I have installed Bootstrap icons into a Laravel/VueJS application using NPM, according to the instructions here, https://icons.getbootstrap.com/. What is the next step?
If I want to use the svg element in a blade template, do I need to compile it with webpack? Do I import it into a css file?
And how do I use it in single file VueJS components?
I am able to install bootstrap icons version 1.5.0 to Laravel 8 project and using laravel mix, by following these steps.
run this to install bootstrap icons into your project
npm i bootstrap-icons
add this to resources\sass\app.scss
#import '~bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons';
check webpack.mix.js file has this
mix.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
run this to compile your change to public folder
npm run dev
then you can use icons anywhere in the page (either .blade or .vue file)
<i class="bi-alarm"></i>
Happy coding!!!
There is an error in the answer of mili, because if
#import '~bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons';
is included in resources\sass\app.scss then no #font-face directive is included in my app.css file when building with npm run dev. To make appear the directive I had to add the «css» extension so the correct #import would be:
#import '~bootstrap-icons/font/bootstrap-icons.css';
But there is another problem, in this case a problem of the builder, that produces that the icons are not showed by the browser (instead appear an square meaning that the broswer could not render the svg icon). The builder generates the following directive in public/css/app.css
#font-face {
font-family: "bootstrap-icons";
src: url(/fonts/vendor/bootstrap-icons/bootstrap-icons.woff2?dfd0ea122577eb61795f175e0347fa2c) format("woff2"),
url(/fonts/vendor/bootstrap-icons/bootstrap-icons.woff?94eeade15e6b7fbed35b18ff32f0c112) format("woff");
}
Laravel does not find the files because url() does not understand the absolute path (in my development environment). If you add «..» before the two paths, then all works (the icons appear in the page):
#font-face {
font-family: "bootstrap-icons";
src: url(../fonts/vendor/bootstrap-icons/bootstrap-icons.woff2?dfd0ea122577eb61795f175e0347fa2c) format("woff2"),
url(../fonts/vendor/bootstrap-icons/bootstrap-icons.woff?94eeade15e6b7fbed35b18ff32f0c112) format("woff");
}
The problem is that every time that you run npm run dev for any other package, the ".." are automatically overwritten, so the icons are not seen any more.
I have seen other people out there with the same problem, but I do not know where should be notified the issue and the solution. I will try to find a feedback window in https://getbootstrap.com/
Install Bootstrap in your Node.js powered apps with the npm package:
Copynpm install bootstrap
require('bootstrap') will load all of Bootstrap’s jQuery plugins onto the jQuery object.
After that use npm install bootstrap-icons to install bootstrap icons onto your project and include it in your app.js from node-modules.
After that, if npm run dev runs successfully, Then add the SVG element in your Vue components.
<svg class="bi bi-chevron-right" width="32" height="32" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="currentColor" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M6.646 3.646a.5.5 0 01.708 0l6 6a.5.5 0 010 .708l-6 6a.5.5 0 01-.708-.708L12.293 10 6.646 4.354a.5.5 0 010-.708z" clip-rule="evenodd"/></svg>
For demo purposes
Q> If I want to use the svg element in a blade template, do I need to compile it with webpack? Do I import it into a css file?
Ans.> No, you need not to compile while using in blade provided you import all the bootstrap files such as js files and css files.
For me the problem was fixed removing in the webpack on the sass instruction :
.options({ processCssUrls: false })
There is no need to declare a font face.

I'm using Laravel 5.7 and i'm applying AMP to our website. (https://amp.dev/).
I'm folowing these steps to convert HTML to AMP: https://amp.dev/documentation/guides-and-tutorials/start/converting/?format=websites
One of the requirements is to replace external stylesheets to internal stylesheets (https://amp.dev/documentation/guides-and-tutorials/start/converting/resolving-errors?format=websites#replace-external-stylesheets). I've done this by doing the following code below:
<style amp-custom>
{!! file_get_contents(public_path('css/app.css')) !!}
</style>
I'm using Sass and I'm using Laravel mix to compile my assets.
