Overview

Step 1: Install laravel
Step 2: Setting Database Configuration
Step 3: Create Table using migration
Step 4: Create Route
Step 5: Create a Model and Controller
Step 6: Install Vue
Step 7: Create Component and update app.js
Step 8: Update Blade Files
Step 9: Run Our Laravel Application

Step 1: Install laravel

Install the laravel using the below command.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel8_vuejs_fullcalendar

1	composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel laravel8_vuejs_fullcalendar

Step 2: Setting Database Configuration
After the complete installation of laravel. we have to database configuration. now we will open the .env file and change the database name, username, password in the .env file. See below changes in a .env file.

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(laravel8_vuejs_fullcalendar)
DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username(root)
DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password(root)

DB_CONNECTION=mysql

DB_HOST=127.0.0.1

DB_PORT=3306

DB_DATABASE=Enter_Your_Database_Name(laravel8_vuejs_fullcalendar)

DB_USERNAME=Enter_Your_Database_Username(root)

DB_PASSWORD=Enter_Your_Database_Password(root)

Step 3: Create Table using migration
Now, We need to create a migration. so we will below command using create the bookings table migration.
Create The table using the below command.

php artisan make:migration create_bookings_table --create=bookings

1	php artisan make:migration create_bookings_table --create=bookings

After complete migration. we need the below changes in the database/migrations/create_bookings_table file.

<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateBookingsTable extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::create('bookings', function (Blueprint $table) {
            $table->bigIncrements('id');
            $table->string('title');
            $table->date('start');
            $table->date('end');
            $table->timestamps();
        });
    }
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        Schema::dropIfExists('bookings');
    }
}
?>

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;

use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;

use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;

class CreateBookingsTable extends Migration

{

/**

* Run the migrations.

* @return void

public function up()

{

Schema::create('bookings', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->bigIncrements('id');

$table->string('title');

$table->date('start');

$table->date('end');

$table->timestamps();

});

}

/**

* Reverse the migrations.

* @return void

public function down()

{

Schema::dropIfExists('bookings');

}

Run the below command. after the changes above file.

php artisan migrate

1	php artisan migrate

Step 4: Create Route
Add the following route code in the “routes/web.php” file.

<?php
use App\Http\Controllers\FullCalendarController;

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Web Routes
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These
| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which
| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!
|
*/

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});



Route::get('/booking',[FullCalendarController::class, 'index']);
?>

<?php

use App\Http\Controllers\FullCalendarController;

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Web Routes

|--------------------------------------------------------------------------

| Here is where you can register web routes for your application. These

| routes are loaded by the RouteServiceProvider within a group which

| contains the "web" middleware group. Now create something great!

Route::get('/', function () {

return view('welcome');

});

Route::get('/booking',[FullCalendarController::class, 'index']);

Step 5: Create a Model and Controller

Now, We will create the controller and model using the below command and paste the below code into this controller.

php artisan make:controller FullCalendarController

1	php artisan make:controller FullCalendarController

php artisan make:model Booking

1	php artisan make:model Booking

FullCalendarController.php

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\Models\Booking;
use Redirect,Response;

class FullCalendarController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
	{
		$bookings = Booking::get(['title','start','end']);
		return response()->json(["bookings" => $bookings]);
	}
	
}

?>

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

use App\Models\Booking;

use Redirect,Response;

class FullCalendarController extends Controller

{

public function index()

{

$bookings = Booking::get(['title','start','end']);

return response()->json(["bookings" => $bookings]);

}

Booking.php

<?php

namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Booking extends Model
{
    use HasFactory;
    protected $fillable = ['title','start','end'];
}
?>

<?php

namespace App\Models;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class Booking extends Model

{

use HasFactory;

protected $fillable = ['title','start','end'];

}

Step 6: Install Vue
In this step, go to the project directory using the command prompt. after then we will install Vue js in laravel 8 and run fullcalender dependency.

php artisan preset vue
npm install

npm install --save vue-full-calendar
npm install --save babel-runtime
npm install babel-preset-stage-2 --save-dev 
npm install moment --save

php artisan preset vue

npm install

npm install --save vue-full-calendar

npm install --save babel-runtime

npm install babel-preset-stage-2 --save-dev

npm install moment --save

Step 7: Create Component and update app.js
resources/js/components/FullCalendarComponent.vue

<template>
<div class="container">
       <full-calendar :event-sources="bookingSources"></full-calendar>
       </div>
</template>
<script>
    export default{
  data() {
    return {
      bookingSources: [
        {
          events(start, end, timezone, callback) {
            axios.get('http://localhost:8000/booking').then(response => {
              callback(response.data.bookings)
            })
          },
          color: 'yellow',
          textColor: 'black',
        }
      ]
    }
  }
    }
</script>

<full-calendar :event-sources="bookingSources"></full-calendar>

</div>

</template>

export default{

data() {

return {

bookingSources: [

{

events(start, end, timezone, callback) {

axios.get('http://localhost:8000/booking').then(response => {

callback(response.data.bookings)

})

color: 'yellow',

textColor: 'black',

}

]

}

</script>

resources/js/app.js

require('./bootstrap');
import 'fullcalendar/dist/fullcalendar.css';
 
window.Vue = require('vue');
import FullCalendar from 'vue-full-calendar'; //Import Full-calendar
Vue.use(FullCalendar);
Vue.component('fullcalendar-component', require('./components/FullCalendarComponent.vue').default);

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

require('./bootstrap');

import 'fullcalendar/dist/fullcalendar.css';

window.Vue = require('vue');

import FullCalendar from 'vue-full-calendar'; //Import Full-calendar

Vue.use(FullCalendar);

Vue.component('fullcalendar-component', require('./components/FullCalendarComponent.vue').default);

const app = new Vue({

el: '#app',

});

Step 8: 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>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
    <title>{{ config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>
 
    <script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}" defer></script>
    <link href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
 
    @stack('fontawesome')
 
</head>
<body>
    <div id="app">
 
        <main class="py-4">
            @yield('content')
        </main>
 
    </div>
</body>
</html>

<!doctype html>

<html>

<head>

<title>{{ config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>

@stack('fontawesome')

</head>

<body>

@yield('content')

</main>

</div>

</body>

</html>

welcome.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
    <div class="row justify-content-center">
        <div class="col-md-8">
            <div class="card">
                <div class="card-header">Laravel 8 Vue JS Fullcalendar Example Tutorial</div>   
                <div class="card-body">
                  <fullcalendar-component></fullcalendar-component>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>
@endsection

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')

<div class="card-header">Laravel 8 Vue JS Fullcalendar Example Tutorial</div>

<fullcalendar-component></fullcalendar-component>

</div>

@endsection

Step 9: Run Our Laravel Application
We can start the server and run this example using the below command.

npm run dev
//or
npm run watch

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/users

1	http://127.0.0.1:8000/users
