I am not a big fan of template engines like Laravel's Blade. It is mainly because I taught myself to use PHP as the templating engine and I feel very confortable with it. So I wish to stick with it.
But unfortunately, Laravel's docs do not state how I can just use PHP templates and have a pre-defiend layout. All the examples show a line that extends from the default template. This certainly was easier in Yii...
Is there a way to specify an all-existant layout and then just render my views into that - or will I have to write my own cod
I saw this question: Laravel define default layout from controller in good way But it's pretty dated. Thats why I ask here again.
