So Laravel made their new fancy wrapper for webpack called Laravel mix.
According to the docs, you compile the frontend files by running npm run watch. The problem is that webpack doesn't detect any file changes. The only fix I've found is to add --watch-poll to the watch task config. The problem with that, is that:
it uses native file listeners to check for updates.
And the problem with that is that it uses like a 105% of your CPU. Do I really have to settle for this? Is there a smarter solution for this, or even a gulp equivalent task setup for Laravel's front-end files?
Haven't found an elegant way to do this with any gulp packages ( gulp-vueify just compiles components into js files ).
Thanks
