Install vue:

php artisan preset vue

Install npm:

Step 5: Update Components

Here, we will write code on components, So let's update file and put bellow code:

resources/assets/js/components/ExampleComponent.vue

<template>
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row justify-content-center">
            <div class="col-md-8">
                <div class="card">
                    <div class="card-header">Laravel Vue Datatables Component Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</div>
  
                    <div class="card-body">
                        <datatable :columns="columns" :data="rows"></datatable>
                        <datatable-pager v-model="page" type="abbreviated" :per-page="per_page"></datatable-pager>
  
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</template>
  
<script>
  
    import DatatableFactory from 'vuejs-datatable';
  
    export default {
        components: { DatatableFactory },
        mounted() {
            console.log('Component mounted.')
        },
        data(){
            return {
                columns: [
                        {label: 'id', field: 'id'}, 
                        {label: 'Name', field: 'name'},
                        {label: 'Email', field: 'email'}
                    ],
                rows: [],
                page: 1,
                per_page: 10,
            }
        },
        methods:{
            getUsers: function() {
                axios.get('/users').then(function(response){
                    this.rows = response.data;
                }.bind(this));
            }
        },
        created: function(){
            this.getUsers()
        }
    }
</script>

Step 6: Update welcome.blade.php

At last step, we will update our welcome.blade.php file. in this file we will use app.js file and use it, so let's update.

resources/views/welcome.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
        <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <title>Laravel Vue Datatables Component Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</title>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">
        <link href="{{asset('css/app.css')}}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div id="app">
            <example-component></example-component>
        </div>
        <script src="{{asset('js/app.js')}}" ></script>
    </body>
</html>

Now you have to run below command for update app.js file:

npm run dev
