If you haven't used Laravel Livewire or you only know of how it's cousins work in the Rails or Phoenix side of the world, you might not actually know how Laravel Livewire works behind the scenes. I watched a ‪@t3dotgg‬ recently where he mentioned something about Livewire that made me want to make this video. So here's three things that Laravel Livewire is not. Because it's easy to know when to use something when you know when to NOT use the same thing. Let's take a look.
