ℹ️ Previously, Laravel configured several npm scripts for building assets. For Vite, Laravel configures a dev script for generating and watching your assets (for development) and build script for generating your assets (for production).

Shift automated this change by replacing commands using these scripts with their new Vite script. However, you may still be referencing these scripts in your code or in deployment scripts.

⚠️ Shift detected you are using Vue. As such, Vite recommends importing your CSS from your JavaScript entry point. This will improve your development experience by avoiding flashes of unstyled content during hot reloading.

Shift removed your CSS entry point from your Vite configuration. However, you will need to import this CSS in your JavaScript entry point.

ℹ️ Laravel renamed the environment variables used by Mix to use a VITE_ prefix, instead of MIX_. While Shift automated this change throughout your code, you should check for any additional references which may not be included in your Git repository.

ℹ️ Vite requires JavaScript files containing JSX to have a .jsx file extension. Shift did not detect any JSX in files with a .js extension under the resources folder. However, if you are using JSX, be sure the files have a .jsx extension.

⚠️ Vite generates frontend assets to the public/build folder. This folder is not tracked by Git within a default Laravel project. As such, Shift added this folder to your .gitignore file.

If you wish to track the generated frontend assets within your project, such as for ease of deployment, you may undo this commit by running git revert e5339f31.

⚠️ Shift detected you may be using the tilde (~) prefix to import CSS or JavaScript. You may try to add an alias for the ~ to your Vite configuration. Alternatively, you may update these imports to use an absolute reference or @ alias.

ℹ️ The new @vite Blade directive outputs <script> tags with the type="module" attribute. This attribute implicitly defers the script. This is a difference from Laravel Mix which may change the execution order of the JavaScript on your page.

If you experience JavaScript errors relating to undefined references, you may need to reorder your scripts or add the defer attribute to any inline <script> blocks on your page.
