  • It mimics frontend frameworks like React or Vue without their complexities.

Displaying Data

  • Display variables using curly braces ({{ variable }}).
  • Use PHP functions within echo statements.
  • Blade escapes HTML entities by default (e.g., {{ $name }}), preventing XSS attacks.
  • Disable double encoding (by calling the Blade::withoutDoubleEncoding method in AppServiceProvider).
  • Display unescaped data using {{ data }} for greater control (can lead to security risk if not handled properly).

Using JavaScript Frameworks

  • Use the @ symbol to prevent the Blade engine from processing an expression (e.g., JavaScript expressions).
  • This allows JavaScript frameworks to handle rendering.

Rendering JSON

  • Use Illuminate\Support\Js::from to render JSON for JavaScript variables.
  • This function escapes JSON for safe inclusion in HTML.

Blade Directives

  • Blade provides directives for common PHP control structures like ifs, loops, and conditional statements.

Conditionals

  • @if, @elseif, @else, @endif follow PHP syntax.
    • @unless provides a negation of the condition.
    • @isset, @empty are shortcuts for checking variable existence and emptiness.

Authentication

  • @auth, @guest directives check if a user is logged in.
    • Specify authentication guards if needed.

Environment

  • @production checks if the application is in production mode.
    • @env checks for a specific environment.

Sections

  • Use @hasSection, @sectionMissing for handling sections in template inheritance.

Sessions

  • @session, @endsession controls the display of session values.

Switches

  • @switch, @case, @break, @default, @endswitch implement switch statements.

Loops

  • @foreach, @endforeach, @continue, @break manage loops identically to PHP.
    • $loop variable is available during foreach loops to access indexes, first/last iteration.

Conditional Classes and Styles

  • @class, @style directives allow styling based on conditions.

Attributes

  • @checked, @selected, @disabled, @readonly, @required provide easy inclusion of attributes in HTML.

Including Subviews

  • The @include directive imports other Blade views.
    • Pass data to included views.
      • @includeIf, @includeWhen, @includeUnless permit conditional inclusion of views.
      • includeFirst retrieves the first view in an array.

Rendering Collections

  • The @each directive renders views for each element in a collection or array.

Raw PHP

  • @php directive for executing arbitrary PHP code within Blade.
    • @use to import classes.

Components

Creating Blade Components

  • Use the make:component Artisan command to generate a new Blade component.

Rendering Components

  • Use Blade attributes to pass data
  • The render method of a component returns a string or a closure returning a string.
  • If a string, it's rendered directly.
  • If a closure returns a string, Blade determines if a nested view exists or treat it as inline.

Passing Data

  • Pass data to components using HTML attributes (e.g. :alert-type = "primary").
    • Component class constructors receive data.
  • Components make data accessible to views.

Casing

  • Component arguments use camelCase.
  • Attributes use kebab-case.

Methods

  • Components can render content through methods and display them in the views.

Components Accessing Attributes and Slots

  • The render method returns a closure to access component data.
    • Attributes, component name and slots, including content, are available.
  • Public methods and properties of the components are accessible to templates.

Component Attributes

  • Component attributes are collected in the $attributes bag.
  • Default values and merged attributes can be set.
  • Merging classes and other attributes is possible.
  • Attributes can be filtered or retrieved by key.

Slots

  • Slots ($slot) allow passing content to components.
    • $slot->isEmpty(), $slot->hasActualContent() may be used.

Inline Components

  • Return markup directly for concise components.

Dynamic Components

  • Use dynamic-component to change rendering based on runtime values.

Manually Registering Components

  • Manually register using a package's service provider.

Anonymous Components

  • Anonymous components use Blade syntax and view files.

Anonymous Index Components

  • Blade allows anonymous components nested in directories to be rendered with the x- component name approach, matching the name of its folder

Data Properties

  • @props directive in an anonymous component definition specifies data properties.
  • Components can have defaults.

Accessing Parent Data

  • @aware directive makes parent data available within child components.

Anonymous Component Paths

  • Allows registering custom paths for anonymous components.

Layouts

  • Layouts are viewed in two fashion: -- using Blade components for layouts. -- using Blade inheritance for layouts.

Forms

CSRF Field

  • Include a CSRF token field (@csrf).

Method Field

  • Use the @method directive to spoof HTTP verbs.

Validation Errors

  • Display validation errors for attributes using the @error directive.

Stacks

  • Use @push and @prepend to manage stacks of content (e.g., JavaScript).
    • Use @stack to display the stack.

Service Injection

  • @inject retrieves services from the Laravel service container.

Rendering Inline Blade Templates

  • Use the Blade facade's render method to create HTML from an inline Blade template string.

Rendering Blade Fragments

  • Use @fragment, @endfragment for selectively returning parts of a view.

Extending Blade

  • Define custom directives using the Blade directive method and a callback function.

Custom Echo Handlers

  • Register custom handlers (stringable) for objects to control their output in Blade.

Custom If Statements

  • Implement custom conditions with Blade's Blade::if method.
