How to use Laravel's Vapor for serverless deployment with vue js



Image not found!!

Laravel Vapor is a serverless deployment platform for Laravel applications, and it primarily focuses on backend services. If you are using Vue.js for your frontend, you can deploy it separately as a static site to a service like AWS S3 or another suitable hosting provider, and then connect it to your Laravel Vapor backend.

Here's a general guide on how you can deploy a Vue.js frontend with Laravel Vapor:

1. Set up Vue.js project:

Assuming you have a Vue.js project ready, build the project using:

bash
npm run build

This command will generate a dist folder containing your static assets.

2. Choose a Hosting Provider for Vue.js:

You can choose a static site hosting provider like AWS S3, Netlify, Vercel, GitHub Pages, or others. For example, if you choose AWS S3:

  • Create an S3 bucket.
  • Upload the contents of the dist folder to the bucket.
  • Make the bucket publicly accessible.

3. Configure Your Laravel Vapor Project:

Assuming you already have a Laravel Vapor project set up, configure the vapor.yml file to include information about your Vue.js frontend. Add the following to the vapor.yml file:

yaml
assets: - source: /path/to/your/vuejs/dist target: public exclude: - .gitignore - node_modules - src - public - .env - .git - .gitignore - README.md

Replace /path/to/your/vuejs/dist with the actual path to your Vue.js dist folder.

4. Deploy Your Laravel Vapor Project:

Deploy your Laravel Vapor project with the following command:

bash
vapor deploy

This will deploy both your Laravel backend and the Vue.js frontend to the serverless environment.

5. Connect Vue.js to Laravel Backend:

In your Vue.js application, update the API endpoints to point to your Laravel Vapor backend. Ensure that your Laravel backend is set up to handle requests from your frontend.

6. Testing:

Test your deployed application to ensure that the frontend and backend communicate correctly.

Remember, Laravel Vapor is primarily designed for deploying serverless Laravel applications, so you may need to adjust your setup based on the specific requirements of your project.

Make sure to refer to the official Laravel Vapor documentation for any updates or changes:
