Why would you? It's specific to Laravel. – Bombproof

the fact is i want to use it without vue and gulp . output of the way that Documentation is describe is very heavy js file with a lot of unwanted library like Vue,webpack,bootstrap.scss,..... – Murchison

You can use the echojs without laravel and npm.

echojs is a Js library,

Follow these steps to create echo.js file:

import Echo from "laravel-echo"
window.Echo = Echo; // inject the echo js into the browser

compile this with gulp using following code

const elixir = require('laravel-elixir');

elixir(mix => {
    mix
       .webpack('echo.js','public/assets/js/echo.js');
});

You can use this public/assets/js/echo.js file in any projects.

If you're not comfortable with above steps, go to our repository https://github.com/W2S-Solutions/laravel-echo-js-compiled/ and copy echo.js to use anywhere in your project

For laravel 5.7 use mix.js('echo.js', 'assets/js/echo.js'). By default mix will point to "public", you can change it with mix.setPublicPath() – Palpitant
