In this tutorial, we will explore how to integrate Vue.js with Laravel using Blade templates or Vue layout. The combination of Laravel, Vue.js, and Blade templates provides a powerful way to create interactive and dynamic web applications.
Laravel is a popular PHP framework that provides a robust foundation for building web applications. Vue.js is a progressive JavaScript framework that is perfect for building user interfaces and single-page applications. By combining these two technologies, developers can create modern, responsive, and interactive web applications.
Blade is the template engine that comes bundled with Laravel. It allows developers to write simple and elegant PHP code for defining the layout of web pages. In this tutorial, we will show you how to use Blade templates to include Vue components and create dynamic web pages.
Step 1: Set up a Laravel project
To get started, make sure you have a Laravel project set up on your local machine. If you don’t have one yet, you can create a new Laravel project by running the following command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel project-nameReplace project-name with the name of your project. Once the project is created, navigate to its directory and start the development server by running:
php artisan serveYou can now access your Laravel project at http://localhost:8000.
Step 2: Install Vue.js
Next, you need to install Vue.js in your Laravel project. You can do this by adding a CDN link to Vue.js in your Blade template or by using npm to install Vue.js. For this tutorial, we will use the CDN approach.
Add the following link to the <head> section of your Blade layout or template file (resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php):
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue"></script>Step 3: Create a Vue component
Now, let’s create a Vue component that we can include in our Blade template. Create a new Vue component file in the resources/js/components directory. For example, create a file named ExampleComponent.vue with the following content:
<template>
<div>
<h1>Hello, Vue!</h1>
<p>{{ message }}</p>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
message: 'This is a Vue component.'
};
}
};
</script>Step 4: Register the Vue component
Next, you need to register the Vue component with Vue.js. Open the app.js file in the resources/js directory and import the Vue component at the top of the file:
import Vue from 'vue';
import ExampleComponent from './components/ExampleComponent.vue';
Vue.component('example-component', ExampleComponent);
const app = new Vue({
el: '#app'
});Step 5: Include the Vue component in your Blade template
Finally, you need to include the Vue component in your Blade template. Open the resources/views/welcome.blade.php file and add the following code:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div id="app">
<example-component></example-component>
</div>
@endsectionThis code will render the Vue component ExampleComponent in the content section of your Blade template.
Step 6: Compile the assets
Before you can see your Vue component in action, you need to compile the assets using Laravel Mix. Run the following command in your terminal:
npm run devThis will compile the assets and make your Vue component available in your Laravel project.
Step 7: View your Vue component
Finally, open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8000. You should see the message "Hello, Vue! This is a Vue component." displayed on the page. This indicates that your Vue component is successfully integrated with your Laravel project using Blade templates.
Congratulations! You have successfully integrated Vue.js with Laravel using Blade templates. You can now build interactive and dynamic web applications by combining the power of Laravel, Vue.js, and Blade templates. Experiment with different Vue components, add interactions and animations, and create a seamless user experience for your web applications. Happy coding!
which better, sir?
Thx man…
Thanks Tony! Great teaching! Very Helpful. Have you done similar videos with Laravel and Nuxt 3? Didn't see any on your playlist. Thanks again!
Thanks
