Laravel Integration

If you are using Laravel, you won't need nuxt nitro integration.

Integration steps

  1. Enable Backend Validation and Error Parsers:
// nuxt.config.ts
export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['nuxt-precognition'],
  precognition: {
    backendValidation: true,
    enableLaravelClientErrorParser: true,
  }
})
  1. Plugin Example:

Add Sanctum token prefetch and ensure proper handling of all precognitive requests.

// plugins/laravel.ts
export default defineNuxtPlugin((app) => {
  const { $precognition } = useNuxtApp()
  const token = useCookie('XSRF-TOKEN')

  const api = $fetch.create({
    baseURL: 'http://localhost',
    credentials: 'include',
    headers: {
      'Accept': 'application/json',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
    onRequest: ({ options }) => {
      if (token.value) {
        const headers = new Headers(options.headers)
        headers.set('X-XSRF-TOKEN', token.value)
        options.headers = headers
      }
    },
    onResponse: (context) => {
      // ensure non false positive validations
      $precognition.assertSuccessfulPrecognitiveResponses(context)
    },
  })

  async function fetchSanctumToken() {
    try {
      await api('/sanctum/csrf-cookie')
      token.value = useCookie('XSRF-TOKEN').value
      if (!token.value)
        throw new Error('Failed to get CSRF token')
    }
    catch (e) {
      console.error(e)
    }
  }

  app.hook('app:mounted', fetchSanctumToken)

  return {
    provide: {
      api,
      sanctum: {
        fetchToken: fetchSanctumToken,
        token,
      },
    },
  }
})
  1. Laravel CORS Configuration:

Ensure Precognitive headers will be shared with Nuxt application.

// config/cors.php
return [
  'paths' => ['*'],
  'allowed_methods' => ['*'],
  'allowed_origins' => ['*'],
  'allowed_origins_patterns' => [env('FRONTEND_URL', 'http://localhost:3000')],
  'allowed_headers' => ['*'],
  'exposed_headers' => ['Precognition', 'Precognition-Success'],
  'max_age' => 0,
  'supports_credentials' => true,
];
  1. Enable Precognition Middleware:

Apply precognitive middleware where needed.

// routes/api.php
Route::middleware('precognitive')->group(function () {
    Route::apiResource('posts', \App\Http\Controllers\PostController::class);
});

That's it. Nuxt validation will be in sync with Laravel!!.
