Create Laravel Application ( Skip this step for existing application )

First of all, Let's create new Laravel application. For creating new application, open terminal or command prompt and run this command :

    
        laravel new BreezeExample
        //Or
        composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel BreezeExample

Database Connection With our application

After creating fresh application we need to connect it with database by providing database configuration to .env. To configure database detail like following:

    
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=Your database name
DB_USERNAME=database user name 
DB_PASSWORD=database password

Install breeze Auth Scaffolding

In this step, we will install breeze Auth Scaffolding with composer. For that first of all, change to project directory then enter below command.

    
composer require laravel/breeze --dev

This command will download all necessary files. after download completion we have to install it to our application with below command:

    
php artisan breeze:install

This command will produce output that says Breeze scaffolding installed successfully.

Database Migrations

In our application there are few migrations which is created automatically by Laravel framework. like user, failed jobs, personal access token and password reset. So we have to create database table using those migrations.

    
php artisan migrate

This command will generate database table using migrations.

Install Npm Packages and Run Production

Before completion we have to compile our assets into our project so application can run flawlessly. That can be achieved by running node js command :

    
npm install

This command will download and install all necessary files. Then we will need to compile into single file, which will improve performance of our application.
