Question

I used this tutorial to integrate bootstrap in my project:

https://laravel-news.com/2015/10/setup-bootstrap-sass-with-laravel-elixir/

This places an app.css

Answer 1

This is what worked for me in Laravel 5.3 on Windows

1. First make sure you are using the NodeJS package latest version (v6.7.0)

   Click the tab "Current Latest Features" at the URL https://nodejs.org/en/download/current/

2. Run npm install

3. Modify the file gulpfile.js to contain the following:

   elixir(mix => {
       mix.sass('app.scss')
          .webpack('app.js');
       mix.copy('node_modules/bootstrap-sass/assets/fonts/bootstrap/','public/fonts/bootstrap');
   });
   

4. Run gulp:

   gulp
   

5. Thats it.