This is my webpack.mix.js
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
.sourceMaps()
.version();
But upon doing this I've encountered an error in the AMP:
CSS syntax error in tag 'style amp-custom' - saw invalid at rule '#charset'.
To solve this problem, I must remove the #charset "UTF-8"; in the compiled css css/app.css. And it seems that running npm run dev, its automatically adding #charset "UTF-8"; at the top of the file. How do I remove this?
I'm thinking that I have to add some code in the webpack.mix.js to remove that. But I don't have an idea how to do this.
Yep! SASS adds this directive if your SASS contains any extended (e.g., not standard ASCII) characters. There's an open issue in the SASS project to provide an option to not do this... but they've said they won't provide that option.
For now, it's pretty easy to fix... simply add a step that your build process that hunts for #charset "UTF-8"; and removes it. You can see how I did it here:
https://github.com/ampproject/samples/blob/master/amp-camp/gulpfile.js#L63
gulp.task('styles', function buildStyles() {
const cssEncodingDirective = '#charset "UTF-8";';
return gulp.src(paths.css.src)
... (stuff removed)
.pipe(options.env === 'dev' ? replace(cssEncodingDirective, '') : noop())
... (more stuff removed)
});
If you run 'npm run production', that line will be deleted automatically and you will not get an error in AMP validation.
This is my first experience with Laravel Mix, NodeJS and NPM. I've attempted to follow the documentation from Laravel and believe I am doing it right, but who knows.
I'm attempting to combine several CSS files into one.
webpack.mix.js
mix.combine([
'resources/assets/css/components.css',
'resources/assets/css/plugins.css',
'resources/assets/css/layout.css',
'resources/assets/css/default.css',
'resources/assets/css/custom.css'
], 'public/css/all.css');
if (mix.inProduction()) {
mix.version();
}
Run
npm run dev
It appears to run fine, and outputs the following:
DONE Compiled successfully in 92ms
11:11:33 AM
Built at: 11/23/2018 11:11:33 AM
Asset Size Chunks Chunk Names /css/all.css 0 bytes [emitted] Entrypoint mix = mix.js
The file all.css is created where I expect it to be however it's empty. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
I belive that combine only works to minify and combine js files. For css you have to use styles
.styles(['inputA.css', 'inputB.css'], 'minified-output.css')
I have not found that in the docs, but I tried it and it works. Credits: https://stackoverflow.com/a/48312321/2311074
I want to add a carousel plugin into laravel.
https://github.com/OwlCarousel2/OwlCarousel2
so I run npm install --save owl.carouse and add following code into index.blade.php
<script src="/node_modules/owl.carousel/dist/owl.carousel.js"></script>
The owl.carousel.js is inside my project, but when I run npm run watch, and look at the browser, there show an error in the console:
GET http://127.0.0.1:8000/node_modules/owl.carousel/dist/owl.carousel.js 404 (Not Found)
Why is that?
You should not import it through a script tag. Add it in your bootstrap.js file
require('owl.carousel');
require() will use the node_modules as the root dir
You can of course use require in any other .js file that you then import through a script tag.
If you are using VueJs you do at the top of the vue component
import owl from 'owl.carousel'
Your web server does not have access to node_modules directory.
You'd better use gulp to copy and bundle it to public directory.
Or else if you want, you can do it manually. Copy the script to the public directory.
I usually make asset/js directory under the public and then copy owl under it.
