Using Vue.js components in Laravel templates

1. Use Vue 3 Composition API with SFC Mode: Use Vue 3 Composition API with SFC (Single File Component) mode for new projects or components. This provides a natural JavaScript feel and future-proofing for vapor mode[1].

2. Folder Structure: Organize your Vue.js components in a logical folder structure. This includes top-level folders for Layouts, Components, and Pages, with subfolders for Services, Containers, Store, Utils, and Widgets[1].

3. Pages:
- Minimum API Calls: Try to use the minimum number of API calls per page for fetching initial data.
- Async Mounted: Use async mounted and await API calls. First, call the main API to load main data, then call other APIs to load dropdown data. Perform all data assignment operations at the end of mounted[1].

4. Components:
- Component Structure: Keep component subfolder structure the same as pages to quickly find and recognize components.
- Common Components: Place common components like buttons and inputs in the Widgets folder or a shared subfolder inside components.
- Section Tag: Use the Section tag as the parent tag in all non-functional major components for easier debugging[1].

5. Services: Import APIs from a separate file to keep them structured and trackable. This helps keep APIs organized by model[1].

6. Vue and Laravel Integration:
- General Vue Component: Put general Vue components and other frameworks (like Axios) in the `app.js` file.
- Blade View: Create a new instance of Vue in each Blade view template[2].

7. Component Properties: Use component properties to pass dynamic endpoints to components. This allows for easier dynamic URL generation using Laravel's URL helpers[5].

8. Component Lifecycle: Use Vue's lifecycle methods to fetch data and handle errors. For example, use the `created` lifecycle method to fetch data when the component is created[5].

9. Error Handling: Catch and handle errors properly in your Vue components. This ensures that your application remains stable and user-friendly even in the event of errors[5].

10. Styling and Animation: Use Vue's built-in support for animations and transitions to enhance the user experience. This can include animations for component transitions and styling for component elements[3].

By following these best practices, you can effectively integrate Vue.js components with Laravel templates and build robust and scalable web applications.
