title: How do I add HTML 5 type attribute to laravel blade?
body: <p>I have this line in blade format<br/></p>
  
  <pre><code>{{ Form::text('date', null, array('class' =&gt; 'form-control', 'type' =&gt; 'Date', 'placeholder' =&gt; 'Date' )) }}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but when the page loads the type attribute does not get resolved to 'date', it goes to 'text'.</p>
  
  <p>How do I get this in blade?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;input class="form-control" type="date" placeholder="Date" name="date"&gt;
  </code></pre>
