WHAT I LIKE MOST ABOUT LARAVEL (LIVEWIRE) wire:click

▶

I want to tell you what I like most about Laravel in general, although, I point out Livewire but for me, even though it is the best thing about Laravel, it is simply this:

wire:click="selectCategodyToDelete({{ $c }})"

For me, there's nothing that surpasses this. Why do I mean this? I also mentioned this a bit in another video, but what are we doing here? What does the previous code mean? Remember, it would be a client-side file. I know it's PHP, but remember that the final rendering is going to be a view. That's transparent to us. That's the final rendering when consumed from the page. In this case, it's a list. It's going to be something like what we have here, just like a pure HTML list. HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. That's what the browser understands. But

What are we doing here? I find it so fascinating. Basically, remember that this is a method we have on the server:

function selectCategodyToDelete(Category $category){
    $this->categoryToDelete = $category;
}

That is, directly, and that's the word here: directly, we're calling a server method.

In other frameworks, or without Livewire, we have to create the route, controller, and a request using Axios or Fetch to simulate the integration we have with Livewire:

wire:click="selectCategodyToDelete({{ $c }})"

Livewire events the key

Of course, with wire click I mean events in general, like submit, it's the same but what changes is the event. I mention the click event since it's the most generic and used, but there are others like submit, change... that you can look up in the official documentation.
