Laravel VuetifySetup - laravel

Question

I followed a tutorial on youtube for Vuetify setup with laravel. I managed to set up the project successfully, i.e. install all dependencies as specified in the tutorial. Although in the final step, NPM watch, I get the following error in the console;
Uncaught TypeError: _plugins_vuetify__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_1__.default is not a constructor
vuetify.js code:
import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuetify from 'vuetify/lib'
Vue.use(Vuetify)
const opts = {}
export default new Vuetify(opts)

The problem is exactly lies where you exporting default Vuetify.
The best practice to this is to import Vuetify in the separate file in the plugins for example so I will keep this up with this practice.
So after running:
$ npm install vuetify --save
// OR
$ yarn add vuetify
to install Vuetify on existing applications through the Webpack or creating a new Vue.js project just like this:
$ vue add vuetify
You should follow the below instruction.
Vuetify v1.5.*
If you are using Vuetify v1.5.* follow the below instruction (otherwise, skip this to the next one)
First of all you don't have to export Vuetify in this version and you just have to import Vuetify and tell Vue to use it. So the plugins/vuetify.js should be like this (You can also directly do the following in your main.js or app.js):
// /plugins/vuetify.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuetify from 'vuetify/lib'
Vue.use(Vuetify)
NOTE: You can also define some setting in the above file within the Vue.use and pass it as an object just like this:
Vue.use(Vuetify, {/*Your setting goes here*/})
And then import it like below in your main.js or app.js:
// main.js or app.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import 'vuetify/dist/vuetify.min.css' // You also need to import Vuetify CSS file and also ensure you are using css-loader
import './plugins/vuetify' // We have assuemed the above snippet is in the plugins directory and it lies next to main.js or app.js
...
new Vue({
el: "#app",
router,
store,
render: h => h(App),
})
Vuetify v2.*.*
After adding it through your Webpack you need to locate webpack.config.js and add the following setting into your Webpack to configure the loader:
// webpack.config.js
module.exports = {
rules: [
{
test: /\.s(c|a)ss$/,
use: [
'vue-style-loader',
'css-loader',
{
loader: 'sass-loader',
// Requires sass-loader#^7.0.0
options: {
implementation: require('sass'),
fiber: require('fibers'),
indentedSyntax: true // optional
},
// Requires sass-loader#^8.0.0
options: {
implementation: require('sass'),
sassOptions: {
fiber: require('fibers'),
indentedSyntax: true // optional
},
},
},
],
},
],
}
After that just create a plugin directory and then vuetify.js file like and add the following into it:
// /plugins/vuetify.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import Vuetify from 'vuetify'
import 'vuetify/dist/vuetify.min.css'
Vue.use(Vuetify)
const opts = {}
export default new Vuetify(opts)
Then navigate to your main entry (main.js or app.js) and import it like below:
// main.js or app.js
import Vue from 'vue'
import vuetify from '#/plugins/vuetify' // We have assumed the above snippet is in the plugins directory and it lies next to main.js or app.js
new Vue({
vuetify,
}).$mount('#app')
NOTE: This much more sound like an instruction but for more information you can visit the documentation here.
