- Managing application state with Vuex or Laravel's native state management.
4. Connecting Laravel Backend and Frontend
- Understanding RESTful APIs and how Laravel and Vue.js interact. - Setting up API routes in Laravel to handle frontend requests. - Sending and receiving data between Vue.js and Laravel using Axios. - Handling authentication securely with JWT or Laravel Passport in the frontend and backend. - Building real-time features such as chat systems or notifications with Laravel Echo and
WebSockets. - Implementing dynamic pages, user profiles, dashboards, and other features.
5. Database Management and Integration
- Introduction to relational and non-relational databases: MySQL vs MongoDB. - Setting up and managing MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB with Laravel. - Writing efficient database queries with Laravel’s Eloquent ORM. - Migrations, seeders, and database structure changes in Laravel. - Implementing database relationships (one-to-many, many-to-many, etc.). - Optimizing database queries for performance and scaling applications.
6. Deploying Full Stack Applications
- Introduction to deployment: Preparing the application for production. - Deploying Laravel applications to cloud platforms like Heroku, AWS, or DigitalOcean. - Configuring the environment for production: Environment variables, caching, and build processes. - Deploying Vue.js applications: Static site generation, CDN, and cloud hosting options. - Connecting frontend and backend in a deployed environment.
- Introduction to CI/CD tools: GitHub Actions, Jenkins, and Laravel Envoyer
7. Testing and Debugging
- Introduction to testing in Laravel: Unit tests, feature tests, and Laravel’s testing tools. - Testing Vue.js applications with Jest, Vue Test Utils, and end-to-end testing using Cypress. - Debugging techniques for both Laravel and Vue.js applications. - Writing effective tests for API endpoints, components, and business logic. - Error handling in Laravel and Vue.js: Debugging, logging, and error boundaries.
8. Capstone Project and Real-World Applications
- Build a complete full-stack application: Backend, frontend, and database. - Key features: Authentication, CRUD operations, user dashboards, and real-time updates. - Deploy the application to a cloud platform for real-world use. - Presenting your project: Demonstrating the application’s functionality, API integration, anduser
experience. - Portfolio development: Showcasing your project to potential employers or clients
