Add bower to handle all the front end dependencies

npm install -g bower

Setup bower to change the default folder of the dependencies:

https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/laravel-5-bower

http://jordijoan.me/integrating-bower-laravel/

Create a bower.json file to declare the front end dependencies.

Then install them:

bower install

The chosen stylesheet engine is sass

To compile the sass files you can add a watcher or compile them with grunt, gulp or directly.

Laravel by default has a gulpfile, but first gulp has to be added to the project:

npm install gulp

Then alter the gulpfile (gulpfile.js) to include your custom scss files and run gulp:

gulp

npm install --save-dev gulp-strip-debug
