+# Laravel Mix
+
+  * Introduction
+
+## Introduction
+
+Laravel Mix is a legacy package that is no longer actively maintained.
+[Vite](/docs/12.x/vite) may be used as a modern alternative.
+
+[Laravel Mix](https://github.com/laravel-mix/laravel-mix), a package developed
+by [Laracasts](https://laracasts.com) creator Jeffrey Way, provides a fluent
+API for defining [webpack](https://webpack.js.org) build steps for your
+Laravel application using several common CSS and JavaScript pre-processors.
+
+In other words, Mix makes it a cinch to compile and minify your application's
+CSS and JavaScript files. Through simple method chaining, you can fluently
+define your asset pipeline. For example:
+
+    
+    
+    1mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
+    
+    2    .postCss('resources/css/app.css', 'public/css');
+    
+    
+    mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
+        .postCss('resources/css/app.css', 'public/css');
+
+If you've ever been confused and overwhelmed about getting started with
+webpack and asset compilation, you will love Laravel Mix. However, you are not
+required to use it while developing your application; you are free to use any
+asset pipeline tool you wish, or even none at all.
+
+Vite has replaced Laravel Mix in new Laravel installations. For Mix
+documentation, please visit the [official Laravel Mix](https://laravel-
+mix.com/) website. If you would like to switch to Vite, please see our [Vite
+migration guide](https://github.com/laravel/vite-
+plugin/blob/main/UPGRADE.md#migrating-from-laravel-mix-to-vite).
