title: Loading assets from *.blade.php in Laravel
body: <p>Laravel 5.4 here.</p>
  
  <p>I added test.css file under public/css/ and then made a call in my layout.blade.php like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;link href="{{ asset('css/test.css') }}" rel="stylesheet"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but the asset does not get loaded.</p>
  
  <p>My problem is that i am trying to run css for jquery-ui. I downloaded jquery-ui-bundle via npm and then required it in resources/assets/js/bootstrap.js. Widget works, but the calendar shows up without styles. So i try to add styles manually by referencing them directly through the template. Unfortunately, this doesn't help.</p>
