View represents the HTML or interface of your application. Views are used to display data to the user and interact with them. They are usually stored in the resources/views directory of your Laravel project.

Creating a View:

To create a view in Laravel, follow these steps:

  1. View File store in resources/views directory in your Laravel project.
  2. Create a new file with a .blade.php extension. This extension tells Laravel to use the Blade template engine to parse the view.
  3. In the view file, add the HTML, PHP, or Blade templates that define the structure and layout of the page. 
  4. Save the view file with .blade.php extension.

Example:

 (resources/views/welcome.blade.php)

<html>
    <head>
        <title>Welcome</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Hello, {{ $name }}!</h1>
    </body>
</html>

Passing data To View:

View helper functions can be used to display a view in a Laravel application. 

This function takes the name of the view as its first argument and an array of data as its second argument.

Here's an example of how to render the welcome view:

Example:

// Using the with method
return view('welcome')->with('name', 'John Doe');

// Using an array
return view('welcome', ['name' => 'John Doe']);
