How to include External CSS and JS file in Laravel 5

I am Using Laravel 5.0 , the Form and Html Helper are removed from this version , i dont know how to include external css and js files in my header file. Currently i am using this code.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <!---  css file  --->
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/jquery.min.js"></script>

I think that the right way is this one:

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

Here I have a js directory in the laravel's app/public folder. There I have a jquery.js file. The function URL::asset() produces the necessary url for you. Same for the css:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ URL::asset('css/somestylesheet.css') }}" />

Hope this helps.

Keep in mind that the old mehods:

{{ Form::script() }}

and

{{ Form::style() }}

are deprecated and will not work in Laravel 5!

Try it.

You can just pass the path to the style sheet .

{!! HTML::style('css/style.css') !!}

You can just pass the path to the javascript.

{!! HTML::script('js/script.js') !!}

Add the following lines in the require section of composer.json file and run composer update "illuminate/html": "5.*".

Register the service provider in config/app.php by adding the following value into the providers array:

'Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider'

Register facades by adding these two lines in the aliases array:

'Form'=> 'Illuminate\Html\FormFacade', 'HTML'=> 'Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade'

In laravel 5.1,

 <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{URL::asset('assets/css/bootstrap.min.css')}}">
 <script type="text/javascript" src="{{URL::asset('assets/js/jquery.min.js')}}"></script>

Where assets folder location is inside public folder

i use this way, don't forget to put your css file on public folder.

for example i put my bootstrap css on

"root/public/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css"

to access from header:

<link href="{{ asset('bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >

hope this help

Place your assets in public directory and use the following

URL::to()

example

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="{{ URL::to('css/style.css') }}">
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ URL::to('js/jquery.min.js') }}"></script>
