Nginx Proxy

For Nginx you can add a proxy using the follwing location block:

server {
    location / {
        proxy_pass http://http://127.0.0.1:3000;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }
}

Process Manager

In production you need a process manager to keep the Node server alive forever:

# install pm2 process manager
npm install -g pm2

# startup script
pm2 startup

# start process
pm2 start npm --name "laravel-nuxt" -- run start

# save process list
pm2 save

# list all processes
pm2 l

After each deploy you'll need to restart the process:

pm2 restart laravel-nuxt 

Make sure to read the Nuxt docs.

Socialite

This project comes with GitHub as an example for Laravel Socialite.

To enable the provider create a new GitHub application and use https://example.com/api/oauth/github/callback as the Authorization callback URL.

Edit .env and set GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET with the keys form your GitHub application.

For other providers you may need to set the appropriate keys in config/services.php and redirect url in OAuthController.php.

Email Verification

To enable email verification make sure that your App\User model implements the Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail contract.

Notes

• This project uses router-module, so you have to add the routes manually in client/router.js.
• If you want to separate this in two projects (client and server api), move package.json into client/ and remove config path option from the scripts section. Also make sure to add the env variables in client/.env.
