laravel @if statements displayed in view
I'm learning Laravel for the first time, just started today. Fresh Laravel install via Composer on LAMPP - Ubuntu. After I run sudo /opt/lampp lampp start in my terminal, I open Chrome and nav to localhost/MYAPP/resources/views/welcome.blade.php. This is the view that is rendered.
The "@" statements (that I assume are specific to Laravel's controllers) are rendered to the screen in the browser and I cannot figure out why this is happening.
Any/all insight is appreciated!
EDIT: As requested here is my welcome.blade.php file:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="{{ app()->getLocale() }}">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">

Answer
The @ in laravel blade view is injection of some php commends and shortcuts. For example:
@if(condition)
some data
@else
some data
@endif
Is the same as:
<?php if(condition){ ?>
some data
<?php } else { ?>
some data
<?php } ?>
You will find more here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.6/blade
When it comes to Laravel it is a basic so read it carefully.
