Laravel 5.2 Elixir

Question

I am using laravel 5.2 and I've successfully create all.css in public/css folder using gulp.

but when I try to use all.css in view admin.login using following line of code as defined in laravel 5.2 documentation and it not works

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ elixir('css/all.css') }}">

and when I use this following line of code it works.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ url('/public/' . elixir('css/all.css')) }}">

Is it correct? or I am missing some thing?

If you simple put all.css file into public/css location and you want to simply display this file, you can use:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset("css/all.css") }}>

However if you plan to modify this file and you don't want to have caching issues, you can put this all.css file again into

public/css then write below code into gulpfile.js

var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

elixir(function(mix) {
    mix.version("public/css/all.css");
});

now you need to run gulp in your console

gulp

Now you can use:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ elixir("css/all.css") }}>

@OzanKurt: That's why I have included original author link also :) – Ravi Hirani Jan 11 '16 at 13:32
You can link directly – Ozan Kurt Jan 11 '16 at 13:33
Yes. But one of moderators told me that when you are reffering any link then also put useful content of that link. I have included both. – Ravi Hirani Jan 11 '16 at 13:33
Please change something in your answer so that i can undo my vote then – Ozan Kurt Jan 11 '16 at 13:34
I've rev-manifest.json file in build folder than why its not working with just '{{ elixir('css/all.css') }}' why I've to give full path '{{ url('/public/' . elixir('css/all.css')) }}' – Shoaib Rehan Jan 12 '16 at 06:05
You forgot a " at the end – VJamie Feb 08 '16 at 13:27
