Laravel is great and has fine documentation. In my opinion, the problem arises when Laravel needs to communicate with Javascript.
I try to build booking app with jquery datepicker. I have not found a good example for this. I want to find information for some charts.js, no information. I took the book Laravel Up & Running A Framework for Building Modern PHP Apps, nothing. Why is that so?
Laravel is php framework and mainly for backend development nothing conflict with what frontend framework or javascript you use... whatever you know or learned about javascript, it should be fully compatible and applicable in laravel...
you haven't take enough time to know more about laravel....
take some time to watch laracasts free cources... there are vue, react, and chartjs series, but not sure is't free or paid subscriber....
