First off, I have to precise that I'm quite new to Laravel and that I have a lot to learn.

In one of my controller I need to call a Javascript function. To do so, I simply

echo "<script>triggerPixel();</script>";

I'm just unsure about where to store my Javascript file containing that function.

From what I got for the moment is that I should use elixir to add a file with something like this in the gulpfile.js :

mix.scripts('myscript.js');

Is this the right way to do it or should I simply add a file in resources/assets/javascripts ? I'm a bit lost and some explanation would be welcome.

Thanks !

  • When you call any javascript function or include js its not work. You should have to include all the js in footer before

    tag end.

Put your actual .js file inside public/js folder

and then, put all your js reference in one file, for example footer.blade.php inside the resources/views folder.

Inside footer.blade.php :

<script src="{{ URL::asset('js/jquery-3.2.1.min.js') }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ URL::asset('js/custom.js') }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ URL::asset('js/app.js') }}"></script>

and then just call the footer inside one of your blade view using: @include ('footer')

  • Thanks for your anwser. The problem is that I'm not using a view, I'm only using a controller to process something and during that process I need to call my JS file. – MTH Jul 20 '17 at 09:14
  • This is one of the article saying that you should not call a javascript function inside controller: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37879258/calling-javascript-function-from-laravel-controller-and-return-data – derrysan7 Jul 20 '17 at 09:18
