I'm sure I'm missing something here but not sure what. According to the Laravel documentation:
Laravel's package.json file includes the bootstrap package to help you get started
According to the instructions:
Before compiling your CSS, install your project's frontend dependencies using
Following this I run npm install then I run npm run dev
From here I test it out using a simple form in a blade file called 'options.blade.php
In my blade file I load assets like so.
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{url('assets/js/app.js')}}"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{url('assets/css/app.css')}}">
My expected results would be that the bootstrap css would be usable "right out of the box". The layout appears with no css style loaded.
I can confirm public/css/app.css and public/js/app.js exists.
This is specifically related to using bootstrap as Laravel says preset. I know how to add the css links from cdn or local if needed but wanted to do it out of the box with Laravel.
