The power of webpack, distilled for the rest of us.
This release brings Laravel Mix current with webpack 5. It additionally includes a variety of bug fixes and enhancements.
Add webpack 5 support.

After upgrading, if you encounter any vue-template-compiler issues, this is related to the fact that your installed version numbers of vue and vue-template-compiler must be identical. Update one or both to fix this issue.
npm installs.mix.extract() with zero arguments, all vendor dependencies (any package from node_modules/ that you pull in) will automatically be extracted. Nifty!mix.sass() call, if desired. 88690a2f770c071dc8160127c42a4f44decf2b56npm installs. 320cecbdb77e222e32903219905d0d8f3754c5ff.babelrc file in your project root. 83f5052eb32c498a90edace47402d66eaf80f4b7npm audit alerts have been fixed, thanks to the upgrade to webpack 4.node-sass and sass-loader dependencies were included out of the box, regardless of whether your project required Sass compilation or not. To help improve install times, these two dependencies will now be installed on-demand if, and only if, your project specifies Sass compilation with mix.sass(). The first time you run npm run dev, the dependencies will be installed and saved to your dev-dependencies list. 5b7a438bcf53bc87ccc08da09b1e816a6088dec8Important: As part of the vue-loader 15 updates, if your code uses the CommonJS syntax for importing EcmaScript modules, you'll need to append .default, like so:
Vue.component('example-component', require('./components/ExampleComponent.vue'));
// Option 1: Add .default
Vue.component('example-component', require('./components/ExampleComponent.vue').default);
// Option 2 (Recommended): Switch to EcmaScript imports.
import ExampleComponent from './components/ExampleComponent.vue';
Vue.component('example-component', ExampleComponent);
Important: Now that Mix has been updated to support Babel 7, you may need to address a few Babel-specific breaking changes. If your project pulls in extra Babel plugins that Mix does not provide out of the box, you'll need to update your local dependencies.
package.json file, change all occurrences of "babel-plugin-[name]": "6.x" to "@babel/plugin-[name]": "7.x"
.babelrc file in your project, update all plugin name references. For example, update "plugins": ["babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread"] to "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread"]
As part of our switch from node-sass to dart-sass, though support is largely identical, you may notice changes or warnings upon compilation. You may either address these one-by-one, or you can manually switch back to node-sass, like so:
npm install node-sass
mix.sass('resources/sass/app.sass', 'public/css', {
implementation: require('node-sass')
});
mix.fastSass() and mix.standaloneSass() (aliases) have been removed entirely. In an effort to improve performance for those who only need to compile CSS, this command provided Sass compilation that was separate from the core webpack build. However, it seems to be more confusing than helpful to newcomers. Migrate by switching from mix.fastSass() to mix.sass(). 3e478043f7d6cfc73442b2971727d8595b6a559f
mix.fastSass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
mix.sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');
.mix Property RemovedThe deprecated mix property has now been removed. If you have require('laravel-mix').mix in your webpack.mix.js file, change it to require('laravel-mix'). 7dc010451870c0b23d8e22fe5d0fa67714d7df5f
let mix = require('laravel-mix').mix;
let mix = require('laravel-mix');
Due to the mandatory switch from Uglify to Terser, if your project was overriding our default config with Config.uglify = {}, you'll need to switch to Config.terser = {}. The options API is largely the same.
// webpack.mix.js
mix.options({
uglify: {
uglifyOptions: {
warnings: true
}
}
});
mix.options({
terser: {
terserOptions: {
warnings: true
}
}
});
If your project does not include a mix.sass() call (which automatically downloads all necessary dependencies), but does specify lang="sass" in your Vue components, you may need to install either node-sass or sass. Because Mix doesn't know which preprocessors you specify in your Vue components, you'll need to manually pull them in. Fix it with npm install node-sass sass-loader or npm install sass sass-loader. Please note that the same is true for Less and Stylus.
npm install laravel-mix@beta
Babel 7 support! As this new version of Babel includes major breaking changes, Mix, too, needs to bump from v2 to v3. We've taken care of most the changes, however, if your project pulls in extra Babel plugins that Mix does not provide out of the box, you'll need to update locally as well.
package.json file, change all occurrences of "babel-plugin-[name]": "6.x" to "@babel/plugin-[name]": "7.x"
.babelrc file in your project, update all plugin name references. For example, update "plugins": ["babel-plugin-transform-object-rest-spread"] to "plugins": ["@babel/plugin-proposal-object-rest-spread"]
Next up, we'll be upgrading the Mix codebase to webpack 4. Stay tuned.
