Laracasts Series

Blaze Deep-Dive

Blade components are slow. Really slow. At scale, they quietly become the biggest bottleneck in your Laravel application. We discovered this while trying to make Flux as fast as possible, and the result is Blaze: a package that fundamentally rethinks how Blade components are compiled and rendered. With multiple levels of optimization, Blaze can shave hundreds of milliseconds off a page load, making Blade rendering up to 25x faster in some cases.In this series, we'll install it, benchmark it, build a toy version from scratch so you truly understand how it works, and then master every directive and edge case so you can squeeze maximum performance out of your own apps.

Customizing Filament For User-Facing Apps

With Shruti Balasa

In this series, we'll build a real, user-facing app called Booknest using Laravel and Filament. We'll begin with a fresh install and begin pushing Filament beyond the usual "internal admin only" setup that you typically see. It's capable of so much more.

Filament 5 in Depth

With Kevin McKee

Filament's powers have increased exponentially. Now at version 5, it's more powerful and capable than ever. In this series, we'll build a practical Roadmap app from scratch, using Filament for the admin panel and Livewire for the public-facing side.Along the way, we'll cover panel configuration, enum-driven UI, strict authorization with policies, and newer form inputs like ToggleButtons, Sliders, and the TipTap-powered RichEditor. By the end, you'll have a full-featured app and a solid handle on everything new in Filament.

Build Native Apps With PHP

With Simon Hamp

Welcome to my CreatorSeries! I’m Simon, and in this series we’re going to learn about NativePHP and use it to build true native applications for desktop and mobile. We're not talking about web apps accessed through the browser. Your users will be able to install directly on their devices. This is a big leap forward for the PHP ecosystem, and while it’s a real paradigm shift from the way we normally build with PHP and Laravel, we’ve worked hard to keep it familiar and approachable. So grab a warm drink, get comfortable, and let's start building!

Everything New in Livewire 4

With Caleb Porzio

Livewire 4 is a major release, and it's packed with features you're going to love. View-based components keep your PHP and Blade together in one file. Islands let you create isolated, independently-updating regions without the overhead of nested components. New directives like wire:sort tackle big things with minimal code. And a powerful JavaScript interceptor system gives you fine-grained control over every request.Whether you're upgrading an existing app or starting fresh, this series will walk you through everything new, from the fundamentals to the advanced stuff. Let's dig in.

The Laravel Workshop

With Instructor Team

Buckle up, this is the workshop you've been waiting for! In fact, this course is such a massive undertaking to the point that it required three Laracasts instructors. Join Jeffrey Way, Simon Vrachliotis, and Jeremy McPeak as we build a fictional X-like platform, called Pixl, entirely from scratch!Each instructor is responsible for one piece of the puzzle. Simon will tackle the static HTML and CSS build. Then Jeremy will convert it into a traditional and dynamic Laravel application. Finally, Jeffrey will demonstrate how to transform a server-side app into a full SPA. Let's go!

Eloquent Relationships Deep Dive

With Jeremy McPeak

In this series, we'll unlock the full power of Eloquent relationships, from the basics of hasOne and belongsToMany to polymorphic magic and performance tuning.

The TALL Developer

With Shruti Balasa

In this course, you'll learn how to build full-stack web applications using the TALL stack — Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, Laravel, and Livewire. These four tools work incredibly well together and will help you construct modern, interactive websites without writing too much JavaScript. To illustrate these tools, let's build a simple, yet fully functional job board application using the TALL stack.

React, The Laravel Way

With Simon Vrachliotis

In "React from Scratch", we built a "DevPups" app from scratch. Now it's time to take things further. Using that finished app as a base, you'll learn how to construct a React-powered app...the Laravel way! You'll see how we can swap out fragile external API calls for Laravel's elegant backend, add real-time "like" functionality, support file uploads, and polish up our CRUD features with proper authorization. Along the way, you'll get comfortable with Inertia.js, the perfect glue between Laravel's backend strength and React's frontend flexibility. By the end of this series, you'll have constructed a production-ready app that shows the Laravel way of working with React: fewer moving parts, cleaner architecture, and faster development.

Defensive Laravel

Let's Build a SaaS in Laravel

With Matt Stauffer

There are endless tutorials online for how to build an idealized project, based on what's easy to teach. In this course, however, we're going to walk through the real-life, actual process of building a software-as-a-service, including the mistakes and misconceptions I ran into along the way. We'll build not based on what's easy to teach, but based on the weird and often-inconvenient stuff users request!

Code-Breaking Workshop

With Jeffrey Way

When I finish up work for the day, and switch back to dad mode, my kids love to do these little "code-breaking" worksheets where each letter in a secret message is represented as a symbol. They then refer to an alphabet lookup table, and perform the translation.There's only one problem... they take me a long time to manually create from scratch on paper. So let's build a kid-friendly web app to automate the entire process!

Infinite Scrolling in Inertia

With Luke Downing

If you've used any form of social media, you'll know that they make heavy use of infinite scrolling. When you reach the end of the page, more content is automatically streamed in. Typically, this tends to be handled via a REST API, but Inertia is all about avoiding REST APIs! So, let's implement the same functionality the Inertia way.

Learn Vue 3: Step by Step

With Jeffrey Way

I've been teaching Vue for years now. In fact, way back in 2015, as part of the first ever Vue series at Laracasts, I boldly predicted that Vue was about to skyrocket in popularity. That prediction turned out to be spot on. To be fair, though, it was an easy one. You need only spend ten minutes with the framework to understand why so many swear by it.Whether you're brand new to Vue, coming over from a different framework, or simply want a refresher on the fundamentals, this new Vue 3 series is for you! We start at the beginning, and work our way up one step at a time.
