Why is gulp not available in Laravel 6 for production version?


I recently developed Laravel application with React Front end! I need to know how can I create production version of this project!

in the package.json file i see there is option for npm run production but I dont see any option for composer production build or anything for Laravel. Can someone guide me please. I have read the official documentation it doesn't mention gulp or any other command.

My Package.json File

{
"private": true,
"scripts": {
    "dev": "npm run development",
    "development": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "watch": "npm run development -- --watch",
    "watch-poll": "npm run watch -- --watch-poll",
    "hot": "cross-env NODE_ENV=development node_modules/webpack-dev-server/bin/webpack-dev-server.js --inline --hot --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js",
    "prod": "npm run production",
    "production": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production node_modules/webpack/bin/webpack.js --no-progress --hide-modules --config=node_modules/laravel-mix/setup/webpack.config.js"
},
"devDependencies": {
    "@babel/preset-react": "^7.0.0",
    "axios": "^0.19",
    "bootstrap": "^4.0.0",

}


Solution

  • Gulp is not anymore recommended.
    But still, you can find some documentation on Laravel v5.3 : https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/elixir

    See on Github the version at the time (package.json and gulpfile.js) : https://github.com/laravel/laravel/tree/5.3
