I have an old project that was built using the Metronic Theme for its frontend and Laravel PHP for the backend. Unfortunately, we lost the complete source code for the frontend, but we still have the .vue files.
We need to rebuild the frontend using these .vue files.
Review the .vue files to understand the component structure.
Create a new project using Vue CLI and integrate the files.
Install dependencies, set up styles, and connect to the Laravel backend.

To rebuild the frontend of your project using the .vue files, here’s a general approach you can follow:
- Set Up a New Vue.js Project:
If you haven’t already, create a new Vue.js project using the Vue CLI:
bash
Copy code
vue create your-project-name
Choose the necessary options, such as Vue 2 or Vue 3, depending on the version used in your original project.
- Reinstall Dependencies:
Since you lost the original source code, you’ll need to identify the necessary dependencies used in the project. Check the package.json file (if you have it) to see which packages were installed.
Install the Metronic theme or any related UI components if used in the original project. Depending on how Metronic was integrated, you might need to re-download the theme and add it back into your project.
Example command to install dependencies:
bash
Copy code
npm install <package-name>
- Integrate .vue Files:
Copy the .vue files into the appropriate components or pages directories in your new Vue.js project.
Ensure that each .vue file has the necessary script, template, and style sections correctly defined.
Review the component structure to ensure they are properly imported and connected in the main application.
- Rebuild Layout and Routing:
Set up routing using vue-router, particularly if the original project had multiple pages or views.
Integrate the layout components from Metronic (like headers, sidebars, and footers) if they were part of the project.
- Reintegrate Metronic Theme:
If Metronic was used, ensure that the necessary CSS/JS files are imported. You may need to re-add the styles to match the look and feel of your original frontend.
If Metronic UI components were used, make sure to reinstall them and follow Metronic's documentation for Vue.js integration.
- Connect to Laravel Backend:
Ensure that your frontend can communicate with the Laravel backend, typically through APIs. This might involve setting up Axios or Fetch for making HTTP requests.
Check if you need to handle authentication, form submissions, or other data interactions with the backend.
- Test and Debug:
Once the .vue files are in place, thoroughly test the frontend to ensure all components work as expected.
Address any missing dependencies or configuration issues that arise due to the loss of the complete frontend source code.
This process will help you recreate the frontend using the available .vue files and get your project back on track.
unfortunately we don't have package.json
Hi Hisham
Do you need the source code from previous versions?
Thanks
