Using Bower with Laravel 5.2 and Laravel Elixir

Using Bower with Laravel 5.2 and Laravel Elixir.md

• Install bower by following instruction at bower.io
• Make bower knows where should it keeps downloaded/installed packages
  • Create .bowerrc at the root of project directory with the following content:

    {
      "directory": "vendor/bower_components"
    }

This will tell bower to use vendor/bower_components as its default directory

• Put .bowerrc in .gitignore file
• Update gulpfile.js

elixir(function(mix) {
  mix.scripts([
    .. list of scripts to combine ..
  ], '<outfile filepath>', '<base dir to look for those files in the list>');
  
  mix.styles([
    .. list of styles to combine ..
  ], '<outfile filepath>', '<base dir to look for those files in the list>');

  mix.copy('<from dir or file>', '<to dir or file>');
});

** If use `mix.version()` the output file will be placed in side `public/build` directory **
