my 4-5 years experience there so it is just a matter of greater familiarity i guess. But VueJS is a really cool option and maybe a faster way to start building some cool ui features in comparison with AngularJS since you consider yourself quite inexperienced with both of them.

wow great. Am currently using Angular but i have encounted a view rendering with angular error and i was thinking of switching to a different javascript framework. The error has taken me 3 days but am still not able to fix. I have posted it in forums but haven't gotten any good answer yet.

Remember to use @{{ }} for js and {{ }} for php. You could also use $interpolateProvider to use sth like <% %> for your js (angularjs-recipes.com/recipes/vA1638/1/how-can-i-…).

@Fakiolas Marios, my error is on how to render the page not the curly braces. i cannot render the angular page in laravel

This is solid! I've done both routes. I've become fond of using Vue to sprinkle in interactions on top of Laravel's routing and controls.

I've used Laravel for an API in pair with an Angular SPA and it worked out very well.

At the end of the day it all depends what you are trying to build.

@BillGastes sure you can. You can just put all your AngularJS routing in your Laravel's home route /. Then for your API calls use a prefix for your endpoints like api/users etc

@fakiolinho, Thank you very much.
