Laravel Jetstream: First Look

Zubair Mohsin on August 29, 2020

What is Laravel Jetstream? It is a brand new Scaffolding package for your Laravel 8 projects. It goes beyond Authentication Scaffolding....

Personally I can't wait for the release of Jetstream. Creating this every time is so much work and since it is compatible with Livewire makes it so much better. I was really surprised when I watched the Laracon stream. Also looking forward how easy it will be to extend the features

My issue with it is that it’s tied to Tailwind, What if I don’t want to use tailwind css. What if I prefer bootstrap or .....

With Tailwind UI being released primarily as a subscription service I won’t be using it.

So what’s the alternative, convert to Tailwind css or go without the functionality?

Well, if you need all this cool functionality, converting to TailwindCSS is the only option.
If you only need Authentication scaffolding with Bootstrap, you can still use "laravel/ui" package.

With Jetstream being open source, I think it's only matter of time before someone makes a package for Jetstream and Bootstrap too.

Personally I feel it should have been a built in option. Like many Laravel dev's I'm already productive with bootstrap, and looking forward to V5. My frustration is partly due as I'm about to starts a new project which was going to be in Laravel 8, and now I'm not sure. Don't really want to use a deprecated UI package and I'm not going to switch to Tailwind, Might just go with Vue and Adonis ?

Livewire looks good though, I could see me using that ;)

In their github repo, the link to documentation is missing
