Quick start

Quick start options:

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.

Click here to go to the JSON:API docs

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:

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

Fully Coded Elements

Vue Material Dashboard 2 is built with over 70 frontend individual elements, like buttons, inputs, navbars, nav tabs, cards, or alerts, giving you the freedom of choosing and combining. All components can take variations in color, which you can easily modify using sass files. You will save a lot of time going from prototyping to full-functional code because all elements are implemented.

This free Vue3 & Bootstrap5 Dashboard is coming with prebuilt design blocks, so the development process is seamless, switching from our pages to the real website is very easy to be done.
