@include not working in Laravel5.4

Question

I am learning larval and following video on laracasts.com , In lecture 10 regarding layout and structure , I was trying the @include but it is not working .

Below are my files :

/views/layout.blade.php

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, shrink-to-fit=no">
    <meta name="description" content="">
    <meta name="author" content="">
    <link rel="icon" href="../../favicon.ico">

          <div class="col-sm-4 py-4">

/views/posts/index.blade.php

@extends('layout')

Route is properly set:

Route::get('/','PostsController@index');

Did you mean to write `@include('layouts.nav')` in `views/layout.blade.php` and not `@inlcude('layouts.nav') `? — Oluwafemi Sule, Jul 25 '17 at 14:14
@OluwafemiSule: Yes @include('layouts.nav') in /views/layout.blade.php is not working — milan kumar, Jul 25 '17 at 14:19
layouts must be a folder inside the views directory in which you are having your nav.blade.php file — Satyam Pathak, Jul 25 '17 at 14:26
found the correct way of including a file from different directory than views. Posted the same as the answer , Thanks all. — milan kumar, Jul 25 '17 at 14:46
@milankumar i had the same problem earlier , its beacuse include has a default directory specified in views.php where you need to mention your other directories in that array. umm not sure but it might also cache problem if you could check out — Satyam Pathak, Jul 25 '17 at 14:49
Please don't tag your question as "solved". Accept the most useful answer. — ceejayoz, Jul 25 '17 at 14:56

That's because that file is not in the app/views directory.

When you call @include('layouts.nav'), Blade automatically looks for any file with that name, inside the app/views directory.

Blade looks for the files in the paths array in /app/config/view.php , Adding one more resource path does the trick as following:

'paths' => [
        resource_path('views'),
        resource_path('/../views/layouts')
    ],
