Our stack of tools in web development

Today, we decided to tell you more about our main stack: React, React Native, and Laravel, and why we use them!

Frontend development is the part of development responsible for creating the user interface and interacting with users. For this purpose, we use the React framework—one of the most popular JavaScript libraries. It is based on an approach where the user interface is broken down into small independent components, each of which can be reused.

One of the main advantages of React is its virtual DOM model (Virtual DOM), which allows efficient updating of only the changed parts of the interface, leading to improved performance.

Advantages of React:

• Reactivity

Thanks to the use of Virtual DOM and an effective component update mechanism, React ensures responsiveness and smooth operation of the interface, which is especially important for complex and dynamic products.

• Modularity

Breaking down the user interface into components makes it easy to scale and reuse code. This approach simplifies maintenance and development, as well as helps create a clear and easily readable project architecture.

• Large Community

React has a huge community of developers who actively share their experiences and create numerous useful libraries and tools. This provides extensive documentation, ready-made solutions, and support in case any issues arise.

How does the frontend work?

Backend is the server-side part of a product that handles requests from clients, interacts with databases, and provides necessary data and functionality.
We use the Laravel framework, based on the PHP programming language, because it offers powerful and elegant tools for developing server-side logic.

Advantages of Laravel:

• Ease of Use

It features simple and understandable syntax, making application development and maintenance easier. It also offers many pre-built components and libraries that significantly speed up the development process.

• Security

Provides tools to ensure application security, including protection against CSRF (cross-site request forgery) attacks, password encryption, and prevention of SQL injection. This enables developers to build reliable and secure web applications.

• Scalability

Thanks to Laravel's modular structure and flexibility, products built on this platform are easily scalable as business needs grow. Additionally, it supports caching and task queues, which contribute to improving application performance and reliability.

How does the backend work?

For mobile development, we use React Native—a framework based on React but designed for building cross-platform mobile apps.

It allows us to use the same codebase for different platforms, simplifying and accelerating app development. As a result, you can make your app available for both iPhones and Android devices.


This library enables us to:

• Cross-Platform Development

One of the key benefits is the ability to develop apps that work correctly on both iOS and Android using a shared codebase.

• Rapid Development

The component-based approach and ready-to-use foundation accelerate the development process, while hot reloading allows instant previewing of changes in the app.

• Native Look and Feel

Apps created with React Native look and behave like true native apps since they utilize native components.


Integration Features of Laravel in Mobile Development

Additionally, Laravel can be integrated with mobile development to provide additional benefits:

• API Development

One common scenario for integrating Laravel with React Native is by creating an API based on Laravel, which will serve the mobile app. The app can easily interact with these APIs, providing access to server data and functionality.

• Authentication and Security

Laravel has powerful tools for authenticating and securing web applications. When integrated with a mobile app via API, these features can be used to secure the mobile application as well.

• Notification Delivery

Offers convenient methods for sending notifications through various channels such as email, SMS, etc. This can be useful for mobile apps to notify users about important events or actions.

• Database Management

Provides a convenient and intuitive way to manage databases. It can be utilized to handle data used in the mobile application and ensure synchronization with the server.

How do we develop mobile apps?

By combining React, React Native, and Laravel in our toolset, we create a powerful combination for developing modern products. To facilitate interaction between them, we use APIs. React can send HTTP requests to the API to exchange data. An API built using Laravel provides endpoints for handling requests, interacting with the database, and executing business logic.

This combination ensures a clear separation of responsibilities between the frontend and backend, allowing each part of the product to be developed and scaled independently.
