Step 8: Run Our Laravel Application

Step 1: Install Laravel 8

We are going to install laravel 8, so first open the command prompt or terminal and go to xampp htdocs folder directory using the command prompt. after then run the below command for laravel 8 install.

        $user = new User;
        $user->name = $request->name;
        $user->email = $request->email;
        $user->password = Hash::make($request->password);
        $user->save();

        return response()->json([
            'message' => 'New User created'
        ]);
    }
	
}

?>

Step 5: Install Vue Js dependency
in this step, go to the project directory using the command prompt. after then run the below command for Install Vue Js dependency.

npm install

Step 6: Create Component and update app.js
resources/js/components/UserComponent.vue

<template>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div class="col-md-8">
                <div class="card">
                    <div class="card-header">Create new User</div>

                    <div class="card-body">
                        <p id="success"></p>
                        <form @submit.prevent="addUser">
                            <input type="text" name="name" v-model="name" />
                            <input type="email" name="email" v-model="email" />
                            <input type="password" name="password" v-model="password" />
                            <input type="submit" value="Submit">
                        </form>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>

<script>
    export default {
        data(){
            return {
              name: '',
              email: '',
              password: ''
            }
        },
        methods: {
            addUser(){
                axios.post('/user',{name: this.name, email:email,password:this.password})
                .then((response)=>{
                $('#success').html(response.data.message)

                })
            }
        }
    }
</script>

resources/js/app.js

require('./bootstrap');
window.Vue = require('vue');
Vue.component('user-component', require('./components/UserComponent.vue').default);

const app = new Vue({
    el: '#app',
});

Step 7: Update Blade Files
So finally, first we need to create the app.blade.php file in the “resources/views/layouts/” and Update the welcome.blade.php file in the “resources/views/” directory. so you can see the below code.
resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
    <title>{{ config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>
    <link href="{{ mix('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
    <title>User</title>
</head>
<body>
    
    <div id="app">

    <div class="py-4">
        @yield('content')
    </div>
    
    </div>
    <script src="{{ mix('js/app.js') }}" defer></script>
</body>
</html>

welcome.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')

  <user-component></user-component>
           
@endsection

Step 8: Run Our Laravel Application
We can start the server and run this example using the below command.

npm run dev
//or
npm run watch

Now we will run our example using the below Url in the browser.

http://127.0.0.1:8000/user
