MountainBreeze is a starter template for developers who build themes for the popular content management system. It provides a modern foundation that integrates popular front-end and templating tools, moving away from traditional development patterns.

• Tailwind CSS Integration: The utility-first CSS framework is pre-configured, allowing for rapid UI development directly within template files. The build process purges unused styles for production.
• Alpine JS for Interactivity: This minimal JavaScript framework is included for adding reactive behavior to pages, offering a declarative syntax as a modern alternative to jQuery.
• Laravel Blade Templating: Uses the Blade engine for writing templates, providing a cleaner syntax with directives like @loop for handling the standard content loop, all stored in a dedicated templates directory.
• Laravel Mix Asset Compilation: Builds and optimizes CSS and JavaScript assets using this webpack wrapper, simplifying the development and production build process with npm run dev and npm run prod commands.
• jQuery Removed by Default: The template disables jQuery to reduce page weight, encouraging the use of modern browser APIs and Alpine. It can be re-enabled through a configuration setting if required for specific plugins or legacy code.
