Laravel 5 : including javascript files

First off, I have to precise that I'm quite new to Laravel and that I have a lot to learn.

In one of my controller I need to call a Javascript function. To do so, I simply

echo "<script>triggerPixel();</script>";

I'm just unsure about where to store my Javascript file containing that function.

From what I got for the moment is that I should use elixir to add a file with something like this in the gulpfile.js :

mix.scripts('myscript.js');

Is this the right way to do it or should I simply add a file in resources/assets/javascripts ? I'm a bit lost and some explanation would be welcome.

Thanks !

Put your actual .js file inside public/js folder

and then, put all your js reference in one file, for example footer.blade.php inside the resources/views folder.

Inside footer.blade.php :

<script src="{{ URL::asset('js/jquery-3.2.1.min.js') }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ URL::asset('js/custom.js') }}"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ URL::asset('js/app.js') }}"></script>

and then just call the footer inside one of your blade view using: @include ('footer')
