why laravel view is showing blank page?

Question

when I open "http://localhost/app/public/" the default laravel home page works perfectly which is a welcome page where in the routes file there is this:

Route::get('/', function () {
return view('welcome');
 });

but I'm learning so I just changed the "welcome" to "home" and created a new file resources/views/home.blade.php with the following simple code:

<?php
 echo 'hello world of laravel';
 ?>

but when I open "http://localhost/app/public/"

it shows a blank page.

what am i missing?

You should setup your web server so it point to public directory and then access the app through http://localhost/
