How can I minify my JavaScript and css files all in one?
currently I have:
let mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.styles([
'theme/admin/assets/css/bootstrap.css',
'theme/admin/assets/font-awesome/css/font-awesome.css',
'theme/admin/assets/css/zabuto_calendar.css',
'theme/admin/assets/lineicons/style.css',
'theme/admin/assets/css/style.css',
'theme/admin/assets/css/style-responsive.css',
'css/adminstyle.css'
], 'public/css/admin.css');
mix.scripts([
'theme/admin/assets/js/jquery.min.js',
'theme/admin/assets/js/bootstrap.min.js',
'theme/admin/assets/js/jquery.dcjqaccordion.2.7.js',
'theme/admin/assets/js/jquery.scrollTo.min.js',
'theme/admin/assets/js/jquery.nicescroll.js',
'theme/admin/assets/js/jquery.sparkline.js',
'theme/admin/assets/js/common-scripts.js',
'theme/admin/assets/js/zabuto_calendar.js'
], 'public/js/admin.js');
in my webpack.mix.js file but it creates empty files.
You have to use full path starting from the root directory of your Laravel application.
So instead of:
'theme/admin/assets/css/bootstrap.css'
As you've said that theme is under public, you should do this:
'public/theme/admin/assets/css/bootstrap.css'
Do this update on the rest of your URLs

How can I compile JS without merging on Laravel mix?
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.js('resources/js/*', 'public/js');
The code above results in all the js files in the js directory being merged into one file.
But, I want to get a result like below code.
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.js('resources/js/a.js', 'public/js/a.js');
mix.js('resources/js/b.js', 'public/js/b.js');
...
mix.js('resources/js/z.js', 'public/js/z.js');
You can use copy.
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.copy('resources/js', 'public/js');
Above will copy entire files inside resources/js into public/js directory.
Given the webpack.mix.js of a fresh Laravel project :
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Mix Asset Management
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Mix provides a clean, fluent API for defining some Webpack build steps
| for your Laravel application. By default, we are compiling the Sass
| file for the application as well as bundling up all the JS files.

*/
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
What is the equivalent using just webpack and a webpack.config.js? (Im looking to remove laravel mix as a dependency on an existing project.)
I did find this default file in the source but it did not help me. Is there a way I can see the "compiled/resulting" webpack configuration or a template/starting point that corresponds to laravel mix default settings?
You can, but the result is not very satisfactory.
Create a JS script with this:
console.log (JSON.stringify(
require('./node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js'), null, 4)
);
and save it in the root folder of your laravel project. Run it with Node and the output will be the configuration object Laravel Mix receives and inputs to webpack.
However, this file is very long and covers a vast amount of settings, which you wouldn't need if you made your file from scratch. Yes, you could try and remove every extra setting you think you can remove without breaking your output, but in the end it's better to learn how Webpack works so you can write better, mode adjusted configs. At least you can use it to understand how it does certain things.
Just put into webpack.mix.js
Mix.listen('configReady', function (config) {
RegExp.prototype.toJSON = RegExp.prototype.toString;
console.log(JSON.stringify(config));
});
So you will get webpack config from your laravel.mix.
With recent laravel-mix you just need to invoke mix.dump() (in the webpack.mix.js script).
The file you referenced seems to point exactly to the default configuration. Why did this not help?
In order to migrate you could
Learn the basics
Extract the dependencies from Laravel mix aÇıd add them to your package.json
Hint: The dependencies there are your devDependencies
Start by installing npm install --save-dev everything "webpack", "babel" and prefixed with "-loader".
If you need Sass and extracted css - npm install --save-dev node-sass sass-loader mini-css-extract-plugin.
Minimal example of a webpack config for your mix example from above would be
const path = require('path');
const MiniCssExtractPlugin = require('mini-css-extract-plugin');
module.exports = {
entry: './resources/js/app.js',
output: {
filename: 'js/[name].js',
path: path.join(__dirname, 'public')
},
plugins: [
new MiniCssExtractPlugin({
filename: 'css/[name].css'
})
],
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.(sa|sc|c)ss$/,
use: [
{
loader: MiniCssExtractPlugin.loader,
},
'css-loader',
'sass-loader'
]
}
]
}
};
Learn the more advanced basics for your use case
I have a Laravel application. Currently there's a single package.json file in the root of the project that has scripts to build the frontend app.js and app.css as well as backend.
