+## Using views in production
+
+ In order to use blade view in production, a `view.php` file must be added in `config` directory to specify the path where the compiled view should be stored.
+
+ For example:
+ ```php
+ <?php
+ return [
+ 'paths' => [
+ resource_path('views'),
+ ],
+ 'compiled' => \Phar::running()
+ ? getcwd()
+ : env('VIEW_COMPILED_PATH', realpath(storage_path('framework/views'))),
+ ]
+ ```
+
+ You also need to add the `resources` directory in the `box.json` file to include it in the PHAR file will be compiled:
+ ```json
+ "directories": [
+ "app",
+ "bootstrap",
+ "config",
+ "vendor",
+ "resources"
+ ],
+ ```
+
 Full details on using the View component is available on the [main Laravel documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/views).
