Laravel Breeze - Next.js Edition - (AJ Partners Ltd Edition)

Introduction

This repository is a customized implementation of the Laravel Breeze application / authentication starter kit frontend in Next.js. Based on the original code from laravel/breeze-next, this version is tailored by AJ Partners Ltd and serves as the frontend to the Laravel API for a job search application.

Demo Application

The application allows users to search for jobs through the JSearch API. Users can create accounts, log in, and access various job search functionalities. You can find the demo of the working project here.

Note: To interact with the JSearch API, users will need to sign up on RapidAPI and obtain API access keys.

Installation

The steps for installation remain unchanged from the original Laravel Breeze Next.js Edition. Here's how you can set it up:

1. Create the Laravel backend by following the instructions here.
2. Clone this repository and proceed with the frontend setup:

# Clone the repository...
git clone https://github.com/animasoul/laravel-next.git

cd laravel-next

# Install dependencies...
yarn install # or npm install

# Copy the example env file and configure...
cp .env.example .env.local
# Set the backend URL
NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8000

# Run the application...
npm run dev

Next, ensure that your application's APP_URL and FRONTEND_URL environment variables are set to http://localhost:8000 and http://localhost:3000, respectively.

After defining the appropriate environment variables, you may serve the Laravel application using the serve Artisan command:

# Serve the application...
php artisan serve

Next, clone this repository and install its dependencies with yarn install or npm install. Then, copy the .env.example file to .env.local and supply the URL of your backend:

NEXT_PUBLIC_BACKEND_URL=http://localhost:8000

Finally, run the application via npm run dev. The application will be available at http://localhost:3000:

npm run dev

Note: Currently, we recommend using localhost during local development of your backend and frontend to avoid CORS "Same-Origin" issues.

Authentication Hook

This Next.js application contains a custom useAuth React hook, designed to abstract all authentication logic away from your pages. In addition, the hook can be used to access the currently authenticated user:

const ExamplePage = () => {
    const { logout, user } = useAuth({ middleware: 'auth' })

    return (
        <>
            <p>{user?.name}</p>

            <button onClick={logout}>Sign out</button>
        </>
    )
}

export default ExamplePage

Note: You will need to use optional chaining (user?.name instead of user.name) when accessing properties on the user object to account for Next.js's initial server-side render.

Named Routes

For convenience, Ziggy may be used to reference your Laravel application's named route URLs from your React application.
