Laravel Wayfinder is a Composer package plus Vite plugin that generates fully-typed, importable TypeScript functions from Laravel controllers and routes. It lets frontend code call Laravel endpoints like regular functions without hardcoding URLs or manually syncing route changes.

Use cases

• generate typed TypeScript functions for Laravel routes
• call Laravel backend endpoints from a TypeScript frontend without hardcoding URLs
• keep frontend route links in sync with backend route changes automatically
• avoid guessing route parameters when linking to Laravel controllers
• integrate Laravel routes into a Vite build pipeline
• replace manually maintained API client files in a Laravel + Inertia app

When to choose

• you build a Laravel app with a TypeScript frontend (Inertia, Vue, React) and want type-safe route handling
• you are tired of hardcoding URLs and manually updating frontend links after backend route changes
• you want route definitions generated automatically during Vite builds and dev server runs

When to avoid

• your frontend is not TypeScript-based
• you need a stable v1 API — Wayfinder is in beta and its API may change
• you do not use Vite or are unwilling to run a generation step in your build
