This places an app.css

Answer 1

Bootstrap4 doesn't come with icons anymore bootstrap icons

you can use Font Awesome instead for example.

Build your webpack.mix.js configuration.

mix.js('resources/assets/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/assets/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

Install Font Awesome.

npm install @fortawesome/fontawesome-free

In /resources/sass/app.scss import one or more styles.

@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/fontawesome';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/regular';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/solid';
@import '~@fortawesome/fontawesome-free/scss/brands';

now compile.

npm run production
or
npm run dev

Finally, reference your new CSS file in your layout.
