Pairing Vue 3 with a Laravel backend

One of the setups I reach for often is a Laravel API paired with a Vue 3 and TypeScript frontend. A few things that consistently pay off:

  • Typed API responses. Generating or hand-writing TypeScript types for Laravel API resources keeps the frontend honest about what the backend actually returns.
  • Composition API for shared logic. Composables make it easy to reuse data-fetching and form-handling logic across components.
  • Keep Blade and Vue boundaries clear. Whether Vue is mounted on a few islands of a Blade app or driving a full SPA, being explicit about where each one owns the DOM avoids a lot of bugs.

This is the kind of stack I use for client projects, alongside CMS work in WordPress and Joomla when that's the better fit for the job.
