Laravel 5：移动公用文件夹或.htaccess规则？

I'm curious and new with Laravel.

So, I made fresh installation of Laravel 5. Actually, my project is accessable through index.php in public folder.

For this moment, i put all files in htdocs folder in my lampp stack.

What is best practice to load the project through http://localhost, not http://localhost/public

Can I move all files in public folder to root dir or is not good idea? May be .htaccess rule is better solution? What are the advantages and disadvantages in every case?

Thank you.

for Windows, try create symbolic link on directory, for example:

mklink /D www x:\path\to\laravel\public\
