Answer 1

i use this way, don't forget to put your css file on public folder.

for example i put my bootstrap css on

"root/public/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css"

to access from header:

<link href="{{ asset('bootstrap/css/bootstrap.min.css') }}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" >

First you have to install the Illuminate Html helper class:

composer require "illuminate/html":"5.0.*"

Next you need to open /config/app.php and update as follows:

'providers' => [

...

Illuminate\Html\HtmlServiceProvider::class,
],

'aliases' => [

...

'Form' => Illuminate\Html\FormFacade::class, 
'HTML' => Illuminate\Html\HtmlFacade::class,
],

To confirm it’s working use the following command:

php artisan tinker
> Form::text('foo')
"<input name=\"foo\" type=\"text\">"

To include external css in you files, use the following syntax:

{!! HTML::style('foo/bar.css') !!}
