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">

<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">
