So you are picking up laravel and you love bootstrap or react but can’t figure how to make them work in your laravel project. Here is how to get up and running

1. Require laravel ui with composer

composer require laravel/ui

2. Use php artisan to add the ui component(bootstrap, React, Vue) as a package to be installed

php artisan ui 'bootstrap'

3. Install the package using npm

npm install

4. Compile assets using the following command

npm run dev

5. Watch for changes

npm run watch

The procedure is the same with installing react, you, however, need to replace ‘bootstrap’ with ‘react’ in step 2
