**[Community Picks](https://daily.dev/sources/community)** · [@valerione](https://daily.dev/valerione) · 7 min read · 52 upvotes · 2 comments

## Summary

Livewire is a Composer package for Laravel that allows the development of reactive web applications without the need for a dedicated JavaScript framework like Vue or React. It works by having a PHP class and a Blade template per component, with interactions handled via AJAX calls to the server. Installation is straightforward, requiring just a few Blade directives and a single Composer command. The package enables seamless integration with other Laravel features, making it a valuable tool for Laravel developers looking to maintain a unified codebase.

> Man, I love how Livewire evolved over the years. Now I am using Next.js for the frontend, but I would really give it another try now with all the amazing features introduced.
