Laravel provides its inbuilt 404 error page and shows text 404 page not found but we want more customization and better ui for 404 page so in this article i will show yo to customize the 404 not found error page in laravel.
This article will cover you to create custom error pages and a simple example to to customize the UI of error pages. you need to create a directory in resources/views/errors and then create respective error pages like 404.blade.php, 500.blade.php, 405.blade.php etc.
We can create laravel all error page by publishing the page using laravel artisan common as below and then we can easily customize them
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=laravel-errorsAbove command will create directory errors in resources/view folder and create all error pages.
And if you wanted to create manually then you can follow below article. So let’s create the simple 404.blade.php for page not found.
The first step you need to create is directory in resources/views and then create a directory named as errors.
Once you created the directory, you can add the error pages like 404, 500, 501, 505, 400 etc. By default laravel provides its own error pages and we can customize them using this directory.
In this example I am going to create 404 page and will customize the ui according to need. Now, create the 404.balde.php file in errors directory.
