Welcome to the course! In this intro episode, I’ll give you a quick overview of what you’ll learn and the practical project we’ll be building together.
Whether you’re brand new to Livewire or have just tinkered with it, this course is designed to help you get comfortable actually building with Livewire. We’re focusing on a hands-on approach using a real project, so you'll gain practical experience.
We’ll be creating a book repository app where you can add books, search for them, and manage notes. Along the way, I’ll show you important Livewire features like validation, real-time updates (like autosaving notes), editing states, and search filtering. You’ll see how these core features come together in a typical workflow you’ll use all the time.
This episode walks you through the demo app — adding a book, handling validation, adding and autosaving notes, editing book details, and filtering/searching your collection.
By the end of this course, you’ll be confident enough to dive into building your own Livewire components.
Next up, we’ll set up a fresh Laravel project and install Livewire to get going!
