                developerName: 'Laravel Vite',
                // Your application Start URL.
                start_url: '/',
                // Your application theme color.
                theme_color: '#1a1065',
                // Your application background color.
                background_color: '#1a1065',
                // Your application background color.
                background: '#1a1065',
            }
        })
    ],
});

Favicon Configuration

The plugin is based on the favicons package. The options.favicon object accepts all the options that the favicons package accepts.

You can find the full list of parameters here.

Blade Template

The Blade template will be generated in the resources/views/includes/favicons.blade.php file. You can now use this like so:

<head>
    @include('includes.favicons')
</head>

And that's it! You can now run npm run dev or npm run build to generate the favicons and Blade template.
