Did you know Vue & React are entirely written in Typescript? Javascript has become integral to any PHP developer with modern frameworks like React & Vue. But JS doesn't have type safety. Voila! Here comes Typescript. We will build a small app from scratch using Laravel & React/Vue in Typescript.

Most PHP developers are comfortable writing JavaScript. However, Typescript is still seen with suspicion of introducing new complexity. While it may look like that when you first read some TS code, it is far from reality. TS brings a lot of type-safety features to your frontend code, which helps avoid potholes when working with a large team. This talk aims to make Typescript approachable for PHP devs by creating a small, albeit real-world application and writing everything from scratch in TS with a front-end framework.
