This is a mom question, but none of solutions has worked so far. I'm using Laravel 10 with Vite, installed Bootstrap with NPM and the configuration was ok to use bootstrap css and bootstrap icons, but I can't load boostrap js, which is necessary to make it work modals, toasts, pop-ups, etc.

vite.config.js:

export default defineConfig({
    plugins: [
        laravel({
            input: ['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'],
            refresh: true,
        }),
    ],
    resolve: {
        alias: {
            '~bootstrap': path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/bootstrap"),
            '~bootstrap-icons': path.resolve(__dirname, "node_modules/bootstrap-icons/font")
        }
    }
});

resources/js/app.js

import * as bootstrap from 'bootstrap';

Importing files in the main blade.php layout (where all other pages extend):

...
@vite(['resources/css/app.css', 'resources/js/app.js'])
...

And the blade.php page where the error occurs (bootstrap is not defined)

...
<script>
    window.onload = () => {
        const toastLiveExample = document.querySelector("#liveToast")
        const toast = new bootstrap.Toast(toastLiveExample)
        toast.show()
    }
</script>

In app.js file. You can define window.bootstrap = bootstrap so that you can use it in your blade.

import * as bootstrap from 'bootstrap';
window.bootstrap = bootstrap;
