Use the following steps to install Bootstrap 5 in the laravel 9 with Vite.
- Install Laravel Project
- Install Laravel UI For Bootstrap 5
- Setup Auth Scaffolding with Bootstrap 5
- Install NPM Dependencies
- Import vite.config.js Bootstrap 5 Path
- Update bootstrap.js
- Import Bootstrap 5 SCSS in JS Folder
- Replace mix() with @vite Blade directive
- Running Vite Command to build Asset File
- Start the Local server
Step 1: Install Laravel Project
Installing a fresh new laravel application, so head over to the terminal, type the command, and create a new laravel app.
composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel:^9.0 laravel9-bootstrap5-viteor, if you have installed the Laravel Installer as a global composer dependency:
laravel new laravel9-bootstrap5-viteStep 2: Install Laravel UI For Bootstrap 5
Next, you need to run the below command in your terminal
composer require laravel/uiStep 3: Setup Auth Scaffolding with Bootstrap 5
php artisan ui bootstrap --authStep 4: Install NPM Dependencies
Run the following command to install frontend dependencies:
npm installStep 5: Import vite.config.js Bootstrap 5 Path
First, you need to change vite.config.js and add the bootstrap 5 path & remove resources/css/app.css
import { defineConfig } from 'vite';
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin';
import path from 'path'
export default defineConfig({
plugins: [
laravel([
'resources/js/app.js',
]),
],
resolve: {
alias: {
'~bootstrap': path.resolve(__dirname, 'node_modules/bootstrap'),
}
},
});Step 6: Update bootstrap.js
We need to use import instead of require.
import loadash from 'lodash'
window._ = loadash
import * as Popper from '@popperjs/core'
window.Popper = Popper
import 'bootstrap'
/**
* We'll load the axios HTTP library which allows us to easily issue requests
* to our Laravel back-end. This library automatically handles sending the
* CSRF token as a header based on the value of the "XSRF" token cookie.
*/
import axios from 'axios'
window.axios = axios
window.axios.defaults.headers.common['X-Requested-With'] = 'XMLHttpRequest';
/**
* Echo exposes an expressive API for subscribing to channels and listening
* for events that are broadcast by Laravel. Echo and event broadcasting
* allows your team to easily build robust real-time web applications.
*/
// import Echo from 'laravel-echo';
// window.Pusher = require('pusher-js');
// window.Echo = new Echo({
// broadcaster: 'pusher',
// key: process.env.MIX_PUSHER_APP_KEY,
// cluster: process.env.MIX_PUSHER_APP_CLUSTER,
// forceTLS: true
// });Step 7: Import Bootstrap 5 SCSS in JS Folder
Now you need to import bootstrap 5 SCSS path in you resources/js/app.js or resources/js/bootstrap.js
resources/js/app.js
import './bootstrap';
import '../sass/app.scss'Step 8: Replace mix() with @vite Blade directive
When using Vite, you will need to use the @vite Blade directive instead of the mix() helper. remove mix helper and add @vite directive.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('css/app.css') }}">
<script src="{{ mix('js/app.js') }}" defer></script>use @vite directive
@vite(['resources/js/app.js'])views/layouts/app.blade
<!doctype html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<!-- CSRF Token -->
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<title>{{ config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>

<link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//fonts.gstatic.com">
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Nunito" rel="stylesheet">
@vite(['resources/js/app.js'])
</head>
<body>
<div id="app">
<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-md navbar-light bg-white shadow-sm">
<div class="container">
<a class="navbar-brand" href="{{ url('/') }}">

</a>
<button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-bs-toggle="collapse" data-bs-target="#navbarSupportedContent" aria-controls="navbarSupportedContent" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="{{ __('Toggle navigation') }}">
<span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
</button>
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarSupportedContent">
<!-- Left Side Of Navbar -->
<ul class="navbar-nav me-auto">
</ul>
<!-- Right Side Of Navbar -->
<ul class="navbar-nav ms-auto">
<!-- Authentication Links -->
@guest
@if (Route::has('login'))
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ route('login') }}">{{ __('Login') }}</a>
</li>
@endif
@if (Route::has('register'))
<li class="nav-item">
<a class="nav-link" href="{{ route('register') }}">{{ __('Register') }}</a>
</li>
@endif
@else
<li class="nav-item dropdown">

</a>
<div class="dropdown-menu dropdown-menu-end" aria-labelledby="navbarDropdown">
<a class="dropdown-item" href="{{ route('logout') }}"

document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">

</a>
<form id="logout-form" action="{{ route('logout') }}" method="POST" class="d-none">

</div>
</li>
@endguest
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</nav>
<main class="py-4">
@yield('content')
</main>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Step 9: Running Vite Command to build Asset File
You need to npm run build command to create asset bootstrap 5.
npm run buildStep 10: Start the Local server
Now open a new terminal and execute the following command from your terminal to run the development server.
php artisan servePara hacerlo funcionar en desarrollo hay que apuntar un subdominio específico para el vite e instalar el plugin de ssl del mkcert que genera un certificado auto signed para ese subdominio.
Igualmente hay que ver el código fuente y darle al menos una vez a aceptar el certificado.
https://github.com/liuweiGL/vite-plugin-mkcert
npm install vite-plugin-mkcert -DMy final vite.config.js file looked like this:
import laravel from 'laravel-vite-plugin'
import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import mkcert from'vite-plugin-mkcert'
export default defineConfig({
server: {
https: true,
host: 'vite.myproject.test',
},
plugins: [
mkcert(),
laravel({
input: [
'resources/css/app.css',
'resources/js/app.js',
],
refresh: true,
}),
],
})
