How to return html file as view?

All you need to do for blade to ignore the braces is:

@{{ data }}

@JackJones Yes we can use escape, but I just want to return static html page. Because in my single page application, i barely uses blade template. Most are done with ajax and angular.

Just create the html file and upload it?

You have a static html file, so where exactly does Laravel come into play?

just name the html file with a php extension

@JackJones Laravel comes in to play when routing. My static html file resides in public/sites folder, and I like to route request to / to my html file.

@Cronix If file has php extension, blade will interpolate it, and so all angular braces will be corrupted. Using @ with php will prevent it, but I am trying to return static html, since My project has no use of blade tempting.

@ringo No, blade will interpret it only if it has a .blade.php extension, not just a .php extension. You can have a php file with NO php in it and ONLY html. Just don't have any php tags in it if you don't want any php to be interpreted.

You could name them like yourfile.html.php just to make it more clear in your view directory which are the html-only files. Then just load them like normal views like you're wanting. This will just get around laravel only loading view files with the php extension. It doesn't mean it has to actually contain php.