You will have:
<script src="/asset/js/owl.carousel/dist/owl.carousel.js"></script>
Add this line in your main .scss file:
#import '~owl.carousel/dist/assets/owl.carousel.css';
Compile the css with npm run dev
You can repeat these steps for your javascript files
Edit:
If you do not make use of Laravel mix yet, read this documentation first. https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/mix
I'm using third party JS libraries in my Laravel 5.5 project (leaflet and leaflet-draw). I installed the libraries using npm:
npm install leaflet
npm install leaflet-draw
I added the folowing lines in resources/assets/js/app.js:
require('leaflet');
require('leaflet-draw');
and in resources/assets/sass/app.scss:
#import "~leaflet/dist/leaflet.css";
#import "~leaflet-draw/dist/leaflet.draw.css";
after that, I run:
npm run dev
Assets compile and my application works fine on my localhost (I run basic laravel server with php artisan serve).
I tried deploying this application to server. I deployed it to a subfolder, so the address is:
https://example.com/laravelapplication
I followed this instruction:
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-deploy-a-laravel-application-with-nginx-on-ubuntu-16-04
All routes and urls work fine. I don't get any code errors. But, leaflet and leaflet draw libraries have trouble fetching their icons and fonts. I get these errors:
GET https://example.com/fonts/vendor/leaflet-draw/dist/images/spritesheet.svg?fd5728f... 404 (Not found)
GET https://example.com/images/vendor/leaflet/dist/images/layers.png?a613745... 404 (Not found)
I'm not sure, but it looks like the library is searching for fonts and icons in the wrong place. It should look in https://example.com/laravelapplication instead of https://example.com
Does anyone know why this is happening?
If you know the actual URL these images are located in once your app is deployed, then a workaround would be to simply hard-code these locations:
For Leaflet, you can use the L.Icon.Default's imagePath option: (in your JavaScript)
L.Icon.Default.prototype.options.imagePath =
"https://example.com/laravelapplication/images/vendor/leaflet/dist/images/";
For Leaflet.draw plugin, you have to override the CSS rules: (in your CSS, make sure it is evaluated after Leaflet.draw's CSS)
.leaflet-draw-toolbar a {
background-image: url('https://example.com/laravelapplication/fonts/vendor/leaflet-draw/dist/images/spritesheet.svg');
background-image: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), url('https://example.com/laravelapplication/fonts/vendor/leaflet-draw/dist/images/spritesheet.svg');
}
.leaflet-retina .leaflet-draw-toolbar a {
background-image: url('https://example.com/laravelapplication/fonts/vendor/leaflet-draw/dist/images/spritesheet-2x.png');
background-image: linear-gradient(transparent, transparent), url('https://example.com/laravelapplication/fonts/vendor/leaflet-draw/dist/images/spritesheet.svg');
}
Well, I just installed fresh Laravel 5.4. Then installed npm and decided first time to use webpack instead of gulp.js. As you know, Laravel default provides sass Bootstrap integration. Used this command to generate my css from sass.
npm run dev
Bootstrap, Jquery worked perfect, but Glyphicons weren't displayed. Checking my public/css/app.css I saw, that Glyphicons font-face path are not suitable.
src: url(/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.eot?f4769f9bdb7466be65088239c12046d1);
If I, manually use ../fonts instead of /fonts it will work. I tried to figure out and edit the default path. In _variables.css I set:
$icon-font-path = "../fonts" - but npm gives error.
By default it is: "~bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap/"
Copied fonts folder inside puclic/css folder, didn't work.
Added options to the webpack.mix.js file:
options({processCssUrls: false})
and in _variables.css again set:
$icon-font-path = "../fonts"
Run npm-run-dev and it worked, glyphicons were displayed. But, I don't want to set false for processCssUrls. Because, in this case I will not able to minimize css files using command: npm run production.
Also, I followed this question, but couldn't find any answer, all solutions didn't work.
glyphicons not showing with sass bootstrap integration
Finally, found the solution. In webpack.config.js set:
publicPath: '../'
instead of Mix.resourceRoot
{
test: /\.(woff2?|ttf|eot|svg|otf)$/,
loader: 'file-loader',
options: {
name: 'fonts/[name].[ext]?[hash]',
publicPath: Mix.resourceRoot
}
},
