Laravel Stylesheets and JavaScript Not Loading for Non-Base Routes

Laravel Stylesheets and JavaScript Not Loading for Non-Base Routes

If you're experiencing issues where stylesheets and JavaScript files are not loading correctly for routes other than the base route in Laravel, it might be related to the way assets are being referenced.

Here's how you can resolve this issue:

1. Use the asset() Helper Function

When referencing stylesheets and JavaScript files in your views, use the asset() helper function to generate the correct URL. This ensures that Laravel generates the correct URL based on your application's configuration.

Example in Blade views:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/app.css') }}">
<script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}"></script>

2. Update Your Asset Paths

Ensure that your asset paths are relative to the public directory. For example, if your stylesheets are in the public/css directory and JavaScript files are in the public/js directory, reference them accordingly.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ asset('css/your-stylesheet.css') }}">
<script src="{{ asset('js/your-script.js') }}"></script>

3. Check Your Route Prefix

If you are using a route prefix in your routes, make sure it is correctly configured. If you have a prefix like /app for your application, adjust your asset references accordingly.

4. Clear Cache and Reload

After making changes, clear your Laravel cache and reload the page to ensure that the changes take effect.

php artisan cache:clear

Note

• Avoid using absolute paths for assets, as they may cause issues when your application is deployed to different environments.

• Ensure that your web server is configured to correctly serve assets from the public directory.

By following these steps and ensuring proper asset referencing, you should be able to resolve the issue of stylesheets and JavaScript not loading for non-base routes in Laravel.
