AppShell v3.0 has been released with a refreshed user interface and several smaller but breaking changes.
Refreshed UI
Before:
After:
Minimum Requirements
The AppShell package requires PHP 8.0 or PHP 8.1 and Laravel 9.x.
Alpinejs Required, Vuejs is not
AppShell with v3.0 has replaced Vue to Alpinejs (3.10+) under the hood.
As a consequence you need to add Alpinejs to your application's frontend:
npm add alpinejs@3.10 in order to build the Admin.
Vuejs can still be kept, but it can also be removed from your application
if you no longer need it (npm remove vue).
The only difference is that AppShell no longer needs Vue, but it requires Alpinejs.
Possibly Breaking Changes
The Scripts Sections
The scripts section of the admin layout has become a
stack
(it used to be a section)
If your extra admin modules extend the scripts section, then replace
@section('scripts') references with @push('scripts'). If there are @parent()
references within the section, remove them.
