Answer 1

You can achieve this with Laravel Mix.

According to this part of the documentation, you need to edit your webpack.mix.js file, and add this to the end:

mix.browserSync('127.0.0.1:8000');

It needs to match to the output of the php artisan serve command, where you found a line something like this:

Laravel development server started: <http://127.0.0.1:8000>

After this, you have to run the php artisan serve, and the npm run watch command simultaneously. You must leave to run both commands while you edit your files.

Note: The first time you run the npm run watch, it installs additional components. But the command output is quite clear on that. If everything is in order, Laravel Mix automatically opens your browser with http://localhost:3000, or something like this.
