title: Laravel check for asset existence
body: <p>I would like to check whether an asset {{ asset }} exists before trying to output the file. </p>
  
  <p>I have tried a few things after some google-ing, but none seem to work on Laravel 5.0.</p>
  
  <p>An example of what i would imagine the request (in a frontend blade view) to look like;</p>
  
  <pre><code>@if(asset(path-to-asset))
     &lt;img src="image-path"/&gt;
  @else
     &lt;img src="no-image-path"/&gt;
  @endif
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
