Build a Basic CRUD App with Laravel and Vue

This example shows how to use Laravel and Vue to create a basic CRUD app for hosting trivia games, using Okta to handle authentication.

Please read (Article Placeholder) to see how this application was built.

Prerequisites: PHP, Node, Okta developer account

Okta has Authentication and User Management APIs that reduce development time with instant-on, scalable user infrastructure. Okta's intuitive API and expert support make it easy for developers to authenticate, manage, and secure users and roles in any application.

Getting Started

Sign up for an Okta developer account and create a new application. Make note of the Client ID and Issuer values for your application.

Clone this project using the following commands:

git clone git@github.com:oktadeveloper/okta-php-laravel-vue-crud-example.git
cd okta-php-laravel-vue-crud-example

Set up the Backend

Create the database and user for the project:

mysql -uroot -p
CREATE DATABASE trivia CHARACTER SET utf8mb4 COLLATE utf8mb4_unicode_ci;
GRANT ALL on trivia.* to trivia@127.0.0.1 identified by 'trivia';
quit

Copy the example .env file:

cd trivia-web-service
cp .env.example .env

Put the database details in the .env file:

DB_DATABASE=trivia
DB_USERNAME=trivia
DB_PASSWORD=trivia

Edit app/Http/Middleware/AuthenticateWithOkta.php and replace the Okta credentials with your own.

Install the project dependencies, generate a project key, run the migrations and then start the server:

composer install
php artisan key:generate
php artisan migrate
php artisan serve

Loading 127.0.0.1:8000 now should show the default Laravel page, and 127.0.0.1:8000/api/players should show you a 'Unauthorized' message. NOTE: if using a virtual machine and NAT, you might need to run the server as php artisan serve --host 0.0.0.0 instead.

Set up the Frontend

cd trivia-web-client-vue
yarn install
yarn serve

NOTE: if using a virtual machine and NAT, you might need to run the server as yarn serve --host 0.0.0.0 instead.

Loading 127.0.0.1:8080 now should show you the application.
