Question 1

How to add a new language to Laravel Vue Boilerplate?

Accepted Answer

To add a new language, create translation files in Laravel's resources/lang directory and run 'php artisan vue-i18n:generate' to sync them with the Vue frontend. This uses the laravel-vue-i18n-generator package, but you'll need to update the Vue components manually for full integration.

Question 2

Laravel Vue Boilerplate vs Laravel Jetstream: which should I use?

Accepted Answer

Laravel Vue Boilerplate offers a more feature-rich setup with GraphQL, PWA, and Docker, while Jetstream is an official starter with simpler authentication and team features. Choose this boilerplate if you need advanced integrations; otherwise, Jetstream is better for basic, modern Laravel SPAs.

Question 3

How to remove GraphQL from this boilerplate?

Accepted Answer

Removing GraphQL involves uninstalling the GraphQL Laravel package, deleting related routes and controllers, and refactoring Vue components that use vue-apollo. It's non-trivial due to tight integration, so consider if you truly need to strip it out.

Question 4

Does this boilerplate support Vue 3?

Accepted Answer

No, it's built with Vue.js 2.6 and does not support Vue 3 out of the box. Upgrading would require significant changes to dependencies like Vue Router and Vuex, as well as potential breaking changes in the codebase.

Question 5

How to deploy this to production without Docker?

Accepted Answer

For production, set up a web server like Nginx, configure environment variables, run database migrations with 'php artisan migrate', and compile assets using 'npm run prod'. The Docker setup is for development only, so manual server configuration is necessary.

Question 6

Can I use a different CSS framework instead of Bootstrap?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but it requires replacing Bootstrap 4 and BootstrapVue dependencies in the frontend, updating templates and styles, and potentially rewriting components. The boilerplate is heavily integrated with Bootstrap, so this is a significant overhaul.
