Front-end Scaffolding means to create a basic structure for an application. Laravel provides a very simple way to change the front-end presets/scaffolding with any of the other available scaffolding like Bootstrap, Vue and React.

Generate Scaffolding:

  • Step 1: To generate a scaffolding, we first need to install the laravel/ui, which is a composer package and to do that we have to run the following composer command.
    composer require laravel/ui --dev

  • Step 2: After that, we can run the ui artisan command to generate a base scaffolding. As we discussed before, we can generate the scaffolding for Bootstrap, Vue or React and for that we will run the following artisan command.
    • Bootstrap
      php artisan ui bootstrap
    • Vue
      php artisan ui vue
    • React
      php artisan ui react

    This will create a components directory in resources/js directory.

  • Step 3: After running any of the above preset commands, we will have to install the npm, if it is not installed, to install run the following command.
    npm install

  • Step 4: Now we have to run the following npm command to compile the scaffolding.
    npm run dev

Generate Scaffolding with Authentication: Have to complete Generate Scaffolding Step 1 then follow the below steps.

  • step 1: To generate a scaffolding with view files for authentication like login and register, then we just have to add ‘–auth’ at the end of the commands that we saw previously, as follows:
    • Bootstrap
      php artisan ui bootstrap --auth
    • Vue
      php artisan ui vue --auth
    • React
      php artisan ui react --auth

    This will create components directory in resources/js directory and also creates auth and layouts directory with a home.blade.php file in resources/views directory.

  • Step 2: After running any of the above preset commands, we will have to install the npm if it is not installed, to install run the following command.
    npm install

  • Step 3: Now we have to run the following npm command to compile the scaffolding.
    npm run dev

  • Remove Scaffolding: To remove a generated scaffolding, we will run the following artisan command.

    php artisan preset none

    Note: This will delete the components directory, which was created but will not delete the file and directory, which were created during the auth scaffolding, in resources/views directory.
