How can I echo the version of the current Laravel version in php using the view?

Question

I don't want to check my Laravel version in the command prompt (php artisan --version), but in the view itself.

Like this:

<?php
  $laravel_version = /*laravel version check code*/;
?>

In the view:

{{ $laravel_version }}

Do anyone know how I can do that? Maybe it isn't possible..?

Here is an easiest way to check it manually from the folder

Go to project folder

D:\xampp\htdocs\your-project-folder\vendor\laravel\framework\src\Illuminate\Foundation\Application.php

const VERSION = '5.2.45'; //version of laravel

This is the another way to check it.
