Laravel & Blade PHP - How would I call a Laravel Blade directive dynamically? - php

Question

Is it possible to use a variable as the call to a Laravel Blade directive?
For my menu system, I've defined a component and I would like to be able to set the visibility of a link in the component. I have created numerous Blade directives (staff, admin, client, etc.) which check a user's role.
My component definition looks like this:
#component('components.primaryMenu', [
'items' => [
[
'route' => route('some.uri'),
'visibility' => ['staff', 'client'],
'label' => 'Item 1',
],
[
'route' => route('another.uri'),
'visibility' => ['everyone'],
'label' => 'Item 2',
],
]
])#endcomponent
What I would like to do is:
<ul class="nav">
#foreach($items as $item)
#foreach($item['visibility'] as $visibility)
#{{ $visibility }} // Should interpolate to #staff / #client
// Link stuff in here
#end{{ $visibility }} // Should interpolate to #endstaff / #endclient
#endforeach
#endforeach
</ul>
When I run this code I get "Invalid argument supplied for foreach()". I'm guessing because the #{{ $visibility }} declarations are throwing off the parser.
My Blade directives are defined in a service provider and look like this:
Blade::if('staff', function () use ($user) {
return $user->isType('staff');
});
Blade::if('client', function () use ($user) {
return $user->isType('client');
});
