LavaBoiler

A Simple SPA Boilerplate built with Laravel and Vue

In short, this is a direct replacement of the php artisan make:auth command with laravel but with Vue and Bulma

Resources

Back-End:

• Laravel: Acts as the back-end API
• Passport: Handles API auth and allows for oAuth support. Current version uses the CreateFreshApiToken middleware to set a JWT in the encrypted cookie that gets sent with the responses. (This SPA is not decoupled as it is launched via a blade)

Front-End:

• Vue: Acts as the front end framework
• Vuex: Vue plugin to handle state management for the app
• vue-router: Handles the routing, currently it does not handle history mode since it requires server changes but if you don't want the hashes just look at this
• Buefy: just a Vue version of Bulma to make things a little more simple by having components... you don't need it but i liked it.
• LocalForage: Simple enhancement for local storage, it uses promises so made my life easier...

Why?

I wanted to learn Vue (and improve my understanding of JS) and create a SPA with Laravel that utilized oAuth.

As I was working on this I realized this would be helpful for me with my future projects so i don't have to do the boring stuff over and over again. Then I figured I'd share it, enjoy.
