Laravel API Development & Vue JS SPA from Scratch (Udemy.com)

This course far exceeded my expectations. I was wanting to review some concepts in making an API in Laravel that worked with Vue JS on the front end. I went into it thinking I would know most of the stuff. I learned so many best practices, patterns and techniques that I had no idea about. The course starts off with PHPUnit which I have not yet use. I did not expect to also learn unit testing in this course, but I am very glad I did. Now to go through a review and use the NOTES tool that only just now discovered. :)

I enjoyed the course a lot and found many interesting things I didn't know about. I would have gladly given the maximum rating, however the section 7 unit 33 didn't work in my project. Due to some unknown reason, the axios interceptor doesn't insert the api token in the request. I checked the code many times and tried to debug, posted about this in the questions section, with no result. So after that section I couldn't do anything else but just watch the rest of the units without also writing code, since all the API calls were unauthorized.

It's a very good course. Certainly it is fast paced and maybe it lacks on explanation on some parts, but the teacher is very good making the objective of the application. Personally never have used vue and was relatively easy to follow. There are some configurations if you are using Laravel 6 or 7 that have to make on your own but nothing impossible or really important. The project is a little bit simple but it covers almost everything what you need to make a working API (except for roles or much more complicated Eloquent relationships).

Im not sure if this was deliberate, but it seems there is a missing functionality in the "Search" feature. When we search for a contact, and select one from the dropdown, the link takes us to that contact, however the links to all other results in the dropdown will not work. A missing "focus = false" in the parent page I believe. Other than that, this is a clear, well structured and excellent content delivery. A masterclass indeed and I highly recommend it to devs of all levels.

Yes it was a good match for me. I have been wanting more samples of feature tests and been eager make TDD a standard practice with my development. I would have liked to see examples of unit tests with VueJS but I will look at similar courses for such examples; And because the videos were recorded ~9 months ago some of the Laravel installation steps were out of date (e.g. for setting up the Auth scaffolding had changed since the 5.x versions - https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/authentication#introduction)

After building this app, I built a time tracking app which was originally built with Laravel, but I wanted real-time functionality. I was able to implement third-party packages such as moment js and vue-multiselect easily. My app is about 95% finished, but I couldn't have done without this course. Thank you!

This is a great course for those who want to learn how to mix Vue.JS into a Laravel application and make it an SPA. It somehow offers an overall overview of Vue.JS and Laravel features, so any newcomer to both will find a lot of stuff to learn from. Victor is a great instructor to learn from. He also has a Youtube channel (Coder's Tape) you should check to more in-depth content about Laravel and Vue.JS.

I just started learning Laravel in general and having a TDD as your core principle really helps to create a robust application. This course really opened a lot of path for me, it even teaches how to use Policies and Resources that was alien to me. The instructor clearly explains piece by piece what the code does and how it would be implemented and this makes it a brilliant reference for techniques that maybe unbeknownst to many.

At no moment is advertised this is a focused Test-driven development (TDD). Most of the course is focused on TDD instead of Laravel Vue SPA. The course would last a fraction of the time without the TDD. And sadly would then be an excellent course. The learning of Laravel Vue SPA is sadly neglected because of this. There's no way to go back and look for a subject, because is a big mess of TDD tests and a little of Laravel Vue integration. Also the options on the coding software that the instructor uses will throw you off because it makes notations in between the code that is not necessary. You will type one of those notations by accident and the hole thing will blow up. The title should be TDD course on a Laravel Vue SPA example. This SPA content is just to messy and all over the place. Without the TDD this course would last just a fraction and easy to follow. You will hear a ton of big mumbo jumbo on induced errors and error fixing. It is a frustrating course specially if you don't have time to waste. Prepare to neat peak what is useful inside this big mess.

This is a good intermediate course for Laravel and Vue. I think it would pair nicely with a short general vue and laravel course, or small "laravel basics" and "vue basics" sections could be added. I really enjoyed it and it earns 5 stars Good: - TDD is good to learn - Good info on making Vue work with Laravel - Most explanations are clear enough - Course length was good, not too short and not too long Improvements - for me the CSS parts dragged on and on, I'd prefer to have a little less time spent on CSS styling, and more time spent explaining more of what VUE is really doing, how it works with JavaScript, how to debug it - in general, some more what Laravel and Vue are doing behind the scenes would be good - "of course" was said about 1000 times :P, not a big deal but not needed

If you are a beginner this is not for you, if you are an intermediate this is not for you because the presented stuff is not how Laravel should be used as a backend API with VueJs on frontend. I am very disappointed by this course, it presents code that looks written by a beginner.

It's time to dig deep into using Laravel as backend and using Vue, this instructor is well versed and providing an awesome breakdown of this process. Thanks!
