How To configure Vuejs and Laravel on nginx

Posted on May 26, 2020

I have followed the documentation to deploy Laravel and also Vuejs on digitalocean. I have a project with Laravel backend and Vuejs frontend, now what I want is when visit the site Vuejs file should be load and when I call mysite.com/api/ a Laavel api should work this is my nginx please any idea about this?

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.mysite.com mysite.com;
    root /var/www/html/accounting-vue/dist;

    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    charset utf-8;
    
    location / {
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location /api/ {
        root /var/www/html/accounting/public;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    error_page 404 /;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
        deny all;
    }
}

Hi @sarkhelsaeed,

If I understood correctly, you are using both VueJS and Laravel as a whole application however you are using VueJS only for the frontend but still located in Laravel. This would mean you’ll need to configure this in your Laravel routes rather than on your WebService level, in your case Nginx.

Another solution might be creating a redirect from your VueJS files to Laravel if someone opens the /api/ url.

Fixed, I change the nginx conf file to this

server {
    listen 80;
    server_name www.mysite.com mysite.com;
    root /var/www/accounting/public;

    add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
    add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
    add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";

    index index.html index.htm index.php;

    charset utf-8;
    
    location / {
        root /var/www/accounting-vue/dist;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
    }

    location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
    location = /robots.txt  { access_log off; log_not_found off; }

    error_page 404 /;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.2-fpm.sock;
        fastcgi_index index.php;
        fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $realpath_root$fastcgi_script_name;
        include fastcgi_params;
    }

    location ~ /\.(?!well-known).* {
        deny all;
    }
}
