Laravel is a powerful PHP framework known for its elegant syntax and robust features. Vue.js, on the other hand, is a progressive JavaScript framework that simplifies building interactive user interfaces. Combining these two technologies can result in a powerful web application that leverages the strengths of both frameworks. In this tutorial, we'll walk through the process of setting up Laravel with a Vue.js frontend, allowing you to build modern, dynamic web applications with ease.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites installed on your system:
To get started, we'll create a new Laravel project using Composer. Open your terminal and run the following command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel my-laravel-app
This command will create a new Laravel project named my-laravel-app in the current directory. Once the project is created, navigate into the project directory:
cd my-laravel-app
Laravel Sanctum is a lightweight package for API authentication in Laravel applications. To install Sanctum, run the following Composer command:
composer require laravel/sanctum
After installing Sanctum, publish its configuration file using the following Artisan command:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Laravel\Sanctum\SanctumServiceProvider"
Next, run the migration to create the necessary database tables for Sanctum:
php artisan migrate
