No bootstrap.js file anymore in fresh laravel installations ?
Hello,
I notice that there is no bootstrap.js file generated in fresh laravel installation any more.
Furthermore the app.js is now totally empty.
Do you know if there is any reasons to this ?

No ... related to what I see when I install a fresh Laravel application.
You see no bootstrap.js and empty app.js because these files are absent/empty in laravel/laravel repository which is cloned to you every time you install new Laravel app.
The reason why these files were changed in the repository are described by the link I provided.
Something tells me it is related to some Axios vulnerabilities recently discovered.
Sorry maybe I don't fully understand the question...

@vincent15000 It became redundant when Laravel removed Axios from the the default installation, given all bootstrap.js did was import Axios: https://github.com/laravel/laravel/blob/12.x/resources/js/bootstrap.js
