FullCalendar is a JavaScript library that makes it easy to create interactive calendars. It is a popular choice for creating event calendars, schedule planners, and other types of calendar-based applications.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to display events on the calendar using vue js fullcalendar components in laravel 8 apps. To implement Fullcalendar in Laravel 8 application with Vue.js we follow the following steps.
In this step, you need to install laravel latest application setup, So open your terminal OR command prompt and run the following command:
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel blog
After successfully install laravel new application, Go to your project root directory and open .env file. Then set up database credential in .env file as follow:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
DB_USERNAME=here database username here
DB_PASSWORD=here database password here
Next step, you need to run the following command:
php artisan make:model Event -m
This command will create one model name Event.php and also create one migration file for the events table.
Now open create_events_table.php migration file from database>migrations and replace up() function with following code:
<?php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
class CreateEventsTable extends Migration
{
/**
* Run the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function up()
{
Schema::create('events', function (Blueprint $table) {
$table->bigIncrements('id');
$table->string('title');
$table->date('start');
$table->date('end');
$table->timestamps();
});
}
/**
* Reverse the migrations.
*
* @return void
*/
public function down()
{
Schema::dropIfExists('events');
}
}
Next, migrate the table using the below command:
php artisan migrate
Next, Navigate to app/Models/Event.php and update the following code into your Event.php model as follow:
<?php
namespace App\Models;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
class Event extends Model
{
use HasFactory;
protected $fillable = [
];
}
You need to setup Vue and install Vue dependencies using NPM. So run the following command on command prompt:
php artisan preset vue
Install all Vue dependencies:
npm install
After that, install vue full calendar dependencies by using the below command:
npm install --save vue-full-calendar
npm install --save babel-runtime
npm install babel-preset-stage-2 --save-dev
npm install moment --save
Next step, go to routes folder and open web.php file and add the following routes into your file:
routes/web.php
use App\Http\Controllers\EventController;
Route::get('events', [EventController::class, 'index']);
Next step, open your command prompt and run the following command to create a controller by an artisan:
php artisan make:controller EventController
After that, go to app\Http\Controllers
and open EventController.php file. Then update the following code into your EventController.php file:
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use App\Models\Event;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
class EventController extends Controller
{
public function index(Request $request)
{
$events = Event::get(['title','start']);
return response()->json(["events" => $events]);
}
}
Next step, go to resources/assets/js/components
folder and create a file called FullCalendarComponent.vue.
Now, update the following code into your FullCalendarComponent.vue components file:
<template>
<div class="container">
<full-calendar :event-sources="eventSources"></full-calendar>
</div>
</template>
<script>
export default{
data() {
return {
eventSources: [
{
events(start, end, timezone, callback) {
axios.get('http://localhost:8000/events').then(response => {
callback(response.data.events)
})
},
color: 'yellow',
textColor: 'black',
}
]
}
}
}
</script>
Now open resources/assets/js/app.js
and include the FullCalendarComponent.vue component as follow:
require('./bootstrap');
import 'fullcalendar/dist/fullcalendar.css';
window.Vue = require('vue');
import FullCalendar from 'vue-full-calendar'; //Import Full-calendar
Vue.use(FullCalendar);
Vue.component('fullcalendar-component', require('./components/FullCalendarComponent.vue').default);
const app = new Vue({
el: '#app',
});
In this step, navigate to resources/views and create one folder named layouts. Inside this folder create one blade view file named app.blade.php file.
Next, Navigate to resources/views/layouts and open app.blade.php file. Then update the following code into your app.blade.php file as follow:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<title>Laravel Vue JS FullCalendar Example - Tutsmake.com</title>
<script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}" defer></script>
<link href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
@stack('fontawesome')
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<main class="py-4">
@yield('content')
</main>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Next, Navigate to resources/views/ and open welocome.blade.php. Then update the following code into your welcome.blade.php file as follow:
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">Laravel Vue JS FullCalendar Example</div>
<div class="card-body">
<fullcalendar-component></fullcalendar-component>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
@endsection
Run the following command to start the development server:
npm run dev
or
npm run watch
