Morning.

Do you mean you want to view changes to your css when you view the app in your browser? If so then this is a browser cache issue not Laravel.

A quick option to clear your local browser cache is pressing CTRL & R

A better option for your project is to use versioning with Laravel Mix (L 5.4). https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/mix#versioning-and-cache-busting

This combines all your css into one file with then creates a different name each time. This means browsers will always load your css if there are any changes:

Can I just check - are you saying:

that changes to the css file are not showing in your browser?
or that changes to your sass files are not compiling into a css file?

If you are talking about number 1 then - as a test - have you tried changing the name of your css file? This will guarantee that your browser reloads the css file

@screenbeetle and @ako_salman , isn't there any better way than changing the file name every time I make changes?
