By default, Laravel contains a gulpfile.js file that is used by gulp to run its tasks. The file contains a require method that includes everything needed for the tasks to run:
var elixir = require('laravel-elixir'),
/*

*/
elixir(function(mix) {
mix.less('app.less'),
});The first mix is shown as an example: app.less. To run gulp, simply type gulp at the command line as follows:
$ gulp
The output is shown here:
