    <meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

    <title>{{ config('app.name', 'Inventory Management') }}</title>

<body>
    <div id="app">

            @yield('content')
            @endif
        </main>
    </div>

          <h5 class="modal-title" id="exampleModalLabel">Ready to Leave?</h5>
          <button class="close" type="button" data-dismiss="modal" aria-label="Close">

          </button>

            document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();">
            Logout
            </a>

            <form id="logout-form" action="{{ route('logout') }}" method="POST" style="display: none;">
                {{ csrf_field() }}
            </form>

@section('content')
    <body class="bg-primary">

                                        </tr>
                                        <tr>
                                            <td>Donna Snider</td>

                                            <td>2011/01/25</td>
                                            <td>$112,000</td>
                                        </tr>
                                    </tbody>
                                </table>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </main>
                @include('layouts.footer')
            </div>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Step 13:- Now, Similarly we will make the footer.blade.php file inside the layouts folder and cut the footer portion that exists inside the side navigation blade file, and put it in the footer file as shown below
layouts/footer.blade.php:-

<footer class="py-4 bg-light mt-auto">
                    <div class="container-fluid px-4">
                        <div class="d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between small">
                            <div class="text-muted">Copyright &copy; Your Website 2021</div>
                            <div>
                                <a href="#">Privacy Policy</a>
                                &middot;
                                <a href="#">Terms &amp; Conditions</a>
                            </div>
                        </div>
                    </div>
</footer>

Step 14:- Note that we have included the footer file after the main div as shown in the sidenav.blade.php file.

Step 15:- Note that we have written the @yield(‘content’) between the main div as shown in the side navigation menu file. Actually, the @yield defines the section of the body area of our them like home page, forms, and tables, etc.

Step 16:- Now, we will create an index.blade.php file under the resources/views/admin folder.

Step 17:- Copy all the contents from the index.html file that is located inside the theme folder and paste it in the index.blade.php file as shown below
views/admin/index.blade.php:-

 @extends('layouts.app')
 @extends('layouts.sidenav')
 @section('content')
 <div class="container-fluid px-4">
        <!--<h1 class="mt-4">Dashboard</h1>-->
        <ol class="breadcrumb mb-4">
            <li class="breadcrumb-item active">Dashboard</li>
        </ol>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-xl-3 col-md-6">
                <div class="card bg-primary text-white mb-4">
                    <div class="card-body">Primary Card</div>
                    <div class="card-footer d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between">
                        <a class="small text-white stretched-link" href="#">View Details</a>
                        <div class="small text-white"><i class="fas fa-angle-right"></i></div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-xl-3 col-md-6">
                <div class="card bg-warning text-white mb-4">
                    <div class="card-body">Warning Card</div>
                    <div class="card-footer d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between">
                        <a class="small text-white stretched-link" href="#">View Details</a>
                        <div class="small text-white"><i class="fas fa-angle-right"></i></div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-xl-3 col-md-6">
                <div class="card bg-success text-white mb-4">
                    <div class="card-body">Success Card</div>
                    <div class="card-footer d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between">
                        <a class="small text-white stretched-link" href="#">View Details</a>
                        <div class="small text-white"><i class="fas fa-angle-right"></i></div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-xl-3 col-md-6">
                <div class="card bg-danger text-white mb-4">
                    <div class="card-body">Danger Card</div>
                    <div class="card-footer d-flex align-items-center justify-content-between">
                        <a class="small text-white stretched-link" href="#">View Details</a>
                        <div class="small text-white"><i class="fas fa-angle-right"></i></div>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-xl-6">
                <div class="card mb-4">
                    <div class="card-header">
                        <i class="fas fa-chart-area me-1"></i>
                        Area Chart Example
                    </div>
                    <div class="card-body"><canvas id="myAreaChart" width="100%" height="40"></canvas></div>
                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="col-xl-6">
                <div class="card mb-4">
                    <div class="card-header">
                        <i class="fas fa-chart-bar me-1"></i>
                        Bar Chart Example
                    </div>
                    <div class="card-body"><canvas id="myBarChart" width="100%" height="40"></canvas></div>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
@endsection

Step 18:- Now, we wil create the route in the web.php file under the routes folder of the application as shown below

<?php

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/', function () {
	if(Auth::check()){
		return view('admin.index');
		//return view('portal.index');
	}
	else{
		return view('auth.login');
	}
    
});

Auth::routes();

Route::get('/home', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index'])->name('home');

Step 19:- Now, we will include the index.blade file in the HomeController to redirect to the home page that is located under the resources/views/admin folder.

HomeController.php:-

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('auth');
    }

    /**
     * Show the application dashboard.
     *
     * @return \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Renderable
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return view('admin.index');
    }
}

Step 20:- Now, enter the below line inside the root directory where the project folder is located using the command terminal as shown below

php artisan serve

Step 21:- Now, open the browser and hit the URL: http://localhost:8000/home

Conclusion:- I hope this tutorial will help you to understand the integration of the SB admin theme in Laravel 8.
