 <textarea class="form-control" id="summary-ckeditor" name="summary-ckeditor"></textarea> 

Next, we need to include ckeditor.js file and write a JavaScript code which replaces Textarea with CKEditor.

 <script src="{{ asset('vendor/unisharp/laravel-ckeditor/ckeditor.js') }}"></script>
<script>
    CKEDITOR.replace( 'summary-ckeditor' );
</script> 

Above JavaScript code replaces textarea with the CKEditor. Hope it will work for you.
