Laravel Rix

Introduction

Laravel Rix provides a clean, fluent API for defining asset build steps for your applications, powered by Rspack. It supports the common CSS and JavaScript pre-processors out of the box and aims to be a fast, drop-in successor to the webpack-based Laravel Mix.

The power of Rspack, distilled for the rest of us.

Highlights

• Rspack 2.0 under the hood instead of webpack — significantly faster builds.
• oxc as an optional, near-instant replacement for Babel (mix.oxc()).
• LightningCSS for vendor prefixing and CSS minification.
• The familiar Mix fluent API — mix.js(), mix.sass(), mix.vue(), etc.

Requirements

• Node.js >= 24

Installation

npm install --save-dev @rikcon/laravel-rix

Your webpack.mix.js and the mix CLI command work as before — only the import changes:

const mix = require('@rikcon/laravel-rix');

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
    .vue({ version: 2 })
    .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css')
    .version();

Documentation

This project is a fork of Laravel Mix; the original Laravel Mix documentation remains a useful reference for the shared fluent API. Rix-specific differences (Rspack, oxc, LightningCSS) are noted in this repository.
