A new project

Click the above "Open in Gitpod" button to start a new workspace. Once you're ready to push your first code changes, Gitpod will guide you to fork this project so you own it.

An existing project

To get started with Laravel with MySQL on Gitpod, add a .gitpod.yml file which contains the configuration to improve the developer experience on Gitpod. To learn more, please see the Getting Started documentation.

Notes & caveats

The database does not get automatically migrated. Once started, we should run php artisan migrate, after the DB service is ready. It should be a few moments.

If you want to try a Laravel Breeze scaffolding, then you should be aware that files will be changed, and you will to revert some content.

You will have to do these steps:

composer require laravel/breeze --dev

php artisan breeze:install blade # or vue or react

# Revert changes on `vite.config.js` file, as accordingly on the next code block

# Then you can again recompile
npm run dev

# Go the the browser URL of port 8000. Make sure to open browser inspector, to reload all assets.

This is the look vite.config.js should be after installing the Blade flavour of Breeze. If you chose another one, let's look at what should be replaced back in:

• The dotenv import and its configuration invoke.
• The definition of extendedViteDevServerOptions, plus conditionally change it, plus adding it to the vite config object.

Here it is the final look:

import {defineConfig} from 'vite'
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin'
import dotenv from 'dotenv'

dotenv.config()

const extendedViteDevServerOptions = {}

if (process.env.GITPOD_VITE_URL) {
    extendedViteDevServerOptions.hmr = {
        protocol: 'wss',
        host: new URL(process.env.GITPOD_VITE_URL).hostname,
        clientPort: 443
    }
}

export default defineConfig({
server: {
        ...extendedViteDevServerOptions
    },
plugins: [
    laravel({
        input: [
            'resources/css/app.css',
            'resources/js/app.js',
        ],
        refresh: true,
    }),
],
})
