Blade Templating

Blade is a simple, yet powerful templating engine provided with Laravel. Unlike controller layouts, Blade is driven by template inheritance and sections. All Blade templates should use the .blade.php extension.

Defining A Blade Layout

<!-- Stored in resources/views/layouts/master.blade.php -->
 
<html>
<head>
<title>App Name - @yield('title')</title>
</head>
<body>
@section('sidebar')
This is the master sidebar.
@show
 
<div class="container">
@yield('content')
</div>
</body>
</html>

Using A Blade Layout

@extends('layouts.master')
 
@section('title', 'Page Title')
 
@section('sidebar')
@@parent
 
<p>This is appended to the master sidebar.</p>
@stop
 
@section('content')
<p>This is my body content.</p>
@stop

Note that views which extend a Blade layout simply override sections from the layout. Content of the layout can be included in a child view using the @parent directive in a section, allowing you to append to the contents of a layout section such as a sidebar or footer.

Sometimes, such as when you are not sure if a section has been defined, you may wish to pass a default value to the @yield directive. You may pass the default value as the second argument:

@yield('section', 'Default Content')

Other Blade Control Structures

Echoing Data

Hello, {{ $name }}.
 
The current UNIX timestamp is {{ time() }}.

Echoing Data After Checking For Existence

Sometimes you may wish to echo a variable, but you aren't sure if the variable has been set. Basically, you want to do this:

{{ isset($name) ? $name : 'Default' }}

However, instead of writing a ternary statement, Blade allows you to use the following convenient short-cut:

{{ $name or 'Default' }}

Displaying Raw Text With Curly Braces

If you need to display a string that is wrapped in curly braces, you may escape the Blade behavior by prefixing your text with an @ symbol:

@{{ This will not be processed by Blade }}

If you don't want the data to be escaped, you may use the following syntax:

Hello, {!! $name !!}.
lightbulb

Be very careful when echoing content that is supplied by users of your application. Always use the double curly brace syntax to escape any HTML entities in the content.

If Statements

@if (count($records) === 1)
I have one record!
@elseif (count($records) > 1)
I have multiple records!
@else
I don't have any records!
@endif
 
@unless (Auth::check())
You are not signed in.
@endunless

Loops

@for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
The current value is {{ $i }}
@endfor
 
@foreach ($users as $user)
<p>This is user {{ $user->id }}</p>
@endforeach
 
@forelse($users as $user)
<li>{{ $user->name }}</li>
@empty
<p>No users</p>
@endforelse
 
@while (true)
<p>I'm looping forever.</p>
@endwhile

Including Sub-Views

@include('view.name')

You may also pass an array of data to the included view:

@include('view.name', ['some' => 'data'])

Overwriting Sections

To overwrite a section entirely, you may use the overwrite statement:

@extends('list.item.container')
 
@section('list.item.content')
<p>This is an item of type {{ $item->type }}</p>
@overwrite

Displaying Language Lines

@lang('language.line')
 
@choice('language.line', 1)
