Question 1

How to change the JavaScript namespace in PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer?

Accepted Answer

Publish the config file with php artisan vendor:publish, update the js_namespace key in config/javascript.php to your desired namespace, and run php artisan config:clear to apply changes.

Question 2

PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer or Laravel's @json directive – which is better?

Accepted Answer

Use PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer for advanced features like namespacing and view binding across multiple views; @json is simpler for one-off data embedding in Blade templates.

Question 3

Can PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer work with Vue.js or React?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it's often redundant as these frameworks typically fetch data via APIs. It can pass initial state, but for dynamic apps, API calls are more efficient.

Question 4

How to pass an Eloquent collection to JavaScript using this package?

Accepted Answer

Call JavaScript::put in your controller with the collection; it automatically JSON-encodes it, making the data accessible in your JavaScript namespace.

Question 5

Does PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer support use outside Laravel?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but you must implement the ViewBinder interface to handle JavaScript insertion, as detailed in the README for custom framework integration.

Question 6

What are the performance impacts of using this package?

Accepted Answer

It adds inline scripts to HTML, increasing page load size. For large datasets, consider breaking data into chunks or using AJAX to avoid bloated responses.
