Laravel Echo is a JavaScript/TypeScript library that makes it painless to subscribe to channels and listen for events broadcast by Laravel over WebSockets. It integrates with broadcasting backends such as Laravel Reverb, Pusher, and Ably to build realtime, live-updating user interfaces.

Use cases

• subscribe to websocket channels in a Laravel app
• listen for server-side Laravel events in the browser
• build live-updating UIs with realtime events
• integrate Pusher or Ably with Laravel broadcasting
• use Laravel Reverb from a JavaScript client
• broadcast notifications to authenticated users in realtime

When to choose

• you have a Laravel backend broadcasting events over WebSockets
• you want a maintained official client for Reverb, Pusher, or Ably
• you need private/presence channel support with Laravel auth

When to avoid

• your backend is not Laravel and you don't follow its broadcasting conventions
• you only need raw WebSocket connections without event broadcasting
• you use a different realtime stack like Socket.IO directly
