Introduction
Next Laravel Bridge is a complete NPM package that facilitates integration between Next.js and Laravel.
It provides ready-to-use solutions for:
- 🔐 Authentication (Laravel Sanctum)
- 🛡️ Access Control (ACL) (Roles & Permissions)
- 📝 Form Management (Automatic validation errors)
- 🔍 Data Fetching (React Query style)
- 📄 Pagination (Standard & Cursor)
- 📁 File Uploads
- 🔔 Notifications (Toasts)
- 📡 Broadcasting (Laravel Echo / WebSockets)
Why use this bridge?
Connecting a Next.js frontend to a Laravel API often involves repeating the same boilerplate code:
- Setting up Axios interceptors for CSRF and tokens.
- Handling validation errors (422) and mapping them to form inputs.
- Managing auth state (user, login, logout).
- Implementing pagination logic.
Next Laravel Bridge abstracts all this complexity into simple, typed Hooks and Components.
