How to Add Vue js 3 to Laravel 12 with Vite
This tutorial will show us how to add Vue js 3 to Laravel 12 with Vite. Since version 9.19, Laravel has moved from Webpack to Vite, which became the default front-end asset bundler for Laravel applications.
Install the packages
First of all, I assume that you have already installed a fresh new Laravel 12 application. We will add Vue js 3 and the 'vitejs/plugin-vue' plugin to our application.
npm install vue
npm i @vitejs/plugin-vue
Update the file vite.config.js
Next, let's update the file vite.config.js, We will add Vue to the plugins array.
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin';
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue';
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
vue(),
laravel({
input: ['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'],
refresh: true,
}),
],
});
Create the home component
Inside the js folder, let's create a new file, 'Home.vue', and add the code below.
<template>
<div>
Add vue js to laravel 12
</div>
</template>
<script setup>
</script>
<style scoped>
</style>
Update the file app.js
Next, update the file app.js, Let's import the home component and add it to the app.
import './bootstrap';
import { createApp } from 'vue/dist/vue.esm-bundler.js';
import Home from './Home.vue';
const app = createApp({});
app.component('home-component', Home);
app.mount("#app");
Update the welcome page
Next, update the file welcome.blade.php, we add the link to the app.js file and use the home component.
Now you can run php artisan serve and npm run dev, and everything will work fine. You will see the content of the home component on the welcome page.
