Nuxt JS reverse proxy load balancer on Laravel Forge
To set up a reverse proxy load balancer using Nuxt.js on Laravel Forge, you'll need to follow these steps:
-
Create a new Laravel project on Laravel Forge:
- Sign in to your Laravel Forge account.
- Click on the "Create a New Site" button.
- Fill in the required information such as the site name, domain, and database details.
- Choose a server location and size.
- Click on the "Create Site" button.
-
Install Laravel and Nuxt.js on your new server:
- SSH into your server using your preferred terminal or command prompt.
- Run the following command to install Laravel:
ssh your_server "sudo apt-get install -y apache2 php php-mbstring php-xml php-zip unzip git"
. - Run the following command to install Composer:
ssh your_server "curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | sudo php -- --install-dir=/usr/local/bin --filename=composer"
. - Clone your Laravel project repository and navigate to the project directory:
git clone your_repository_url && cd your_project_name
. - Install Laravel using Composer:
ssh your_server "composer install"
. - Install Nuxt.js using npm:
ssh your_server "npm install --save nuxt express"
.
-
Configure Laravel and Nuxt.js:
- Create a new Nuxt.js application in the
resources/js
directory:ssh your_server "cd resources/js && nuxt init"
. - Update the
.env
file in the root directory of your Laravel project with your database and application keys. - Update the
web.php
file in theroutes
directory of your Laravel project to serve the Nuxt.js application:
Route::get('/', function () { return view('welcome'); }); Route::get('/{*any}', function () { return view('welcome'); }); Route::get('/api/{any}', function () { return response()->file(base_path('resources/js/nuxt/server.js')); });
- Update the
server.php
file in the root directory of your Laravel project to start Nuxt.js:
<?php it('serves the Nuxt application', function () { $this->get('/') ->assertStatus(200); }); it('routes API requests to Nuxt', function () { $this->get('/api/user') ->assertStatus(200); }); it('passes the request to Nuxt', function () { $response = $this->get('/api/user'); $response->assertHeaderType('application/json'); }); it('triggers Nuxt middleware', function () { $this->get('/api/user') ->assertSeeText('Hello User'); }); it('can handle Inertia requests', function () { $response = $this->get('/register'); $response->assertStatus(200); }); it('can handle Inertia components', function () { $response = $this->get('/register'); $response->assertSee('Register'); }); it('can handle Inertia forms', function () { $response = $this->post('/register', [ 'name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => 'john.doe@example.com', 'password' => 'password', ]); $response->assertRedirect('/login'); }); it('can handle Inertia errors', function () { $this->post('/register', [ 'name' => 'John Doe', 'email' => 'john.doe@example.com', 'password' => '', ])->assertStatus(422); $response->assertJsonValidationErrors(['password']); }); it('can handle Inertia redirects', function () { $response = $this->get('/login'); $response->assertRedirect('/'); }); it('can handle Inertia authentication', function () { $this->post('/api/login', [ 'email' => 'john.doe@example.com', 'password' => 'password', ])->assertJsonStructure([ 'token', 'user' => [ 'id', 'name', 'email', ], ]); $this->withHeaders([ 'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $response->json('token'), ])->get('/dashboard') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertSeeText('Dashboard'); }); it('can handle Inertia logging out', function () { $this->withHeaders([ 'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $response->json('token'), ])->post('/api/logout') ->assertStatus(204) ->assertEmpty(cookie('laravel_session')); }); it('can handle Inertia middleware', function () { $this->get('/api/protected') ->assertStatus(401); $this->withHeaders([ 'Authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $response->json('token'), ])->get('/api/protected') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertSeeText('Protected'); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with parameters', function () { $this->get('/api/users/1') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('data.id', 1); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with dynamic segments', function () { $this->get('/api/users/{id}/posts/{postId}') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('data.id', 1) ->assertJsonPath('data.post.id', 1); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with query strings', function () { $this->get('/api/users?sort=name') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('data[0].name', 'John Doe'); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with multiple query strings', function () { $this->get('/api/users?sort=name&filter=active') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('data[0].name', 'John Doe') ->assertJsonPath('data[0].active', true); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with pagination', function () { $this->get('/api/users?page=2') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('meta.current_page', 2) ->assertJsonPath('meta.last_page', 3) ->assertJsonPath('data[0].name', 'Jane Doe'); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with filtering', function () { $this->get('/api/users?filter=active') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('data[0].name', 'John Doe') ->assertJsonPath('data[0].active', true); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with sorting', function () { $this->get('/api/users?sort=name') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('data[0].name', 'John Doe'); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with searching', function () { $this->get('/api/users?search=doe') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('data[0].name', 'John Doe') ->assertJsonPath('data[0].email', 'john.doe@example.com'); }); it('can handle Inertia routes with filtering and sorting', function () { $this->get('/api/users?filter=active&sort=name') ->assertStatus(200) ->assertJsonPath('data[0].name', 'John Doe
