Laravel Blade is a templating engine that comes with the Laravel PHP framework. Blade provides a convenient way to write dynamic, reusable views in your Laravel application. Here are some key features and syntax elements of Laravel Blade templates:
{{ $variable }}.
{!! $variable !!}.
Blade supports common control structures like @if, @else, @elseif, @unless, @for, @foreach, and @while.
@if($condition)
// Code to execute if the condition is true
@elseif($anotherCondition)
// Code to execute if the second condition is true
@else
// Code to execute if no conditions are true
@endif
@unless($condition)
// Code to execute unless the condition is true
@endunless
@for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)
// Code to repeat for each iteration
@endfor
@foreach($items as $item)
// Code to execute for each item in the array
@endforeach
@while($condition)
// Code to execute while the condition is true
@endwhile
@include('view.name') to include another Blade view within the current view.
Define a master layout using @extends('layout.name') and include content sections using @section('sectionName') and @endsection.
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
// Content of the view goes here
@endsection
Blade components allow you to create reusable UI elements. You can define a component using @component and @endcomponent.
@component('alert')
// Content of the alert component
@endcomponent
Blade has several built-in directives for common tasks, such as @csrf, @auth, @guest, @can, and more.
@csrf // Generates a hidden CSRF token field
@auth
// Code to execute if the user is authenticated
@endauth
@guest
// Code to execute if the user is a guest
@endguest
@can('ability')
// Code to execute if the user has the specified ability
@endcan
