Laravel InertiaJS Svelte Tailwindcss DaisyUI Installation with laravel breeze| Sabbirz

INSTALLING LARAVEL

Create a folder and open CMD/Terminal with the folder location

terminal/ cmd

composer create-project laravel/laravel .

This will create a Laravel Project inside the current directory

SERVER SIDE SETUP - INERTIAJS

Now visit to InertiaJS website & let's do the server setup

terminal/ cmd

composer require inertiajs/inertia-laravel

This will, install the Inertia server-side adapter using the Composer package manager.

Next, setup the root template that will be loaded on the first page visit to your application. So browse to laravel Resources>views folder.

Create a file named app.blade.php file & paste the below code snippet

app.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, maximum-scale=1.0" />
    @vite('resources/js/app.js')
    @inertiaHead
  </head>
  <body>
    @inertia
  </body>
</html>

Next we need to setup the Inertia middleware.

terminal/ cmd

php artisan inertia:middleware

Once the middleware has been published,

as the last item in your web middleware group.

Kernel.php

'web' => [
    // existing code
    \App\Http\Middleware\HandleInertiaRequests::class,
],

That's it, you're all ready to go server-side!

CLIENT SIDE SETUP - INERTIAJS

First, install the Inertia client-side adapter for svelte

terminal/ cmd

npm install @inertiajs/svelte

Next, we have to update our main JavaScript file, which reside resources > js > app.js to boot the Inertia app.

Copy the code snippet to resources > js > app.js file

app.js

import "./bootstrap";

import { createInertiaApp } from "@inertiajs/svelte";

createInertiaApp({
    resolve: (name) => {
        const pages = import.meta.glob("./Pages/**/*.svelte", { eager: true });
        return pages[`./Pages/${name}.svelte`];
    },
    setup({ el, App, props }) {
        new App({ target: el, props });
    },
});

DEFINE INITIAL PAGE

Create a folder named Pages inside resources/js folder

Now create a file name Welcome.svelte inside resources > js > Pages folder

Now, copy the code snippet to Welcome.svelte file

Welcome.svelte

<script>
    let stack = "svelte"
</script>

<main>
    <h1>
        Welcome to Laravel {stack} stack
    </h1>
</main>

Open web.php file inside routes folder

Now, we have to define the route to the file that we just created

web.php

<?php

use Inertia\Inertia;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;


Route::get('/', function () {
    return Inertia::render('Welcome');
});

Now we have to install a package called @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte which a vite plugin for svelte

terminal

npm install @sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte

Now, open vite.config.js file & insert this code inside plugin svelte({ })

so the final code will be

vite.config.js

import { defineConfig } from "vite";
import laravel from "laravel-vite-plugin";
import { svelte } from "@sveltejs/vite-plugin-svelte";

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: ["resources/css/app.css", "resources/js/app.js"],
            refresh: true,
        }),
        svelte({}),
    ],
});

Now we have to run two con-current command and both of this command must be run in separate window, you can not close the window at this moment

terminal/ cmd

npm run dev
php artisan serve

Now we can see our svelte code running on http://127.0.0.1:8000/

and we can check vite configuration is working on http://localhost:5173/

At this point our setup is almost complete, and going forward is comparatively easy because a github user named tapan288 already published a composer package consist of laravel breeze with svelte component. Also this package take care of complex configuration of vite-svelte plugin and configuration of tailwind.

You can install the package via Composer:

terminal/ cmd

composer require tapansharma/breeze-svelte --dev

Now install daisyui

terminal/ cmd

npm i daisyui

open tailwind config file and add this line in plugin

tailwind config file

require('daisyui')
