Laravel does not support themes out of the box. you can create bootstrap themes though. which maybe used in laravel views in turn.

Hi Astroanu,

Thanks for your reply, I just wanted to know what would be the structure of the theme folder?

Solution

take a look at a package like https://github.com/igaster/laravel-theme. how they have implemented themes.

basically if you look at how others have done it, wordpress themes have a default set of views and they can be overridden by a child theme. so in your laravel project have your resources/views be your default theme and override them with themes/mytheme/views. for this you will obviously need a ThemeServiceProvider and a couple of facades to resolve the correct view and attach the correct js, css or any other asset file.

i suggest the following directory structure for themes

resources
    views
        layouts
            auth.blade.php
themes
    mytheme
        views
            layouts
                auth.blade.php
            dashboard
                home.blade.php
        assets
            css
                style.css
