We’re scoping a project for a client that needs a new frontend marketing site. Everything about it screams WordPress – however, one of their requests is that we roll an existing document storage/retrieval app they maintain into the site, restricting access to a certain user type. The structure of the app itself is much more Laravel-esque, with several different data types that have fairly complex schema. Obviously I could hack something together with CPT and ACF, but I wanted to put out a post to see if anyone has experience with something like this and could recommend a more elegant solution. I keep coming across Corcel, which exposes WordPress data to a Laravel app, but I can’t seem to find anything working the other way around. Thanks!

Can the Laravel app expose an api endpoint? Then you could marry that into a custom wp plugin?
We’ve done similar before. Not laravel specifically, but pulling data into wp through a rest api.
