How to Integrate Laravel 11 Application with Vue.js

Integrating Laravel with frontend frameworks like Vue.js or React is a popular choice for building modern web applications. In this tutorial, I’ll guide you through integrating Vue.js with Laravel.

Prerequisites:

  • Basic knowledge of Laravel and Vue.js
  • Composer installed on your system
  • Node.js and npm installed on your system

Step 1: Set up a new Laravel project

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel vue-laravel-integration
cd vue-laravel-integration

Step 2: Install Vue.js

npm install

Step 3: Set up Vue.js in Laravel

npm install vue

Step 4: Create a Vue Component

Create a new Vue component. For example, let’s create a simple component called ExampleComponent.vue.

// resources/js/components/ExampleComponent.vue

<template>
    <div>
        <h1>{{ message }}</h1>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
export default {
    data() {
        return {
            message: 'Hello from Vue.js!'
        }
    }
}
</script>

Step 5: Include the Vue Component in Laravel

Include the Vue component in your Blade file.

// resources/views/welcome.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Laravel Vue Integration</title>
    <link href="{{ mix('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
    <div id="app">
        <example-component></example-component>
    </div>
    <script src="{{ mix('js/app.js') }}"></script>
</body>
</html>

Step 6: Run the Application

npm run dev
php artisan serve

Visit http://localhost:8000 in your browser, and you’ll see “Hello from Vue.js!” displayed on the page.

Conclusion

Integrating Laravel with Vue.js is straightforward and offers a powerful combination for building modern web applications. With this setup, you can now use Vue.js components within your Laravel application, allowing you to create dynamic and interactive user interfaces seamlessly.

You can follow a similar process for integrating React with Laravel. Simply install React instead of Vue.js and create React components instead of Vue components.