Can I use two different ones that would be in frontend/package.json and backend/package.json so that front-end has only front end related packages and scripts while the backend has only backend related packages and scripts.
Thoughts?
In Laravel5, we have laravel-mix that can help you do that easily. In the root directory of your project, there is a file known as webpack.mix.js, and in it by default there are the following:
mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
If you want to have separate js and scss files, just add here. Say you want to add theme.js and theme.scss for the frontend, just include as follows:
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.js('resources/js/theme.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
.sass('resources/sass/theme.scss', 'public/css');
Of course don't forget to add the corresponding files inside the resources/js (changed from laravel 5.5 onwards) and resources/sass respectively.
I have installed datatables with npm by help of this doc, now I'm not sure how I can add datatables css and js files to my app.css and app.js
Downloaded files by NPM
Code
my webpack.mix.js
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
//laravel default to make app.css and app.js
// I want add Datatables to these files
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
//my template files
mix.combine([
'public/theme/primary/js/jquery.min.js',
'public/theme/primary/js/popper.min.js',
'public/theme/primary/js/bootstrap.min.js',
'public/theme/primary/js/uza.bundle.js',
'public/theme/primary/js/default-assets/active.js'
], 'public/js/combined.js');
Any idea?
Solved
I added this code to my bootstrap.js under require('bootstrap');
require( '../../node_modules/datatables.net/js/jquery.dataTables.js' );
require( '../../node_modules/datatables.net-bs4/js/dataTables.bootstrap4.js' );
and then added styles to my app.scss
#import '~datatables.net-bs4/css/dataTables.bootstrap4.css';
Everything works perfectly now.
Hope it help others.
To combine multiple scripts and styles you can do it this way:
mix.scripts([
'node_modules/datatables.net-bs4/js/dataTables.bootstrap4.js',
'resources/js/app.js'
])
.styles([
'node_modules/datatables.net-bs4/css/dataTables.bootstrap4.css',
'resources/sass/app.scss'
]);
This by default should create all.js and all.css files in the respective js and css public folders.
I am using Laravel Mix in Laravel 5.4 and I would like to combine to plain files and add versioning.
Reading the documentation it says
The version method will automatically append a unique hash to the
filenames of all compiled files, allowing for more convenient cache
busting
And it efectively does what it says. But is there any workaround to obtain a final combined file with versioning?
Actually I would like to join some compiled files together with other plain files and combine everything in a single versioned file.
Edit:
The code I am using is like the following
mix.sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
.combine(['public/css/app.css', 'other/component/file.css'], 'public/css/all.css')
.version();
And I would like to obtain a versioned all.css file. i.e. something like all.d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e.css.
However what I get is a versioned version of the app.css and a non-versioned version of the all.css.
Versioning/Cache-Busting for CSS and JS files
Webpack.Mix
After combining my css (using mix.styles) and js (using mix.scripts) files into two files, I had all.css and all.js.
To add versioning, I did the following:
var timestamp = Date.now();
mix.copy('public/css/all.css', 'public/css/all/all.'+ timestamp + '.css');
mix.copy('public/js/all.js', 'public/js/all/all.'+ timestamp + '.js');
OR
Write it directly when you combine your css and js files, for example:
mix.styles([
'public/css/app.css',
'public/css/custom.css'], 'public/css/all/all.'+ Date.now() + '.css').
mix.scripts([
'public/js/app.js',
'public/js/custom.js'], 'public/js/all/all.'+ Date.now() + '.js').
Blade layout file:
I created /css/all/ and /js/all/ directories. I used the scandir() php function with ordering to get all of the files in the respective directories. Then I got the first filename from the array, which in this instance was 'all.1574160664960.css'.
#php($css_files = scandir('css/all/', 1))
<link href="/css/all/{{ $css_files[0] }}" rel="stylesheet">
#php($js_files = scandir('js/all/', 1))
<script src="/js/all/{{ $js_files[0] }}"></script>
https://laravel-mix.com/docs/5.0/versioning
In webpack.mix.js:
const mix = require('laravel-mix');
mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
.sass('resources/sass/app.sass', 'public/css')
.version();
