Basic Steps to migrate an existing project into Frest

1. First, you need to move your all views (blade) files into Frest's views folder.
2. Now, extend our layouts as per your requirement in your existing pages.
Copy

@extends('layouts/layoutMaster')

@section('title', 'Your Page Name')

@section('vendor-style')
// your vendor style files goes here
@endsection

@section('page-style')
// your page specific style files goes here
@endsection

@section('vendor-script')
// your vendor script files goes here
@endsection

@section('page-script')
// your page specific script files goes here
@endsection

@section('content')
// your page content goes here
@endsection

3. Also, move your all controller into Frest's app -> Http -> Controller folder.
4. Now, define your routes in web.php file to point your controllers.
5. Move your assets like SCSS, JS files into the resource folder. If you use our existing folder to place your assets then you no need to define your compilation in the webpack.mix.js file.
6. You can directly place your statics assets in the public folder. So, no need to compile it.
7. Move your database migration into the migration folder in our template.
8. Add your project dependency into composer.json or package.json file.
