Strapi + Laravel Tutorial

Prerequisites

Change to the strapi directory and run the following:

npm install

Then, change to the blog directory and run the following:

composer install

You also need to copy and rename .env.example to .env:

cp .env.example .env

Then, add the following environment variables at the end of .env:

STRAPI_URL=
STRAPI_API_TOKEN=

STRAPI_URL is the URL to your Strapi installation. If you're running it local, it should be http://localhost:1337.

STRAPI_API_TOKEN is the API Token you create in Strapi Admin. You can check the tutorial to learn how to do that.

Change to the strapi directory and run the following command:

npm run develop

This will start Strapi's server at http://localhost:1337.

You'll need to add the content types and entries using the admin. You can follow along in the tutorial to learn how to do that.

Then, go to the blog directory using another terminal and run the following command:

php artisan serve

This will start the Laravel server at http://localhost:8000.
