Laravel vendor:publish directory permission issues - php

Question

I'm building a package that needs to publish to these directories when php artisan vendor:publish is called.
Directories includes
public_path('vendor/package/assets')
resources_path('vendor/package/views')
resources_path('vendor/package/translations')
I get permission related error when I run vendor:publsih which tries to write to these directories.
However vendor:publish works for database_path('migrations').
Laravel requires permission 775 for storage and bootstrap/cache.
I don't want package users to be forced to give write permission to public and resources directories.
NB:My package already uses $this->loadViewsFrom, $this->loadTranslationsFrom and $this->loadMigrationsFrom as default options. I wish to give my package users full access to modify views, translations, migrations etc. My package also needs to publish some assets to public directory such as js, css etc, which are very necessary for some views.
What am I missing about artisan vendor:publish, and how do I get this to work?

Answer 1

In your package's service provider boot method, you should rely on the loadViewsFrom and loadTranslationsFrom methods to properly include views and translations files:
public function boot()
{
$this->loadViewsFrom(__DIR__.'/path/to/views', 'courier');
$this->loadTranslationsFrom(__DIR__.'/path/to/translations', 'courier');
}
More information about including views can be found here and translations here.
If you are looking to publish the files instead of just loading them for use, then use the publishes method:
public function boot()
{
$this->publishes([
__DIR__.'/path/to/assets' => public_path('vendor/courier'),
]);
}
