i have installed Laravel 5.4 in localhost. I'm using XAMPP to host the application. I'm using Laravel's inbuilt Blade template structure to show the data. I have used asset() helper to load my assets files which is inside the public folder. A sample code is here.
<link href="{{URL::asset('backend/vendors/bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css')}}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
But CSS file is not loading. I discovered this from Chrome developer tool's Network section. I have worked with Laravel before with it's other version and this is the first time that i'm working with version 5.4. Hope someone will assist me to solve this.
