laravel-nuxt

Laravel Nuxt JS

This package allows you to build a SPA with Laravel and Nuxt.

Installation

npm install laravel-nuxt

Attention! You must install the laravel-nuxt PHP package first.

Getting Started

Optionally, you will want to get rid of the default Laravel scaffolding.

Add a script to your package.json like this:

{
    "scripts": {
        "start": "laravel-nuxt"
    },
}

Wrap you nuxt.config.js's export with laravelNuxt:

const laravelNuxt = require("laravel-nuxt");

module.exports = laravelNuxt({
  // Your Nuxt options here...
  modules: [],
  plugins: [],

  // Options such as mode, srcDir and generate.dir are already handled for you.
});

Populate resources/nuxt/pages/index.vue inside your project:

<template>
  <h1>Hello {{ name }}!</h1>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  data: () => {
    return { name: 'world' };
  },
};
</script>

And then run:

npm start

Go to http://localhost:8000.
