		'simple_widget' => App\MyWidgets\SimpleWidget::class
	]

Rendering Widgets

With blade @widgetify directive:

// views/sidebar.blade.php
<div class="col-sm-3">
	@widgetify('simple_widget')
</div>

OR with configs:

// views/sidebar.blade.php
<div class="col-sm-3">
	@widgetify('simple_widget', ['key' => 'value', 'key2' => 'value'])
</div>

OR with Widgetify Facade:

// views/sidebar.blade.php
<div class="col-sm-3">
	{!! Widgetify::render('simple_widgets') !!}
</div>

    {!! Widgetify::remember('my_widget', 15, [CONFIGS]); !!}
</div>
<div class="col-sm-4">
    @cached_widgetify('my_widget', 15, [CONFIGS]);
</div>
