How can I make a link to a local file in laravel?

Question

I want to make an href link that should open an html file that is saved locally. normally if its not locally I would make a new route that call the index function in a controller that I would create and this index function would return a blade. Now What would be the difference if I want to link a local file?

Answer 1

Yes, you can do it. But you have to put that html file in public folder in your project.

Assume you put hello.html in folder your_project/public/welcome,

Then the link will be url('/welcome/hello.html')

No need route or controller
