Download

For the free version of the project you can either

• download the .zip file from the Creative Tim site and extract it or
• make a clone from the Github repository

You will get two project folders: one for the Laravel API project and one for the Vue frontend.

Laravel API Setup

Introduction

JSON:API is a specification for how a client should request that resources be fetched or modified, and how a server should respond to those requests. It is designed to minimize both the number of requests and the amount of data transmitted between clients and servers. This efficiency is achieved without compromising readability, flexibility, or discoverability.

Prerequisites

JSON:API backend

The Laravel JSON:API backend project requires a proper multi-threaded web server such as Apache/Nginx environment with PHP, Composer and MySQL.

Do not use php artisan serve as it will result in stalled requests due to the single-threaded nature of the built-in PHP web server.

We strongly recommend using Laradock for Linux and Mac or Laragon for Windows if possible.

Other options for your local environment:

• Windows: How to install WAMP on Windows
• Linux & Mac: How to install LAMP on Linux & Mac

You will also need to install Composer 2: https://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md

Vue Material frontend

The Vue Material frontend project requires a working local environment with NodeJS version 8.9 or above (8.11.0+ recommended), npm, VueCLI.

Install Node: https://nodejs.org/ (version 8.11.0+ recommended)

Install NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/get-npm

Install VueCLI: https://cli.vuejs.org/guide/installation.html

Laravel JSON:API Project Installation

1. Navigate in your Laravel API project folder: cd your-laravel-json-api-project
2. Install project dependencies: composer install
3. Create a new .env file: cp .env.example .env
4. Add your own database credentials in the .env file in DB_DATABASE, DB_USERNAME, DB_PASSWORD
5. Create users table: php artisan migrate --seed
6. Generate application key: php artisan key:generate
7. Install Laravel Passport: php artisan passport:install and set in the .env file the CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET that you receive
8. Add your own mailtrap.io credentials in MAIL_USERNAME and MAIL_PASSWORD in the .env file

Vue Material Dashboard Project Installation

1. Navigate to your Vue Dashboard project folder: cd your-vue-material-dashbord-project
2. Install project dependencies: npm install
3. Create a new .env file: cp .env.example .env
4. VUE_APP_BASE_URL should contain the URL of your Vue Material Dashboard Project (eg. http://localhost:8080/)
5. VUE_APP_API_BASE_URL should contain the URL of your Laravel JSON:API Project. (eg. http://localhost:3000/api/v1)
6. Run npm run dev to start the application in a local development environment or npm run build to build release distributables.

Element-UI

Vue Material Dashboard json API also uses element-ui components, restyled to fit perfectly with the existing Material look & feel.

Usage

Register a user or login using [email protected] and secret and start testing the theme.

Besides the dashboard and the auth pages this theme also has an edit profile page. All the necessary files are installed out of the box and all the needed routes are added to src\router\index.js. Keep in mind that all the features can be viewed once you log in using the credentials provided above or by registering your own user.

Dashboard

You can access the dashboard either by using the "Dashboards/Dashboard" link in the left sidebar or by adding /home in the URL.

Login

The login functionality is fully implemented in our theme helping you to start your project in no time. To login into dashboard you just have to add /login in the URL and fill the login form with the credentials (user: [email protected] and password: secret).

The src\pages\Dashboard\Pages\Login.vue is the Vue component which handles the login functinality. You can easily adapt it to your needs.

It uses the auth store located in src\store\modules\auth.js.
