Laravel 9 Tailwindcss always must npm run dev after code change

I have installed Tailwindcss on Laravel 9 and the problem is that whatever I change in the code in the blade.php files, Tailwindcss does not work. Only when I run npm run dev and refresh the page, the effect is visible.
Why after each code change in laravel blade files I have to do npm run dev otherwise tailwindcss does not work as if it does not recognize its classes.
Run npm run watch to watch for changes and recompile your styles and scripts when you save.
The npm run watch command will continue running in your terminal and
watch all relevant CSS and JavaScript files for changes. Webpack will
automatically recompile your assets when it detects a change to one of these files:

AdminLTE laravel not loading app.css and app.js in heroku server

I have a laravel project that uses Admin LTE as theme, the js and css assets compile well in localhost but when I run the same project on heroku, it says app.css, app.js, Uncaught ReferenceError: Livewire is not defined and popper js not found.
I have tried
forceScheme('https') in AppServiceProvider but it still does not work
NPM install and npm run prod
How can I solve the problem, because it seems when on the heroku server the public folder where there is the app.css and app.js is not accessible

For an example let's say I want to install fontawesome using npm and use it in my laravel project. What I know is, once I run the npm install --save #fortawesome/fontawesome-free command it creates a folder for that inside node_modules.
I don't know what should I do after npm install --save #fortawesome/fontawesome-free.
How can I get to know what to do inside resources/css/app.css and webpack.mix.js and what next for any js or css library?
You can use laravel mix, based on my experience the general step to use any css / js package from npm to laravel mix is :
npm install.
import the css needed by the library to resources/sass/app.scss
require js script needed by the library to resource/js/bootstrap.js
npm run development or npm run production to rebuild the app.css and bootstrap.js.
For fontawesome you can read further in this tutorial:

Why I always need to run npm run production to see changes

I am using Vue in laravel. When I make changes in vue code these changes doesn't appear until I run this command:
npm run production
I want to use vue without this command or at least one time should be enough
The Vue code that you write must be transpiled to vanilla javascript so that most of the browsers out there can understand it (not all browsers understand Vue or the underlying javascript version, such as ES6).
Additionally, most likely the code you write has many dependencies (including Vue itself) but also many other libraries. npm run generates a single javascript file with all the necessary code to run, but also stripping out all other portions of libraries that you don't use. If this didn't happen, it would take a lot of time to your page to load because the browser would need to load all the libraries.
You can simply run npm run watch to keep building vue into vanilla javascript code as you are working on vue components.
What does npm run watch does exactly?
In package.json file in the root folder of your laravel project, you can see that there is a script of "watch" which then runs npm run development -- --watch. Here, --watch part is important. npm run development compiles or builds vue components into ./public/js/app.js and also creates css styles in ./public/css/ corresponding to the styles that you apply inside vue components tags.
./public/js/app.js and ./public/css/*.css files are then included in php blades and it serves as vue components.
Using npm run development is recommeded while you are working on your local dev environment rather than npm run production, which command itself implies that it builds production version of vue components. In production version, vue-devtools cannot inspect vue components but it does in development version.
And as --watch part keeps its eye on vue components' chages and it builds as soon as you make any change in .vue files. So you run npm run watch once, you are good to go. No need to run npm run development or npm run production every time.
To update our code on port id need to run npm rum production command

Laravel Nova: Build Components

First post.
I'm currently building a Laravel Nova application. I'm making changes to the dashboard component - more specifically the file within the "resources/js/views/Dashboard.vue".
I'm struggling to build the component - does anyone know how to build the component? I have some code which runs webpack.mix to build my JS and SCSS files, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't include the files within the Laravel Nova instance.
Any help will be great.
EXTRA:
I've already tried run the webpack command to build from inside the Laravel Nova instance but it errors out.
UPDATE
I found renaming my webpack.mix.js.dist to webpack.mix.js, running npm run dev whilst within the ./nova directory worked... but only after running php artisan nova:publish
I've wrote a command to compile all these steps but do I have to run php artisan nova:publish everytime, just seems...tedious?
By default, Nova's JavaScript is compiled for production. As such, you will not be able to access the Vue DevTools out of the box without compiling Nova's JavaScript for development. To accomplish this, you may use the following terminal commands from the root of your Nova project:
cd ./vendor/laravel/nova
mv webpack.mix.js.dist webpack.mix.js
npm install
npm run dev
rm -rf node_modules
cd -
php artisan nova:publish
