# Laravel Wayfinder: End-to-End Type Safety for PHP and TypeScript

**[Laravel](https://daily.dev/sources/laravel)** · 8 min read · 50 upvotes · 4 comments

## Summary

Laravel Wayfinder is a new open-source tool that automatically generates TypeScript types from Laravel applications, providing end-to-end type safety between PHP backends and TypeScript frontends. Built on two foundational libraries (Surveyor for static analysis and Ranger for data transformation), Wayfinder generates type-safe route helpers, model attributes, validation rules, broadcast events, enums, and environment variables. It can automatically sync types across separate repositories via GitHub Actions and pull requests. The next-generation version is currently in public beta, with the stable route-generation version already included in Laravel Starter Kits.

> This is a fantastic tool for full-stack Laravel developers. Automating type safety between PHP and TypeScript eliminates a major source of errors and significantly streamlines the development workflow. The seamless integration and automated syncing across repositories make it a compelling addition to any Laravel+TypeScript project.

> I've just started using Wayfinder on a side-project, and it makes me weep over how much better my main project would be if I'd started using it sooner...
