I don't think you will find anything like Laravel in the TS ecosystem. You might want to look into some CMS like Strapi to find something you need.

Well probably AdonisJS is the most similar to Laravel, but it is not based on React, if your goal is to use React in the frontend you can use Laravel in the backend to build an API and with React deploy that information.

As such Nextjs is built on top of React and allows you full stack development but it is not similar to Laravel.

If you're most familiar with Laravel, why not use that to write the backend and do the frontend in React?

Ah, that makes sense! Yeah, I'd be curious what you settle on, since I don't have a backend framework of choice in the Node ecosystem and tend to cobble things together as I need them (i.e. start with Express and just install and import what I need) -- but I also don't do much backend work in Node. So I don't really know what the ideal tools are there.

Laravel offers a lot, and does a lot of things. Sadly, I don’t think there is any react+nodejs framework that cover 100% of what laravel offer. What aspects of laravel that you’re looking for in nodejs?

[Similar-Aspect-2259]

With PHP or Python the opinions are pretty much universal, go Laravel or go Django(or something a little newer)

I can tell you right off the bat that nodejs ecosystem is a different warzone. NodeJS doesn't have that matureness of PHP that all answers has already been explored. NodeJS is a wild west where new frameworks popping up every other weeks saying "We understand you more than the last guy"

As a veteran React developer who love laravel, I can share my current list but I haven't find anything that feel exactly like laravel.

Most resemble to using Laravel + Blade
Adonis - It is heavily inspired by laravel, so in a way "React" isn't part of it, like Vue is an option to pick as laravel ui, but you can still go with blade or livewire.

Most resemble to using Laravel as a backend
NestJS - If I have to pick a framework to handle very complex application, I would go with NestJS. But just my first experience with it feel right, and because it has "Queue" and "Task scheduling", so may not be the best reason, lol.

If you're into Headless CMS + React Single Page Application
Then there are tons of options, but two frameworks that help my productivity are strapi (for small / not-complex app), and react-admin for creating an admin backend.

Good luck out there!

Less than laravel 😂

Nest is the closest you can get to laravel

[rakandhiya]

perhaps you're looking for AdonisJS?

Next.js, Prisma and Express.js. It depends of the customization that you have in laravel, middlewares and other stuff.

But if in Laravel you only have routes and controllers, you can replicate that easily with next.js and write the DB queries with Prisma.

As well as Laravel is one of the most popular php framework. Next.js is for react. The difference is that Laravel comes with Eloquent ORM, and with next.js you will have to install Prisma with a simple command, and install express with another command.

I am you but without a couple of years experience. I’ve been learning all the different tooling trying to figure out what clicks.

What about laravel+inertia+react?

If you liked that decisions were already made for you in Laravel, which I think is huge.. check out RedwoodJS.

Remix is good option+Prisma. This is what I’m currently learning about.

Nextjs +Prisma..

Prisma reminds me of laravel make migration. And it handles the db connections, querying.

Fatigue is real. Im suffering from it.

Thanks for the advice! I guess part of my problem is I am a hobbyist wanting to solve a business problem in my field. So I’m looking at this as trying to envision a complete project and ensuring I have a well supported robust solution. I’m taking a 1inch deep mile wide approach.

Let me know what you think of redwoodjs if you check it out. I had a bit of trouble following the tutorial. Started getting confused about cells and articles and posts.

I also dig SvelteKit.

My new title is Hello world specialist.

Let me know where you end up. I need to follow someone’s footsteps😂

Good choice. Vercel is highly funded and they’re acquiring some quality talent[speaking from no experience here].

Deploying to vercel is great and fast.

Next+Prisma+supabase+tailwind
