I am curious why folks would use a php framework such as Laravel over Wappler or vice versa? Would some consider Wappler a framework of sorts for Node.js or PHP? Thanks for any insight.
These are two very different platforms.
Laravel is a full stack PHP framework
Wappler is a glorified code editor.

So what kind of functions does Lavarel have which Wappler doesn’t?
Wappler is a frontend and backend framework paired with a desktop app that facilitates building apps based on said framework.

JonL, that is how I see wappler as well. To me someone with very very little knowledge of coding it seemed to me that Wappler is a framework of its own with a GUI application to help develop code using the Wappler framework.
Again this is someone with very little knowledge of coding itself.

@Antony, I will be honest I am not real sure I think both of them have the same features or features that can be added via custom coding just a different way to build applications. again I think

I think that the dmx libraries in Wappler make it more than a glorified code editor. Unless you consider those party of the “glory”.

I have tried to simplify my response when I say that it is a glorified code editor. Of course Wappler is very much more that that. But to compare Laravel with Wappler is to compare apples with … whatever. There is no comparison as you would know.
Let me put it an other way, I can create a Laravel type framework using Wappler. But it is not possible to create Wappler using Laravel.
Which brings me to wonder: Which code editor is used to develop Wappler? Could it be Wappler?
