Larajax – AJAX for Laravel
==========================

[](#larajax--ajax-for-laravel)

 [ ![Larajax](https://github.com/larajax/larajax/raw/main/logo.png?raw=true) ](https://larajax.org)

Larajax is a small AJAX framework for Laravel that keeps interactions inside controllers and responses.

It is designed for developers who like HTML-over-the-wire patterns, but want to stay close to Laravel’s normal request → controller → response flow, without building APIs or managing frontend state.

About Larajax
-------------

[](#about-larajax)

Larajax lets you define AJAX handlers directly in Laravel controllers and trigger them from HTML using `data-request` attributes.

No API routes. No fetch wiring. No frontend state layer.

```
// One route, multiple handlers
Route::any('/profile', [ProfileController::class, 'index']);

class ProfileController extends LarajaxController
{
    // Page Action
    public function index()
    {
        return view('pages.profile');
    }

    // AJAX Handlers
    public function onSave()
    {
        request()->validate([
            'first_name' => 'required'
        ]);

        // Return targeted DOM updates
        return ajax()->update([
            '#message' => "Save complete!"
        ]);
    }

    public function onDelete()
    {
        // ...
    }
}
```

```

        Save!

```

One route can expose multiple interaction handlers without splitting logic across endpoints.

Key ideas
---------

[](#key-ideas)

- Controller-based AJAX handlers
- HTML as the source of truth
- Targeted DOM updates
- Standard Laravel validation and CSRF handling
- Optional reusable component system

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the backend package:

```
composer require larajax/larajax
```

Install the frontend helper:

```
npm install larajax
```

Then import and initialize in your JavaScript entry file:

```
import { jax } from 'larajax';
window.jax = jax;
jax.start();
```

Background
----------

[](#background)

Larajax was extracted from the AJAX framework used in [October CMS](https://github.com/octobercms) and has been running in production applications for several years.

It is now packaged as a standalone Laravel library.
