Laravel-JS-Config

Easily publish your Laravel configuration to JavaScript.

Requirements

• PHP 7.*
• Laravel >= 5.2

Installation

composer require kkszymanowski/laravel-js-config

On Laravel < 5.5 add LaravelJsConfig\LaravelJsConfigServiceProvider::class to app/config.php.

On Laravel >= 5.5 the service provider should be automatically discovered.

Publish assets

php artisan vendor:publish

Configure

In config/js-config.php there are following configuration options.

Output

Path of the output file generated from the command. By default resources/assets/js/config.js

Pretty

If true, the command will format the JSON configuration using JSON_PRETTY_PRINT.

Keys

List of configuration keys to be published. Can be either a specific key(like app.env) or a group of keys(like auth.defaults)

Make sure you don't publish your application key or any passwords.

Run

php artisan config:js

Integration with Laravel Mix

To publish the configuration every time the Mix build starts follow these steps:

1. Install webpack-shell-plugin:

   # NPM
   npm install webpack-shell-plugin --save-dev
   
   # Yarn
   yarn add webpack-shell-plugin 
   

2. In your webpack.mix.js file require the plugin

   const WebpackShellPlugin = require('webpack-shell-plugin');
   

   and register it to run before each build

   mix.webpackConfig({
       plugins: [
           new WebpackShellPlugin({
               onBuildStart: ['php artisan config:js'],
           }),
       ],
   });
   

If you're using the watch option in Laravel Mix and you want to refresh the published configuration you can either restart the build or run php artisan config:js in another terminal.
