Creating a Quiz System with Laravel 10 + Livewire 3: Step-by-Step

Install Laravel and Livewire

First, before starting to implement all features, we need to create a Laravel project, install Laravel Breeze for quick authentication scaffolding, and Livewire for dynamic interfaces.

laravel new project
cd project
composer require laravel/breeze --dev
php artisan breeze:install blade

That's it, we have default Laravel Breeze installed:

default breeze register page

Next, we will install Livewire.

composer require livewire/livewire

Add the following Blade directives in the head tag, and before the end body tag in the resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php file.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
//
<!-- Scripts -->
@vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
@livewireStyles
</head>
<body class="font-sans antialiased">
//
@livewireScripts
</body>
</html>

Usually, we shouldn't add @livewireStyles and @livewireScripts, but without it, the user dropdown won't work.

Next, because Livewire has integrated Alpine.js we need to remove it.

resources/js/app.js:

import './bootstrap';
 
import Alpine from 'alpinejs';
 
window.Alpine = Alpine;
 
Alpine.start();

Last thing, by default, when using Livewire full-page components Livewire is set to use layouts in components/layouts/app.blade.php. We need to change that because Breeze puts layout in a different directory.

composer require livewire/livewire

config/livewire.php:

// ...
'layout' => 'components.layouts.app',
'layout' => 'layouts.app',

That's it for the preparation quick start, now we're ready to create our Livewire components, in the next lesson!
