Quiz Application Tutorial – Episode 4

Welcome to the fourth episode of our Quiz Application tutorial series. In this episode, we will be focusing on installing and setting up Vue Js in our Laravel application using Inertia Js.

Prerequisites

• Laravel Installed
• Vue Js Installed
• Inertia Js Installed

Step 1: Install Vue Js with Laravel Mix

First, we need to install Vue Js into our Laravel application using Laravel Mix. In your terminal, navigate to your Laravel project and run the following command:

npm install vue

This will install the Vue Js library into your project.

Step 2: Install Inertia Js

Inertia Js is a library that allows you to use Vue Js within your Laravel application. To install Inertia Js, run the following command in your terminal:

npm install @inertiajs/inertia @inertiajs/inertia-vue @inertiajs/progress

Step 3: Set up Inertia Js in your Laravel application

Next, we need to set up Inertia Js in our Laravel application. In your main layout file (usually located in resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php), add the following script tags:


<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@inertiajs/inertia@^0.4"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@inertiajs/inertia-vue@^0.1"></script>
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@inertiajs/progress@^0.2"></script>


Step 4: Create a Vue Js component

Now that we have Inertia Js set up, we can create a Vue Js component to use within our Laravel application. Create a new file in your resources/js/components directory called Quiz.vue and add the following code:


<template>
<h1>Quiz Application</h1>
<p>This is a Vue Js component within a Laravel application using Inertia Js.</p>
</template>

<script>
export default {
// Component logic goes here
}
</script>


Step 5: Use the Vue Js component in your Laravel view

Finally, we can use our Vue Js component within a Laravel view. In your Blade file (e.g. resources/views/dashboard.blade.php), use the following code to render the Vue component:


@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
@inertia
@endsection


Conclusion

Congratulations! You have successfully installed and set up Vue Js within your Laravel application using Inertia Js. In the next episode, we will be exploring how to create and manage quizzes using Vue Js components.
