Laravue - a beautiful dashboard for Laravel

#vue #laravel #php #dashboard

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.

Also, this is my first DEV post 🎉

This looks great! I suggested it to our web team, currently they are using AdminLTE–template (unless they changed it already).

Btw you said "Laravel Lamen as API gateway" (typo Lamen = Lumen 😉) but is that correct? Aren't you using the full Laravel framework and not the minimal Lumen version.

Tuan Duong • Feb 14 '19 • Edited

Thanks @glennmen , I corrected the typo 😉.

In this version, I'm using full Laravel framework because I want to experiment more on other packages - not only which Lumen offers. I will release a version for Lumen when everything is... so so 😛.

I would suggest to keep using the Lavavel framework.
Even though your dashboard will work with only Lumen it will be harder for other developers to customize and extend your dashboard for their projects. Lumen for example doesn't support views.

@glennmen : Thanks for your suggestion. Well noted.

Tuan Duong, thx! Will be using this in my next coming project! I'm currently also using AdminLTE vue template.

This is the first time I am developing a Laravel Vue app. When I use 'php artisan serve', everything works fine. But when I load it with 'localhost/myProject/public', assets are not loaded. My images are in 'img' directory inside public folder. I was using blade templating to manage this issue when I use Laravel alone. But now I can't use blade since it is a Vue component. How can I run the project without 'php artisan serve'? My Ultimate aim is to deploy the project in godaddy shared server. Please help me.

Hi @iqbaltld

Thanks for reaching this project. If you don't want to use php artisan serve, you should create vhost file (depends on which web server you are using) and point to /your/project/public folder, then you open browser to access to http://your_vhost_name. With the current release, Laravue doesn't support to be run as subfolder.

If you have any question, please let me know. I also suggest you open issue on github.com/tuandm/laravue/issues so that everyone can get noticed about your trouble.

Hi @iqbaltld ,

Laravue now supports running in subfolder, please check the document here: doc.laravue.dev/guide/#change-the-...

@honghanhnguyen
Sorry I didn't get the error here. Have you run the DB seeder to insert default users to DB? Or if you already have some users, please login with the correct credentials.
