simple way to include node_modules in laravel 5.5

Question

How do you include /node_modules in a laravel 5.5 application, i referenced this https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/mix

i can do this

npm install angular-moment moment --save

and it will make a /node_modules directory, however laravel ignores it

lets say i want to do this

<script src="node_modules/moment/moment.js"></script>

it will not work, it will show an error

i currently have this in my webpack, what will be the best way to integrate it ?

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

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

Answer 1

Just include it in your app.js so it is complied in...

var moment = require('moment');

Then access it as moment... like

moment().format();
