In this tutorial, we will show you how to build a fullstack web application using Laravel and Vue.js. Laravel is a popular backend framework written in PHP, while Vue.js is a popular frontend JavaScript framework.
To start building our web application, we need to set up our development environment. First, we need to install Laravel by running the following command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel myapp
Next, we need to create our backend API using Laravel. We can do this by creating a controller and defining our API routes. Here is an example:
// app/Http/Controllers/TodoController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Todo;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class TodoController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return Todo::all();
}
public function store(Request $request)
{
return Todo::create($request->all());
}
public function update(Request $request, Todo $todo)
{
$todo->update($request->all());
return $todo;
}
public function destroy(Todo $todo)
{
$todo->delete();
return response()->json(['message' => 'Todo deleted']);
}
}
Now that we have our backend API, we can move on to building the frontend using Vue.js. We can start by creating a Vue component to display our todos:
<!-- resources/js/components/TodoList.vue -->
<template>
<div>
<ul>
<li v-for="todo in todos" :key="todo.id">
{{ todo.title }}
</li>
</ul>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default {
data() {
return {
todos: []
}
},
mounted() {
axios.get('/api/todos')
.then(response => {
this.todos = response.data
})
.catch(error => {
console.log(error)
})
}
}
</script>
In summary, integrating Laravel and Vue.js is a great way to build a fullstack web application. Laravel provides a powerful backend API, while Vue.js makes it easy to create interactive and responsive user interfaces.
