How to prevent laravel-mix to include the full jQuery Library

I basically used a .js file that I created in a Laravel 5.1 Project and that was now upgrade to Laravel 5.4. In Laravel 5.1 we had elixer and the file was compress as expected.

Now with laravel-mix the fill is also compress and put into public/js/ but the file is much larger because the hole jQuery Library is included.

I want to load jQuery seperate e.g. from a CDN!

mix.js('resources/assets/js/foo.js', 'public/js')

With this lines you can test it:

// resources/assets/js/foo.js
$(document).ready(function(){
    $('#foo').removeStyle('bar');
});

this is also do the same (including jQuery):

// resources/assets/js/foo.js
+function ($) {
    $(document).ready(function(){
        $('#foo').removeStyle('bar');
    });
}(jQuery);

laravel-mix: v0.8.1 Node.js: v6.9.5 (latest LTS) yarn: v0.20.3

mix.autoload({});

@QWp6t I do not have any bootstrap.js with the window.$ = window.jQuery = require('jquery'); But mix.autoload({}); in the webpack.mix.js file do the trick for me …

Would be nice if this finds his way int the Laravel Docs
