Laravel 5.5 + CoreUI Admin Bootstrap Template with ReactJS

A clean install of Laravel 5.5 with the CoreUI Full Bootstrap Admin Template ReactJS Version in this repo.

Getting Started

You can either download the repository directly or follow the instructions here to make your own fresh install.

Install from repository

Download & unpack the files, navigate to the directory and run:

composer install

After it has completed, run:

npm install

Copy the example .env file:

cp .env.example .env

Generate an application key:

php artisan key:generate

Run Mix tasks:

npm run dev

View the website:

php artisan serve

Step-by-step Clean Install

1. Install Laravel with ReactJS

Inititate a new Laravel project:

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel CoreUI-ReactJS
cd CoreUI-ReactJS
npm install

More information regarding requirements can be found here. On any fresh Laravel application, you may use the preset command with the react option to create a basic scaffold:

php artisan preset react

Next, switch to the following structure directories : CoreUI-ReactJS/resources/assets/js there is one folder and two javascript files. The folder name is components, which is react component and the second file is app.js other file is bootstrap.js Go to the resources/views/welcome.blade.php file, remove the existing code and copy the following :

<!-- welcome.blade.php -->

<!doctype html>
<html lang="{{ app()->getLocale() }}">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <title>Laravel</title>
        <link href="{{mix('css/app.css')}}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="example"></div>
        <script src="{{mix('js/app.js')}}" ></script>
    </body>
</html>

Then run :

npm run dev

It will compile all of our assets and put bundled javascript file into the public/js/app.js file. You can now see your basic ReactJS app by booting a development server

php artisan serve

2. Add CoreUI-Vue repository

In composer.json, add a new repository after "config":

"repositories": [
        {
            "type": "package",
            "package": {
                "name": "mrholek/CoreUI-React",
                "version": "dev-master",
                "dist": {
                    "url": "https://github.com/mrholek/CoreUI-React/archive/master.zip",
                    "type": "zip"
                }

            }
        }
    ]

And then require it:

"require": {
    "php": ">=7.0.0",
    "fideloper/proxy": "~3.3",
    "laravel/framework": "5.5.*",
    "laravel/tinker": "~1.0",
    "mrholek/CoreUI-React": "dev-master"
},

Run composer update to add these packages. At this point the CoreUI files should be in vendor/mrholek/CoreUI-React/

3. Add Dependencies

In package.json, update your devDependencies and dependencies to have the following:

  "devDependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.17",
    "babel-preset-react": "^6.23.0",
    "cross-env": "^5.1",
    "jquery": "^3.2",
    "laravel-mix": "^1.0",
    "lodash": "^4.17.4"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "react-number-format": "^3.1.3",
    "bootstrap": "4.0.0",
    "chart.js": "2.7.1",
    "flag-icon-css": "2.9.0",
    "font-awesome": "4.7.0",
    "history": "4.7.2",
    "react": "16.2.0",
    "react-chartjs-2": "2.7.0",
    "react-dom": "16.2.0",
    "react-router-dom": "4.2.2",
    "react-transition-group": "2.2.1",
    "reactstrap": "5.0.0-alpha.4",
    "simple-line-icons": "2.4.1"
  }

Run npm update

4. Add CoreUI files to Mix

Copy the following content to your webpack.mix.js:

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

var coreui_vendor = 'vendor/mrholek/CoreUI-React/React_Full_Project';
mix.copyDirectory(coreui_vendor + '/public/img', 'public/public/img')
     .copyDirectory(coreui_vendor + '/scss', 'resources/coreui/scss')
     .copyDirectory(coreui_vendor + '/src', 'resources/coreui/src');
    
mix.react('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

Then run :

npm run dev

the coreui directory will appear in resources

5. Update CoreUI app

In /resources/assets/sass/app.scss comment out existing lines and add in our package fonts + coreui style.

