A Laravel-Nuxt starter project template.

• SSR or SPA
• Authentication with JWT
• Socialite integration
• Bootstrap 4 + Font Awesome 5

• composer create-project --prefer-dist cretueusebiu/laravel-nuxt
• Edit .env to set your database connection details and APP_URL (the url to your Laravel application)

• php artisan migrate
• yarn / npm install

npm run dev

npm run build
npm run start

For Nginx you can add a proxy using the follwing location block:

server {
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://HOST:PORT;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

Where HOST is the ip address of your server and PORT is the port you're running the application (3000 by default).

In production you need a process manager to keep the Node server alive forever:

# install pm2 process manager
npm install -g pm2

# startup script
pm2 startup

# start process
pm2 start npm --name "laravel-nuxt" -- run start

# save process list
pm2 save

# list all processes
pm2 l

After each deploy you'll need to restart the process:

pm2 restart laravel-nuxt 

If you don't want server side rendering you can use the mode option:

• Uncomment mode: 'spa' and '~plugins/nuxt-client-init' in client/nuxt.config.js
• Uncomment // ->prefix('api') in app/Providers/RouteServiceProvider.php
• Set APP_URL=http://example.com/api and CLIENT_URL=http://example.com in your .env
• Run npm run build

Make sure to read the Nuxt docs.

• This project uses router-module, so you have to add the routes manually in client/router.js.
• If you want to separate this in two projects (client and server api), move package.json into client/ and remove config path option from the scripts section. Also make sure to add the env variables in client/.env.
