Loading a view into another view/nested views

In Laravel, you can load one view into another view, creating a nested or master-detail view structure. This feature is beneficial for organizing your views, especially when you have common components or layouts that you want to reuse across multiple pages.

Here's how you can load a view into another view in Laravel

 

Create Parent and Child Views:

 First, you need to create your parent view (the main layout) and the child view (the view you want to include within the parent).

Let's assume you have a parent view called layouts/app.blade.php and a child view called pages/home.blade.php.

Define the Parent View: In the parent view (layouts/app.blade.php), you typically define the overall layout structure, including headers, footers, and common elements.

<!-- resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php -->

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>@yield('title')</title>
</head>
<body>
    <header>
        <!-- Header content -->
    </header>

    <div class="container">
        @yield('content')
    </div>

    <footer>
        <!-- Footer content -->
    </footer>
</body>
</html>

In this layout, @yield('content') is a placeholder where the content of the child view will be inserted.

 

Define the Child View:

 In the child view (pages/home.blade.php), you define the specific content that you want to display within the parent layout.

<!-- resources/views/pages/home.blade.php -->

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('title', 'Home Page')

@section('content')
    <h1>Welcome to the Home Page</h1>
    <!-- Other content specific to the home page -->
@endsection

In this child view, @extends('layouts.app') indicates that this view extends the layouts/app.blade.php layout. @section directives define the title and content of the child view.

 

Display the Child View:

 Finally, you can create a route that returns the child view or directly use the child view within another view.

// routes/web.php

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('pages.home');
});

This route returns the pages/home.blade.php view when a user visits the root URL of your application.

With this setup, when you navigate to the root URL of your Laravel application, Laravel will render the pages/home.blade.php view within the layouts/app.blade.php layout, resulting in a nested view structure. You can create additional child views and include them in different parent views as needed to organize your application's UI.
