Laravel Mix & Font Awesome Setup: Compiling Assets

This document provides help on getting your Laravel instance running with the latest versions of Laravel Mix and Font Awesome. Note: This guide is for Laravel versions 5 through 7. If you are using Laravel 8, please go here.

Steps

Before triggering Laravel Mix, make sure that Node.js and NPM are installed on your machine.

node -v
npm -v

Install Node dependencies.

npm install

Next, build your webpack.mix.js configuration.

const mix = require('laravel-mix');

mix.setPublicPath('public')
mix.setResourceRoot('../');

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

Install the latest free version of Font Awesome via the npm package manager.

npm install -D @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

The following dependency entry should now be in your package.json.

// Font Awesome
"devDependencies": {
    "@fortawesome/fontawesome-free": "^5.15.3",

In /resources/sass/app.scss import one or more styles.

// Font Awesome
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands';

Compile your assets and produce a minified, production-ready build.

npm run production

Finally, reference your generated CSS file in your Blade template/layout.

<link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="{{ mix('css/app.css') }}">

Happy Mixing!
