How to remove app.js in Laravel but keep vue.js?

Question

I want to remove "public/app.js" from my Laravel project, but when I do that my vue.js instance doesn't work. Is there any way to remove app.js but keep calling vue.js ?

Answer 1

If you're only wanting to include vue in your application you can either remove the code you don't want from app.js or pull in a standalone version of vue .

To just have vue in your app.js remove the require('./bootstrap'); line from your resources/js/app.js file and then run npm run dev (or npm run production ).

Otherwise, you can remove app.js entirely and use one of the methods outlined on Vue's installation page eg:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/vue@2.6.10/dist/vue.js"></script> 

You may need to change the version number.
