adding custom css/js files in laravel

Question

in laravel, which one is the proper way to add custom css & js files:

• in public folder
• in resource folder

I added my custom css/js files in resource folder but not working. But it works when I added my css and js files in public folder. Need a proper way to do that.

Answer 1

You can either:

1. Drag/drop them in the /public directory

2. Place the file in the /resources directory, and in your build tool, copy the file(s)/directory(ies) from /resources to /public

If you use #1, be sure to add/include it the file(s) in your VCS.

Laravel has documentation on #2: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/mix#copying-files-and-directories
