Database Connection

Following are some database connection possibilities. It's not mandatory to use one of them but given for demo purpose.

NOTE

We have not given any migrations with the template as it's a Vue Integration only and all the data shown are using fake-db inside resources/{ts/js} folder

For SQLite

#create database
touch database/database.sqlite

Copy file ".env.example", and change its name to ".env". Then in file ".env" replace this database configuration:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

To this:

DB_CONNECTION=sqlite
DB_DATABASE=/path_to_your_project/database/database.sqlite

For PostgreSQL

Step 1: Install PostgreSQL

Step 2: Create user

$ sudo -u postgres createuser --interactive
enter name of role to add: laravel
shall the new role be a superuser (y/n) n
shall the new role be allowed to create database (y/n) n
shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles (y/n) n

Step 3: Set user password

$ sudo -u postgres psql
postgres= ALTER USER laravel WITH ENCRYPTED PASSWORD 'password';
postgres= \q

Step 4: Create database

sudo -u postgres createdb laravel

Step 5: Copy file ".env.example", and change its name to ".env". Then in file ".env" replace this database configuration:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

To this:

DB_CONNECTION=pgsql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=5432
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=laravel
DB_PASSWORD=password

For MySQL

Copy file ".env.example", and change its name to ".env". Then in file ".env" complete this database configuration:

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=laravel
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
