Laravel 11 + Inertia JS (VUE) CRUD Example: Part 2

Hello Artisan,

In the previous blog post, we saw how to set laravel + inertia js project to create a crud operation. If you haven't read it yet, then you can read it here Laravel 11 + Inertia JS (VUE) CRUD Example: Part 1
and configure a basic setup. In this part 2 series, we will build the frontend and backend logic and see how easily inertia seamlessly communicates with the laravel.

Step 1: Create an Event Controller and add the routes in web.php

php artisan make:controller EventController
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This route will used to create, read, update, delete events.

// web.php
 Route::get('/event', [EventManagementController::class, 'index'])
        ->name('event.index');
    Route::get('/event/create', [EventManagementController::class, 'create'])
        ->name('event.create');
    Route::post('/event/create', [EventManagementController::class, 'store'])
        ->name('event.store');
    Route::get('/event/{event}', [EventManagementController::class, 'show'])
        ->name('event.show');
    Route::get('/event/{event}/edit', [EventManagementController::class, 'edit'])
        ->name('event.edit');
    Route::put('/event/{event}/update', [EventManagementController::class, 'update'])
        ->name('event.update');
    Route::delete('/event/{event}/delete', [EventManagementController::class, 'delete'])
        ->name('event.delete');
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 2: Create a frontend design to create an event using Inertia.

  • Create a new folder and name it EventManagement in this given path resources\js\Pages and within that folder create a vue component as Create.vue and add the below code in that component.
<script setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue";
import { Head, useForm } from "@inertiajs/vue3";
import VueDatePicker from "@vuepic/vue-datepicker";

const form = useForm({
    name: "",
    location: "",
    startDate: "",
    endDate: "",
});

const save = () => {
    form.post(route("event.store"), {
        onFinish: () => form.reset(),
    });
};
</script>

<template>
    <Head title="Event Management" />

    <AuthenticatedLayout>
        <template #header>
            <h2 class="font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800 leading-tight">

                    <form @submit.prevent="save">

                                >
                                    Event

  • Add the backend code to EventController in the store method.
public function store(Request $request)
    {
        $params = $request->all();
        $data = [
            'name' => $params['name'],
            'from_datetime' => $params['startDate'],
            'to_datetime' => $params['endDate'],
            'location' => $params['location'],
        ];
        Event::create($data);
        return redirect()->route('event.index');
    }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 3: Create a listing page to show the events. Create Index.vue component and add the code below.

<script setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue";
import { Head, Link, useForm } from "@inertiajs/vue3";
import DangerButton from "@/Components/DangerButton.vue";
import moment from "moment-js";

defineProps({
    events: {
        type: Array,
    },
});

const form = useForm({});

const deleteEvent = (id) => {
    if (confirm("Are you sure you want to move this to trash")) {
        form.delete(route("event.delete", { id: id }), {
            preserveScroll: true,
        });
    }
};

const formatDate = (date) => {
    return moment(date).format("MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm");
};
</script>

<template>
    <Head title="Event Management" />

    <AuthenticatedLayout>
        <template #header>
            <h2 class="font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800 leading-tight">

                                :href="route('event.create')"
                                class="p-3 rounded my-auto text-white bg-blue-500"

  • Backend code to view all the events
/**
     * Show the all the event details
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return Inertia::render('EventManagement/Index', [
            'events' => Event::get()
        ]);
    }

Step 4: Create a view page to show the event details. Create View.vue component and add the code below.

<script setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue";
import moment from "moment-js";
import { Link } from "@inertiajs/vue3";

const props = defineProps({
    event: Object,
});

const formatDate = (date) => {
    return moment(date).format("MM/DD/YYYY hh:mm");
};
</script>
<template>
    <Head :title="props.event.name" />
    <AuthenticatedLayout>
        <div class="py-12">
            <div class="max-w-7xl mx-auto sm:px-6 lg:px-8 space-y-6">
                <Link
                    class="py-3 px-5 m-2 rounded bg-blue-600 text-white float-end"
                    :href="route('event.index')"
                    >Back</Link
                >
                <div class="p-12 px-3 m-auto rounded-lg">
                    <div class="mt-12 bg-white py-5 px-3 rounded-lg">
                        <h1 class="text-2xl font-bold">
                            {{ props.event.name }}
                        </h1>
                        <div>
                            {{ props.event.location }}
                        </div>
                        <div class="text-sm">
                            {{ formatDate(props.event.from_datetime) }} -
                            {{ formatDate(props.event.to_datetime) }}
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </AuthenticatedLayout>
</template>
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Step 5: Create an edit page to edit the event. Create Edit.vue component and add the code below.

<script setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from "@/Layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue";
import { Head, useForm, usePage } from "@inertiajs/vue3";
import VueDatePicker from "@vuepic/vue-datepicker";
import PrimaryButton from "@/Components/PrimaryButton.vue";

const props = defineProps(["event"]);

const form = useForm({
    id: props.event.id,
    name: props.event.name,
    location: props.event.location,
    startDate: props.event.from_datetime,
    endDate: props.event.to_datetime,
});

const update = () => {
    form.put(route("event.update", props.event.id));
};
</script>

<template>
    <Head title="Event Management" />

    <AuthenticatedLayout>
        <template #header>
            <h2 class="font-semibold text-xl text-gray-800 leading-tight">

                                >
