Alternatives

Full shop application

If you want to set up a new application or test Aimeos, we recommend the Aimeos shop distribution. It contains everything for a quick start and you will get a fully working online shop in less than 5 minutes:, _(*11)

:star: Aimeos shop distribution, _(*12)

Headless distribution

If you want to build a single page application (SPA) respectively a progressive web application (PWA) yourself and don't need the Aimeos HTML frontend, then the Aimeos headless distribution is the right choice:, _(*13)

:star: Aimeos headless distribution, _(*14)

Supported versions

Currently, the Aimeos Laravel packages 2023.10 and later are fully supported:, _(*15)

LTS release: 2024.10+ (Laravel 10.x and 11.x)
Old LTS release: 2023.10 (Laravel 9.x, 10.x and 11.x)

If you want to upgrade between major versions, please have a look into the upgrade guide!, _(*16)

Requirements

The Aimeos shop distribution requires: - Linux/Unix, WAMP/XAMP or MacOS environment - PHP >= 8.1 - MySQL >= 5.7.8, MariaDB >= 10.2.2, PostgreSQL 9.6+, SQL Server 2019+ - Web server (Apache, Nginx or integrated PHP web server for testing), _(*17)

If required PHP extensions are missing, composer will tell you about the missing dependencies., _(*18)

If you want to upgrade between major versions, please have a look into the upgrade guide!, _(*19)

Database

Make sure that you've created the database in advance and added the configuration to the .env file in your application directory. Sometimes, using the .env file makes problems and you will get exceptions that the connection to the database failed. In that case, add the database credentials to the resource/db section of your ./config/shop.php file too!, _(*20)

If you don't have at least MySQL 5.7.8 or MariaDB 10.2.2 installed, you will probably get an error like, _(*21)

Specified key was too long; max key length is 767 bytes

To circumvent this problem, drop the new tables if there have been any created and change the charset/collation setting in ./config/database.php to these values before installing Aimeos again:, _(*22)

'connections' => [
    'mysql' => [
        // ...
        'charset' => 'utf8',
        'collation' => 'utf8_unicode_ci',
        // ...
    ]
]

Caution: Also make sure that your MySQL server creates InnoDB tables by default as MyISAM tables won't work and will result in an foreign key constraint error!, _(*23)

If you want to use a database server other than MySQL, please have a look into the article about supported database servers and their specific configuration. Supported are:, _(*24)

MySQL, MariaDB (fully)
PostgreSQL (fully)
SQL Server (fully)

Make sure, you use one of the supported database servers in your .env file, e.g.:, _(*25)

DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=aimeos
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=

Caution: The SQLite database configured by default is NOT supported!, _(*26)

Installation

The Aimeos Laravel online shop package is a composer based library. It can be installed easiest by using Composer 2.1+ in the root directory of your existing Laravel application:, _(*27)

wget https://getcomposer.org/download/latest-stable/composer.phar -O composer

Then, add these lines to the composer.json of the Laravel skeleton application:, _(*28)

    "prefer-stable": true,
    "minimum-stability": "dev",
    "require": {
        "aimeos/aimeos-laravel": "~2024.10",
        ...
    },
    "scripts": {
        "post-update-cmd": [
            "@php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-assets --ansi --force",
            "@php artisan vendor:publish --tag=public --ansi",
            "\\Aimeos\\Shop\\Composer::join"
        ],
        ...
    }

Afterward, install the Aimeos shop package using, _(*29)

php composer update -W, _(*30)

In the last step, you must now execute these artisan commands to get a working or updated Aimeos installation:, _(*31)

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=config --tag=public
php artisan migrate
php artisan aimeos:setup --option=setup/default/demo:1

In a production environment or if you don't want that the demo data gets installed, leave out the --option=setup/default/demo:1 option., _(*32)

Authentication

You have to set up one of Laravel's authentication starter kits. Laravel Breeze is the easiest one but you can also use Jetstream., _(*33)

composer require laravel/breeze
php artisan breeze:install
npm install && npm run build # if not executed automatically by the previous command

