Question 1

How do I install and use laravel-jetstream-react CLI?

Accepted Answer

First, scaffold a new Laravel app with Jetstream using the Vue stack via Composer commands, then run 'npx laravel-jetstream-react@latest install' with optional flags for teams, SSR, and dark mode. This automates the conversion to React components in minutes.

Question 2

Laravel Jetstream React vs Laravel Breeze React: which should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Laravel Breeze is recommended by this tool's author for new projects as it's first-party and actively maintained. Use this CLI only if you specifically need Jetstream's extra features like teams, but be aware of its stagnant development compared to Breeze.

Question 3

Does laravel-jetstream-react work with TypeScript?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it provides TypeScript-ready helpers such as useRoute and useTypedPage hooks for type-safe routing and page props. You can integrate these into your React components to enhance development with Inertia.js in a Laravel setup.

Question 4

Can I convert an existing Jetstream Vue project to React with this tool?

Accepted Answer

No, the CLI only works on fresh Laravel Jetstream installations without modifications. For existing projects, you'll need manual conversion or other methods, as the tool assumes a clean slate to avoid conflicts.

Question 5

What are the alternatives for React authentication in Laravel?

Accepted Answer

Alternatives include Laravel Breeze with its first-party React stack, or custom builds using Inertia.js with React. For API-driven apps, Laravel Sanctum or Passport can pair with a separate React frontend, though they lack Jetstream's UI components.

Question 6

How to handle password confirmation modals in React with Jetstream?

Accepted Answer

Use the included <ConfirmsPassword /> component by wrapping action-triggering elements; it manages the modal logic and checks for recent confirmations based on Laravel's config, replicating Jetstream's security flow seamlessly.

Question 7

Does this support server-side rendering with React?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports SSR if you use the --ssr flag during installation, ensuring React components are rendered on the server for better performance and SEO, matching Jetstream's original Vue implementation.
