Tasks

1. Create a Blade Layout Template

• Create a layouts folder inside resources/views/.
• Inside the folder, create a main.blade.php file.
• Define the basic structure including @yield and @section directives.

2. Create a Child View Using the Layout

• Create a new Blade file (e.g., home.blade.php).
• Extend main.blade.php using @extends and @section.
• Add sample content for the homepage.

3. Use Blade Components and Partials

• Create a Blade partial for reusable elements (e.g., header, footer).
• Use @include to include these partials inside the layout.
• Create a Blade component for buttons or cards.

4. Pass Data to Views

• Modify a controller to fetch sample data from the database.
• Pass the data to the Blade view using compact() or with().
• Display the data dynamically inside the child view using {{ }} syntax.

5. Define Routes and Render Views

• Create a new route for the homepage in web.php.
• Return the home.blade.php view from a controller or directly in the route.
• Test the page in the browser.
