Which language is better and easier to learn to create a dashboard?

I want to create a dashboard for my business and make life easier for my clients. My question is: how and which tools to use to connect the front end to the backend. What else I have experience for now is with HTML, CSS and JS. I intend to start studying JSON. Is it better and easier to create using PHP, Angular, React, Laraval, etc ...?

Is it possible using JS only?

Some of PHP is required right?
In some aspects the dashboards needs to do instructions in these language?

It doesn't necessarily need to be in PHP. The layout that I'll use is all in HTML / CSS, I'll implement some functions with jQuery. I don't know anything about ReactJS, Angular, etc ... But if it's the best way to do I do my best to learn :lol:

Generally speaking, HTML/CSS/JS (and JS frameworks like Angular, React, etc.) are used on the front-end & interfaces, whereas PHP/Python/Ruby/etc. (and Laravel, since it's a PHP framework) are used server-side on the back end.

There's exceptions though.. if you want to try to use JS only, take a look at Node.js and the frameworks based on it since Node.js was designed for being able to use JS on the back-end... Here's a list of 10 Node.js frameworks to get ya started.

Good luck

Hmmm, thanks for the guidance on how to get started! I'll read the link indicated tomorrow, I have already seen something or other of node.js and I found it very interesting. In your opinion, would it be better to use PHP or a node.js framework?

You can start with any php framework : Laravel / Yii / CodeIgniter
Nodejs/React is good for you

it is a bigger skill, long time for study

you can create a dashboard with pure php , php framework or any other server side language. you can make a api that will make your jobs easy and then create a dashboard with any js framework especially my advice is vuejs. Dashboard system needs only crud operations as you know. so if you have api system you don't need server side language for create dashboard you can make it with client side frameworks.

PHP is very easy and will make dashboard development a walk in the park.
If you want to make it fancy and more user interactive maybe throw in some javascript.

Thank's guys. I'll give a better search in Laravel, Nodejs and PHP, seem more interesting to learn. I want to see if I make an MVP application. I'll also take a look at what @enslave12 said, about the API to make my work easier. Great Christmas to everyone !!
