Create master layout with sub page using blade in Laravel

Today we are going to create master layout with sub page using blade in Laravel, so let's see the implementation below:

According to its site: 

Blade is a simple, yet powerful templating engine provided with Laravel. Unlike controller layouts, Blade is driven by template inheritance and sections. All Blade templates should use the .blade.phpextension.

So we will dive into a real demo project with blade in Laravel together. I assumed that you already installed Laravel project in your localhost if you are not yet, feel free to check out this post Install Laravel from scratch first and come back. After you install laravel, you will see like below:

There are some steps to work with master page and sub page, with Laravel this thing make developer very easy to implement and learn.

return view('welcome');   to return view('homepage'); and then open browser http://localhost:1010/myblog/public/ . Here the output:
