Laravel API Breeze - Vite + Vue 3 Edition 🏝️

This repository is an implementation of the Laravel API Breeze application / authentication starter kit frontend in Vue. All of the authentication boilerplate is already written for you - powered by Laravel Sanctum, allowing you to quickly begin pairing your beautiful Vue frontend with a powerful Laravel backend.

VSCode + Volar (and disable Vetur) + TypeScript Vue Plugin (Volar).

First, create a Laravel backend by installing Laravel API Breeze into a fresh Laravel application and installing Breeze's API scaffolding:

# Create the Laravel application...
laravel new vue-backend
cd vue-backend
# Install Breeze and dependencies...
composer require laravel/breeze --dev
php artisan breeze:install api
# Run database migrations...
php artisan migrate

Next, ensure that your application's APP_URL and FRONTEND_URL environment variables are set to http://localhost:8000 and http://localhost:3000, respectively.

After defining the appropriate environment variables, you may serve the Laravel application using the serve Artisan command:

# Serve the application...
php artisan serve

Next, clone this repository and install its dependencies with yarn install or npm install. Then, copy the .env.example file to .env and supply the URL of your backend:

VITE_APP_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8000

Finally, run the application via npm run dev. The application will be available at http://localhost:3000:

npm run dev

Note: Currently, we recommend using localhost during local development of your backend and frontend to avoid CORS "Same-Origin" issues.

This Vue application contains a custom auth middleware, designed to abstract all authentication logic away from your pages. In addition, the middleware can be used to access the currently authenticated user:

// First create a route inside router/index.js file
{
 path: '/example-page',
 name: 'example-page',
 meta: { title: 'Example Page', middleware: ['auth'] },
 component: () => import('../views/ExamplePage.vue'),
},

// views/ExamplePage.vue
<script lang="ts" setup>
import AuthenticatedLayout from '../layouts/AuthenticatedLayout.vue'
import { useAuthStore } from '../stores/auth'
const { user, logout } = useAuthStore()
</script>
<template>
 <AuthenticatedLayout>
 <div class="py-12">
 <div class="max-w-7xl mx-auto sm:px-6 lg:px-8 flex gap-10">
 <p>{{ user?.name }}</p>
 <button @click="logout()">Sign out</button>
 </div>
 </div>
 </AuthenticatedLayout>
</template>
<style scoped></style>

Note: You will need to use optional chaining (user?.name instead of user.name) when accessing properties on the user object to account for Vue's initial server-side render.

Contribution is open. Create Pull-request and I'll add it to the project if it's good enough.
