Introductions

Couple months ago I was trying to find a new solution for my project, and I had built a SPA dashboard with Vue (using this great framework, Laravel Lumen as API gateway, Laravel Passport as SSO server). After some weeks of working, I found that architecture has some limitations, especially in deployment and hard to open source (because many components involved, CORS setup,...). Then one day new idea came to me:

Why don't we use builtin VueJS of Laravel to build a SPA dashboard?

And Laravel + VueJS = Laravue

Demo: https://laravue.dev
Documentation: https://doc.laravue.dev

Laravue is a beautiful dashboard inspired by vue-element-admin but beyond that. It provides all necessary components for building an enterprise application for admin to control business and manage others. My plan is to apply newest technologies/libraries/components of Laravel/Vue to this project and make it easy to use for everyone. In the demo, API will be served by Laravel itself and most of them are faked - but easy to implement.

Getting started

# Clone the project with composer
composer create-project tuandm/laravue
cd laravue

# Migration and DB seeder (after changing your DB settings in .env)
php artisan migrate --seed

# Install passport
php artisan passport:install

# install dependency
npm install

# Build for development
npm run dev # or npm run watch

# Start local development server
npm artisan serve

Next steps

• This project is on heavy development and it has not being built as Laravel plugin (as it should be). Next step will be a standalone plugin for Laravel to easy to integrate to existing Laravel websites.

• Provide full documentation and strict coding convention. PHP/Laravel has an excellent PSR and VueJS has a good standard here but it's too basic and not enough.

• Fully tests.

I greatly appreciate any feedback, comments, suggestions,... they absolutely make me and this library better. Thank you.
