This gist was made for Laravel 5.7, although it should work for any version. It also assumes you have a Laravel site set up and configured on a basic level (you ran composer install, npm install, created an app key, etc).

  1. Run npm install stimulus

  2. Run npm install babel-plugin-transform-class-properties --save-dev

  3. Create .babelrc file in your project root, and paste in the following content:
