SB Admin 2

1. Download

Extract and rename it to sbadmin2 (or others) and move it to Laravel's public folder.

2. Base Layout

Inside resources/views, create a new folder components and a new file layout.blade.php. Open index.html, copy its content, and paste it into layout.blade.php.

Update all asset paths (CSS, JS, images):

<!-- Change from: -->
<link href="css/sb-admin-2.min.css" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- To: -->
<link href="{{ asset('sbadmin2/css/sb-admin-2.min.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">
