Laravel 5 return view not working

I am trying to return a view that is located in a subfolder of views:

I have a route that calls a controller and in the index function it returns the view:

Route:

Route::resource('employee','EmployeeController');

Controller:

<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Illuminate\Http\Request; use App\Employee;

class EmployeeController extends Controller { /** * Display a listing of the resource. * * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response */ public function index() { // return view('employee.index'); }

/**
 * Show the form for creating a new resource.
 *
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function create()
{
    //
}

/**
 * Store a newly created resource in storage.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function store(Request $request)
{
    //
}

/**
 * Display the specified resource.
 *
 * @param  int  $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function show($id)
{
    //
}

/**
 * Show the form for editing the specified resource.
 *
 * @param  int  $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function edit($id)
{
    //
}

/**
 * Update the specified resource in storage.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @param  int  $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function update(Request $request, $id)
{
    //
}

/**
 * Remove the specified resource from storage.
 *
 * @param  int  $id
 * @return \Illuminate\Http\Response
 */
public function destroy($id)
{
    //
}
}

When I try the following url:

http://cats/employee

I get this error message:

Whoops, looks like something went wrong. 1/1 InvalidArgumentException in FileViewFinder.php line 137: View [employee. index] not found.

It is not understand my code:

return view('employee.index');

Did I make a mistake unknowingly?
