Livewire Isn't Actually "Live"Category: Laravel, PHP
When you use a Livewire component on a page in your app, it FEELS as if your browser has a LIVE connection to that component on the server. If a user clicks a button that changes a property in your component, everything updates as if there really is a “live” wire.
Behind the scenes, on the server, Livewire “hydrates” or un-freezes your PHP component and allows you to use it as if it’s been running on the server the entire time.
It is does this by reducing those properties down to plain JSON when the component is “frozen” and then re-instantiating the object when the component is “un-frozen”.
The best way to understand this functionality is to open up your browser’s devtools while using Livewire and inspect the XHR (ajax) request/response payloads.
