README

Want to use lumen but all the advantages of vue-cli even with hot reloading? Here you go! A lumen scaffolding with built-in vue-cli.

This project is a basic lumen 8.0 app, created using the laravel/lumen scaffolding. On top Vue 3 is installed using vue-cli-service ~4.5.0 with babel, eslint, vue-router and vue-axios.

Install

Please verify the requirements for lumen 8 and vue-cli first.

Install via composer:

composer create-project --prefer-dist rufusmaiwald/lumen-vue-cli site

site is the dir name where the new project will be created in.

After installation download all npm dependencies:

npm install

Getting Started

Source files

The typical vue-cli src directory was just moved to ./resources/js/vue. So you can just use it as usual. Assets in ./resources/js/vue/assets will be automatically resolved with @/asset.img.

Static files

As vue-cli is now building your compiled source code and assets in your ./public directory, dont put files in there. All static files that you want to have in the ./public directory are copied over from ./resources/static on running npm run build. You might remember this behaviour from the vue-cli static folder.

Build application

Using npm run build your vue-app will be compiled in the public folder and all static files will be copied over. Thats it! Your app is ready to be served from ./public.

Development

lumen-vue-cli uses the vue devServer proxy to allow all backend routes to be available from the frontend only via XHR/fetch requests. Learn more about devServer proxy [here](composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/lumen blog). Just run php artisan serve and npm run serve and voila, your app should be up on https://localhost:8080.

Using the vue-cli devServer, all vue front-end requests get not routed through lumen and associated middlewares. To test this behaviour just build the front-end using npm run build and run the lumen app using php artisan serve

Views

./resources/js/vue/index.html will be copied on build to ./resources/views/app.blade.php. Just include the template in your route to return your vue app.
