laravel @include not working

Question

I am trying to include files in my user page using blade syntax

@include('header')

@yield('content')

@include('footer')

here is web.php

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('layouts.user');
});

i'm getting this error

(1/1) InvalidArgumentException View [layouts.user] not found.

Answer 1

You always have to use the absolute path to a view. So in your case, this should be:

@include('user.layouts.header')

@yield('content')

@include('user.layouts.footer')

The same counts for your routes file:

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('user.layouts.user');
});

Answer 2

It's because you should include full path from the view folder so it will look like this:

@include('user.layouts.header')

@include('user.layouts.footer')
