Week 472

Livewire Volt and Laravel Folio

The big two releases this week were Livewire Volt and Laravel Folio. Both were announced last week at Laracon and are designed to pair well together but not a required pairing. Volt is a single-page Livewire component, and Folio gives you automatic page routing.

What I find interesting in these two releases is what this will allow. Starting with Folio, in the past, if you wanted a simple static website, someone might reach for a JavaScript solution like Next.js or the like. With Folio, these same people will be able to install Laravel Herd, create a new Laravel app, add some pages, and that's it. Ready to deploy! Another bonus is almost every host in the world supports PHP.

Now some people don't like this direction. Saying it'll lead to terrible apps when some developer inserts 1400 lines of php in a blade file. Sure, that might happen, but it can happen now, and it's not something anyone I know would recommend. Plus, if you think that only happens in PHP land, I've got some news for you.

The beauty of this is that now Laravel opens itself up to a whole new group of people that might otherwise say no to PHP and reach for another solution. It's opening the doors for everyone. The more people using PHP, the better for consultants looking for work, the better for the community, and the better for developers looking for jobs. Everything feeds off everything else, and onboarding new developers is a net positive in my book.
