Ever wanted to build interactive dashboards without wrestling with JavaScript frameworks? Laravel Livewire makes it possible to create fully dynamic interfaces using only PHP. In this episode of Laravel In Practice, I'll show you how to transform a static reporting dashboard into an interactive, real-time interface without writing a single line of JavaScript.
You'll learn how to set up Livewire 3, create dashboard components, and implement interactive date range filtering with URL persistence. We'll integrate Flux UI components for beautiful, professional interfaces and handle pagination seamlessly. You'll see how to display key analytics like total revenue, total orders, average order values, and unique customer counts, all updating dynamically as users interact with the dashboard.
We'll build the complete dashboard from scratch, connecting it to the Order model and reporting system we created in Series 1. By leveraging Livewire's reactive properties and Flux UI's zero-dependency components, you'll have a production-ready dashboard that feels modern and responsive.
This episode launches our Real-Time Analytics Dashboard series in Laravel In Practice. Next up, we'll add beautiful charts with Chart.js and implement WebSocket support for live data updates as orders come in.
