Laravel Mix support

If you don't want to use an asset pipeline package like Larasset you can use jQuery-Laravel with Elixir.

# Run theses commands in your Laravel root application:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Efficiently\JqueryLaravel\JqueryLaravelServiceProvider" --force

# Optional command: if you want to use the Turbolinks package (https://github.com/frenzyapp/turbolinks#readme)
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Frenzy\Turbolinks\TurbolinksServiceProvider" --force

// Add this code in your webpack.mix.js:
mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
   .minify('public/js/app.js')
   .version();

If you use Bootstrap, you should edit the resources/assets/js/bootstrap.js, to comment or remove this line:

    window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery');

Then edit the resources/assets/js/app.js file, to replace the line require('./bootstrap'); by:

global.$ = global.jQuery = require('./jquery');
require('./turbolinks-jquery.js'); // Optional: if you want to use the Turbolinks package
require('./bootstrap');
require('./jquery_ujs');
require('./turbolinks.js'); // Optional: if you want to use the Turbolinks package

Finally, to compile the jQuery-Laravel scripts, run this Laravel Mix command:

npm run dev

Or for production (minify, versioning...):

npm run prod
