Laravel 6 and Bootstrap - laravel

I am new to Laravel.
When I install Laravel 6 a lot of the things that install by default in Laravel 5.8 are not evident i.e. bootstrap, vue, jquery.
I see this is package.json file.
I did not find anything that explains this and wondering if anyone has some guidance that might enlighten me.
Example:
I was trying to use bootstrap as shown in the video I was watching and found missing resources/sass files ap.scss and .variables.scss. ap.scss was empty and .variables.scss was absent. I did find them buried elsewhere in the installation; however, bootstrap did not work and any attempts I made to install bootstrap and other missing pieces wound up breaking the framework (probably something I did.)
In the meantime I am staying with a Version 5 distribution of Laravel.

Laravel decoupled what front end tech you use by default in 6.0
You can review the documentation here.

How to fix when I update composer on laravel

I trying to run my laravel 5 project on laravel 8. When I am trying to update my laravel composer. I am fetching this kind of problem.
In order to have enough coverage on the updates and changes that you need you have to look at at least 2 parts.
PHP
There will be breaking changes to the languages and updates that you would need to make in order to ensure consistent behaviours across the PHP versions. The following link should have the relevant guides to help you with this.
E.g. https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration70.php
Laravel
Look at the /upgrade portion of the Laravel documentation. You should be able to find them at https://laravel.com/docs/{version}/upgrade
E.g. https://laravel.com/docs/5.1/upgrade
Given the large number of version jumps, you might want to consider re-writing the application in a fresh Laravel 9 (or latest) installation.
Best of luck!

Why do I need to compile Bootstrap instead of using the CDN in Laravel 8

I'm a graphic designer who just started learning Laravel this week, recently I've been searching how to install the latest bootstrap version in my project correctly, which is all I need to be honest and I'm not too comfortable with other options like Tailwind.
As some tutorials and answers have suggested I ended up compiling and using a famous project named laravel/ui, sadly the resulting version comes with a few changes, that just doesn't look as good in my opinion (different fonts like Nonito, colors and margins)
So now I'm wondering...
Why is it not recommended to just add the CDN links in my master template?
Is it possible to update this compiled CSS somehow to make it look as the CDN?
Sorry if this questions might be opinion based, but I'm really out of places to ask, seems like the documentation for Laravel 8.x has removed everything related to Frontend, which are making thing even more confusing for me with all these options Laravel offers.

Laravel assets folder and bootstrap

I have started my first laravel project after I got a recommendation to use a framework.
I have started watching some tutorials and am trying to follow along, but in all the tutorials there is an assets folder inside resources with for example a _variables file. I don't have this folder, I guess it because I am using laravel version 7x and the tutorials are using an older version? I also thought bootstrap was provided with laravel, but it does not work. Have I done anything wrong or does everything seem right? I have followed a tutorial step-by-step from the start and used npm install & npm run dev, but the css file it creates is empty. I have also tried to start over with a new project, but the same happens!
Any help is appreciated!
Are you already run composer require laravel/ui? Laravel 7 has frontend scaffolding. You can read the documentation's about frontend scaffolding here https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/frontend.
Hope this help.

Laravel QR code scanner

I'm interested in adding QR Scanner to my Laravel project, I found one that suits me it's called gruhn/vue-qrcode-reader there is also a written tutorial how to install it, but I just don't know where to add those codes or files. I've installed everything the problem is that I just don't know what to edit and how.
This is a late response: but for anyone who comes across this like me...
gruhn/vue-qrcode-reader was created using VueJS a Javascript Framework. Since you use Laravel: VueJS already comes preinstalled with Laravel depending on the version you use. You should also have Npm in order to use the npm run watch (the watcher).
Follow the installation steps found at their GitHub and then Simply create a new VueJS component and paste the code found in GitHub: gruhn/vue-qrcode-reader: while having a little understanding you can easily integrate this with Laravel by mounting the component where you wish to have the scanner in your project and viola it should work as advertised.
I hope this helps a bit.
You should try this one laravel package:-

It would be best for you, because there are only few steps and that are too easy.

Laravel Homestead: Failed to mount component: template or render function not defined error

This problem is driving me mad, I have been researching and have read about the standalone and runtime version of Vue. As far as I can tell Laravel 5.4/homestead ships with the standalone version as default.
The Vue development tools in chrome show the example component so I think that part is working correctly, just cannot render the template.
I am relatively new to Vue and npm been stuck in the past with jQuery, firstly where in laravel can I check/set I want the stand alone version of Vue? If it is not that problem does any one have any ideas?
Thanks for help
VueJS supports two ways of building apps like you said.
Load all necessary scripts within your page via script tags (not combined .vue files).
Compile and bundle all your files with Gulp, Browserify, Webpack or other tools.
Can you explain what you did so far. I guess you don't compile everything down.
The comment by peaceman was the solution, I had multiple calls to elixir, I condensed down to one and it worked straight away. Thanks everyone for your help.
