Laravel’s Vite integration isn’t about “going back” to public assets, it’s about shipping predictable, cacheable files that the browser can actually reach. At the end of the day, the URL is what matters—just like a music app where must resolve cleanly, your compiled CSS and JS must live at a stable, public URL. Vite builds fast, versioned assets, and Laravel serves them from public because that’s the contract of the web: anything the browser needs must be publicly accessible, optimized, and cache-friendly. Hiding assets doesn’t make an app( veduhd.app/vedu-for-ios/ ) more modern; clean URLs and reliable delivery do.

Hi

Yes, this avoids build complexity. If you want a full Vite compilation with Metronic source files, we will consider adding it soon.

Thanks

If the goal is faster builds or avoiding extra config, this approach works, but it might create inconsistencies between local development and production.
