Install vue 3.0 in laravel

Question

Is there a way to install vue 3.0 to Laravel 8? When I run

npm install vue@next

It started installing Vue 3.0, but for some reason it also began installing vue-template-compiler v2.6.12. The following appears:

    Additional dependencies must be installed. This will only take a moment.

    Running: npm install vue-template-compiler --save-dev --production=false

And then when I run

npm run dev

The following error appears:

• [email protected] (C:\wamp64\www\vue-sample\node_modules\vue\index.js)
• [email protected] (C:\wamp64\www\vue-sample\node_modules\vue-template-compiler\package.json)

This may cause things to work incorrectly. Make sure to use the same version for both. If you are using vue-loader@>=10.0, simply update vue-template-compiler. If you are using vue-loader@<10.0 or vueify, re-installing vue-loader/vueify should bump vue-template-compiler to the latest.

@ ./resources/js/app.js 19:35-79 @ multi ./resources/js/app.js ./resources/sass/app.scss

I am completely new in Vue. What should I do?

Update October 2020

Now with laravel-mix v6 you could run Vue 3 code in Laravel App:

1. Installation :

npm i -D laravel-mix@next vue@next @vue/compiler-sfc vue-loader@next

then

npm i

before doing that try to remove the following dependencies from package.json which some of them are added by php artisan ui vue :

• vue
• vue-template-compiler
• laravel-mix

2. Config:

in the package.json change the scripts to the following ones:

"scripts": {
    "development": "mix",
    "watch": "mix watch",
    "watch-poll": "mix watch -- --watch-options-poll=1000",
    "hot": "mix watch --hot",
    "production": "mix --production"
}

webpack.mix.js should contain :

const mix = require('laravel-mix');

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js').vue();

The minimum content of resources/js/app.js

import { createApp } from 'vue';
import App from './components/App.vue'
createApp(App).mount("#app")

In order to avoid this confusing steps clone this REPOSITORY and start coding.

OLD ANSWER

Laravel doesn't support vue 3 yet, but you could try out laravel-mix-vue3 :

Installation :

npm install @types/webpack-env @vue/compiler-sfc vue-loader@next laravel-mix-vue3  --save-dev

Usage :

Configure in webpack.mix.js as follows :

const mix = require("laravel-mix");

require("laravel-mix-vue3");

mix.vue3("resources/js/app.js", "public/js");

Update

Laravel mix v6 is now in beta, use the guide here to upgrade and use Vue v3.

Old answer

You don't need to use the vue3 plugin. I got working as follows:

Install Vue3, Vue3 loader and the compiler:

npm install vue@next vue-loader@next @vue/compiler-sfc

Then in your app.js import vue from the esm bundle:

import { createApp } from 'vue/dist/vue.esm-bundler.js';

Then create your app and mount it:

createApp({}).mount('#app')

Now just build your assets as usual with mix

 npm run dev
