Laravel app.js and bootstrap.js are not included?

Question

I installed a fresh Laravel 5.8 and included the

<script src="{{asset('js/app.js')}}"></script>

at the bottom of welcome.blade.php. To avoid error, set a div with id=app.

If I write alert(123) inside public/js/app.js it will be alerted when I visit this page and it is ok. I noticed that in line 60329 of public/js/app.js it has

webpack_require(/*! C:\xampp\htdocs\br1\resources\js\app.js */"./resources/js/app.js");

sounds it includes the resources\js\app.js and resources\js\app.js includes resources\js\bootstrap.js

When I write the alert(22) in resources\js\app.js or resources\js\bootstrap.js nothing will be alerted while it must alert something.

Thanks in advance.

The public/js/app.js file is a file built from the resources in resources/js/app.js. If you want to modify the javascript, you should update the resources/js/app.js and compile these resources using npm run dev in your terminal.

More information about compiling resources can be found in the documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/mix

Your laravel application is loading javascript from public/app.js. That is why when you add the alert directly in public/app.js the alert shows up just as you would expect. To update this file after making changes to resources/js/app.js you would have to run the npm run dev command from the terminal. This will compile the code in resources/js/app.js and consequently update public/app.js