// Fonts
//@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Raleway:300,400,600");

// Variables
//@import "variables";

// Bootstrap
//@import "~bootstrap-sass/assets/stylesheets/bootstrap";

// Fonts
@import "~font-awesome/scss/font-awesome"; // Font Awesome
@import "~simple-line-icons/scss/simple-line-icons"; // Simple Line Icons

// CoreUI Style
@import "../../coreui/scss/style";

6. Change bootstrap import

In resources/coreui/scss/style.scss make sure you have this content:

// Override Boostrap variables
@import "bootstrap-variables";

// Import Bootstrap source files
@import "node_modules/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap";

// Override core variables
@import "core-variables";

// Import core styles
@import "core/core";

// Custom styles
@import "custom";

7. Check route and update welcome.blade.php

Make sure you have the route welcome set in routes/web.php file:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

In your resources/views/welcome.blade.php, replace all the content with this one :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ config('app.locale') }}">
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

    <title>Laravel - CoreUI Example</title>

    <link href="{{ mix('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">

    <script>
        window.Laravel = {!! json_encode([
            'csrfToken' => csrf_token(),
        ]) !!};
    </script>

    <!-- BODY options, add following classes to body to change options

    // Header options
    1. '.header-fixed'                  - Fixed Header

    // Sidebar options
    1. '.sidebar-fixed'                 - Fixed Sidebar
    2. '.sidebar-hidden'                - Hidden Sidebar
    3. '.sidebar-off-canvas'        - Off Canvas Sidebar
    4. '.sidebar-compact'               - Compact Sidebar Navigation (Only icons)

    // Aside options
    1. '.aside-menu-fixed'          - Fixed Aside Menu
    2. '.aside-menu-hidden'         - Hidden Aside Menu
    3. '.aside-menu-off-canvas' - Off Canvas Aside Menu

    // Footer options
    1. '.footer-fixed'                      - Fixed footer

    -->
</head>
<body class="app header-fixed sidebar-fixed aside-menu-fixed aside-menu-hidden">
    <div id="root"></div>
    <script src="{{ mix('js/app.js') }}"></script>
</body>
</html>

8. Use the CoreUI JS

In resources/assets/js/app.js replace the existing code by this one:

import React from 'react';

/**
 * First we will load all of this project's JavaScript dependencies which
 * includes React and other helpers. It's a great starting point while
 * building robust, powerful web applications using React + Laravel.
 */

require('./bootstrap');

/**
 * Next, we will create a fresh React component instance and attach it to
 * the page. Then, you may begin adding components to this application
 * or customize the JavaScript scaffolding to fit your unique needs.
 */

/* Import the Main component */
require('../../coreui/src/index.js');

9. Fix Paths

Run Mix tasks, copying over CoreUI files:

npm run dev

At this point Mix will fail, as some of the paths need to be changed.

In /resources/coreui/scss/core/_variables.scss, change the logo paths to:

$navbar-brand-logo:                   url('/public/img/logo.png') !default; 
$navbar-brand-minimized-logo:         url('/public/img/logo-symbol.png') !default;

Now the build should be successful with npm run dev and the CorUI dashboard should be visible in your localhost.

10. Clean the URL

To eliminate those annoying '#' symbols from the browser URL, go to /resource/coreui/src/index.js and use BrowserRouter instead of HashRouter :

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import {BrowserRouter as Router, Route, Switch} from 'react-router-dom';

// Styles
// Import Flag Icons Set
import 'flag-icon-css/css/flag-icon.min.css';
// Import Font Awesome Icons Set
import 'font-awesome/css/font-awesome.min.css';
// Import Simple Line Icons Set
import 'simple-line-icons/css/simple-line-icons.css';
// Import Main styles for this application
import '../scss/style.scss'
// Temp fix for reactstrap
import '../scss/core/_dropdown-menu-right.scss'

// Containers
import Full from './containers/Full/'

// Views
import Login from './views/Pages/Login/'
import Register from './views/Pages/Register/'
import Page404 from './views/Pages/Page404/'
import Page500 from './views/Pages/Page500/'

ReactDOM.render((
  <Router>
    <Switch>
      <Route exact path="/login" name="Login Page" component={Login}/>
      <Route exact path="/register" name="Register Page" component={Register}/>
      <Route exact path="/404" name="Page 404" component={Page404}/>
      <Route exact path="/500" name="Page 500" component={Page500}/>
      <Route path="/" name="Home" component={Full}/>
    </Switch>
  </Router>
), document.getElementById('root'));

11. Comment out the CoreUI mix copies

To avoid overwriting our changes, comment out the copies in webpack.mix.js:

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

// var coreui_vendor = 'vendor/mrholek/CoreUI-React/React_Full_Project';
// mix.copyDirectory(coreui_vendor + '/public/img', 'public/public/img')
//     .copyDirectory(coreui_vendor + '/scss', 'resources/coreui/scss')
//     .copyDirectory(coreui_vendor + '/src', 'resources/coreui/src');
    
mix.react('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

12. Run Mix and Serve

At this point, running the following should not have any errors:

npm run dev
php artisan serve
