Been struggling with this for days now.

I've installed a fresh laravel 5.5 application which in which I was planning to use VueJS. Onfurtunately I couldn't get it to work because it was loading the files but didn't execute them.

So my only solution is to use normal JS files. So I have two files:

* js/app.js
* js/script.js

app.js:

```
$(document).ready(function(){
    console.log('app test js');
});

alert('app loaded');

```

script.js:

```
$(document).ready(function(){
    console.log('script test js');
});

alert('script loaded');

```

In my console I can see the '$document ready' but there are no alerts or console.log's shown for the js/app.js and js/script.js. I can see the scripts are loaded and that my code is present.

Really hope someone can help me out since I'm now not able to proceed.

Down below are all the files that are used.

I have the following folder structure:

```
views/directevents/index.blade.php

```

index.blade.php

```
@extends('directevents.components.app')

@section('title', 'home')

@section('content')
<h1 class="page-title">
    Welkom bij Direct Events
</h1>

    Direct events is een evenementen bureau dat zich richt op thema evenementen.

    doel is om zowel de standhouders als de bezoekers een onvergetelijke dag te
