Pretty URLs
By default, any Blade files not named index.blade.php are rendered as index.html in a subfolder named after the original file.
For example, if you have a file named about-us.blade.php in your /source directory:
source
_assets
_layouts
assets
about-us.blade.php
blog.blade.php
index.blade.php
...
…it will be rendered as index.html in the /build/about-us directory:
build_local
about-us
index.html
blog
index.html
index.html
...
This means your “About us” page will be available at http://example.com/about-us/ instead of http://example.com/about-us.html.
Disabling Pretty URLs
To disable this behavior, set the pretty option to false in your config file:
return [
'pretty' => false,
];
