We can use View facade and helper to check blade or view file exists or not in laravel. we can check blade file exists or not in controller and blade file as well. let's see the below examples:

Example 1: Check using Helper in Controller

app/Http/Controllers/DemoController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
  
class DemoController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $title = "Welcome to ItSolutionStuff.com";
        
        if(view()->exists('admin.demo')){
           return view('admin.demo', compact('title'));
        }
    }
}

Example 2: Check using Facade in Controller

app/Http/Controllers/DemoController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
  
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use View;
  
class DemoController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function index(Request $request)
    {
        $title = "Welcome to ItSolutionStuff.com";
        
        if(View::exists('admin.demo')){
           return view('admin.demo', compact('title'));
        }
    }
}

Example 3: Check using Helper in Blade

Blade File:

@if(view()->exists('admin.demo'))
    {{-- Blade File is Exists --}}
@else
    {{-- Blade File is not Exists --}}
@endif
