Which is the best option if I create an e-commerce website with millions of products. Vue or Livewire? Or do I have to use the booth? With Paypal and Stripe payment. And add items in the basket etc...
My all template in HTML blade file now.
@stefancoding Why did you put “API” in the thread title, and then mention nothing about APIs in the actual question…?
If building an e-commerce project, build it with traditional controllers and Blade views first, and then add progressive enhancement using JavaScript. You don’t want any part of your site being unusable because of a flake connection.
I think you should spend your time looking at database design first instead of what frontend stack to use. In reality that does not matter as much as that the website is performant. Millions of products * variations is going to require a good database design first.
Once that is done, you can create a test page in each (vue and livewire) and see how it is to work with and how it performs.
@Sinnbeck Database is already in work now. I have to create a new front end with a new admin panel with an old database. So the database structure is set with all relations.
@stefancoding Then give each one a try and see what you like best. Pick the one that you feel works the best and you get the best results with. It is better to spend a day testing each now than to pick the wrong one and realize in 3 weeks.
