Laravel UI Package

The Laravel UI package provides a set of reusable UI components for Laravel applications. These components can be easily installed and customized to fit your specific needs.

Installation

You can install the Laravel UI package using Composer. Simply run the following command:

Usage

Once the package is installed, you can use the provided Artisan command to scaffold the UI components:

php artisan ui vue --auth

This command will generate a basic Vue.js frontend for your application, complete with authentication.

Troubleshooting

If you run into issues installing or using the Laravel UI package, you may need to update your dependencies. You may see an error message like the following:

'- laravel/ui[v3.2.0, ..., 3.x-dev] requires illuminate/console ^8.0 -> found illuminate/console[v8.0.0, ..., 8.x-dev] but these were not loaded, likely because it conflicts with another require.'

This error message indicates that the Laravel UI package requires a specific version of the Illuminate Console package, which may not be compatible with other packages in your application. To resolve this issue, you can try updating your dependencies to ensure that all packages are using compatible versions.

You can also try running the following command to clear your Composer cache:

composer clear-cache
