Ever wanted to give full-stack JS a try, but don't know where to start? AdonisJS is JS framework, inspired by Laravel. It has a similar ORM, similar routing, and all the other bits you'd expect to use in a Laravel app. In this talk, we'll review the differences and similarities between the two. We'll also learn about the native async/await functionality you can use, to increase the number of users your site can support.
You don't need to know anything about AdonisJS to attend this talk, but a familiarity with Laravel will be useful.
AdonisJS is the perfect stepping-off point, for developers familiar with Laravel and wanting to try their hand at full-stack JS development. This talk exposes that, and contrasts the two. Attendees will get a firm understanding of what's possible, using AdonisJS; as well as how to get going with it.
Topics include:
- Brief introduction to server-side JS
- Getting started with Adonis
- Routing
- Views (includes template syntax)
- Eloquent vs. Lucid
- Documentation
- Demo
- Hosting (with Digital Ocean and Laravel Forge, at a high level)