Laravel Breeze will ask you a few questions, the most important one is the type of stack you want to use. Select "Blade" (it's the easiest way) and use the default values for the others., _(*34)

It also adds a route for /profile to ./routes/web.php which may overwrite the aimeos_shop_account route. To avoid an exception about a missing aimeos_shop_account route, change the URL for these lines from ./routes/web.php file from /profile to /profile/me:, _(*35)

Route::middleware('auth')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/profile/me', [ProfileController::class, 'edit'])->name('profile.edit');
    Route::patch('/profile/me', [ProfileController::class, 'update'])->name('profile.update');
    Route::delete('/profile/me', [ProfileController::class, 'destroy'])->name('profile.destroy');
});

For more information, please follow the Laravel documentation: * Laravel 11.x * Laravel 10.x * Laravel 9.x, _(*36)

Configure authentication

As a last step, you need to extend the boot() method of your App\Providers\AppServiceProvider class and add the lines to define how authorization for "admin" is checked in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php:, _(*37)

    public function boot()
    {
        // Keep the lines before

        \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Gate::define('admin', function($user, $class, $roles) {
            if( isset( $user->superuser ) && $user->superuser ) {
                return true;
            }
            return app( '\Aimeos\Shop\Base\Support' )->checkUserGroup( $user, $roles );
        });
    }

Create account

Test if your authentication setup works before you continue. Create an admin account for your Laravel application so you will be able to log into the Aimeos admin interface:, _(*38)

php artisan aimeos:account --super <email>

The e-mail address is the user name for login and the account will work for the frontend too. To protect the new account, the command will ask you for a password. The same command can create limited accounts by using --admin, --editor or --api instead of --super (access to everything)., _(*39)

Setup

To reference images correctly, you have to adapt your .env file and set the APP_URL to your real URL, e.g., _(*40)

APP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:8000

Caution: Make sure, Laravel uses the file session driver in your .env file! Otherwise, the shopping basket content won't get stored correctly!, _(*41)

SESSION_DRIVER=file

If your ./public directory isn't writable by your web server, you have to create these directories:, _(*42)

mkdir public/aimeos public/vendor
chmod 777 public/aimeos public/vendor

In a production environment, you should be more specific about the granted permissions!, _(*43)

Test

Then, you should be able to call the catalog list page in your browser. For a quick start, you can use the integrated web server. Simply execute this command in the base directory of your application:, _(*44)

php artisan serve

Frontend

Point your browser to the list page of the shop using:, _(*45)

2024.x+: http://127.0.0.1:8000/shop/search
2023.x: http://127.0.0.1:8000/shop

Note: Integrating the Aimeos package adds some routes like /shop or /admin to your Laravel installation but the home page stays untouched! If you want to add Aimeos to the home page as well, replace the route for "/" in ./routes/web.php by this line:, _(*46)

Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function () {
    Route::get('/', '\Aimeos\Shop\Controller\CatalogController@homeAction')->name('aimeos_home');
});

For multi-vendor setups, read the article about multiple shops., _(*47)

This will display the Aimeos catalog home component on the home page you you get a nice looking shop home page which will look like this:, _(*48)

, _(*49)

Backend

If you've still started the internal PHP web server (php artisan serve) you should now open this URL in your browser:, _(*50)

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin, _(*51)

Enter the e-mail address and the password of the newly created user and press "Login". If you don't get redirected to the admin interface (that depends on the authentication code you've created according to the Laravel documentation), point your browser to the /admin URL again., _(*52)

Caution: Make sure that you aren't already logged in as a non-admin user! In this case, login won't work because Laravel requires you to log out first., _(*53)

, _(*54)

Hints

To simplify development, you should configure to use no content cache. You can do this in the config/shop.php file of your Laravel application by adding these lines at the bottom:, _(*55)

    'madmin' => [
        'cache' => [
            'manager' => [
                'name' => 'None',
            ],
        ],
    ],
