I'm trying to use sections and templates using Laravel 5.1, however when sending emails the HTML template does not get parsed.
For example the following code results in just the content part being sent and no HTML template (emails.template) with it;
#extends('emails.template')
#section('content')
Hi there!<br><br>
Please click on the link below to reset your password:<br><br>
{{ url('password/reset/'.$token) }}<br><br>
<strong>Note:</strong> This is an automatically generated email, please do not reply.
#endsection
My emails/template.blade.php file looks like this:
#yield('header')
#yield('content')
#yield('footer')
What could I be doing wrong?
As shown, the issue is that your layout is expecting the view that extends it to define the 'header', 'content', and 'footer' sections. Since your view only defined the 'content' section, that is all that is going to be shown.
If you have emails/header.blade.php and emails/footer.blade.php partials you would like to show, this is not the correct syntax. To do that, you would need to #include these partials. You can include them inside sections, if you want the view to be able to overwrite them, though.
You're looking for something like the following:
#section('header')
#include('emails.header')
#show
#yield('content')
#section('footer')
#include('emails.footer')
#show
Now, your 'header' and 'footer' sections will default to what is included in your emails/header.blade.php and emails/footer.blade.php files, but they can still be overwritten (or appended to) in the actual view by defining it's own 'header' and 'footer' sections.

I'am new to Laravel I just want to know the difference between #extends and #include
#extends('tempalate')
can I use #include to add template file in my laravel project.
#include('tempalate')
To simply put it:
Using #include('') function you are including or adding an existing file.
Using #extends('') your are sending a portion of your file to the extended file.
Which is usually wrapped inside a #section('') function.
As per Laravel Documentation:
Blade's #include directive allows you to include a Blade view from
within another view. All variables that are available to the parent
view will be made available to the included view:
<div>
#include('shared.errors')
<form>
<!-- Form Contents -->
</form>
</div>
When defining a child view, use the Blade #extends directive to
specify which layout the child view should "inherit". Views which
extend a Blade layout may inject content into the layout's sections
using #section directives. Remember, as seen in the example above, the
contents of these sections will be displayed in the layout using
#yield:
<!-- Stored in resources/views/child.blade.php -->
#extends('layouts.app')
#section('title', 'Page Title')
#section('sidebar')
#parent
<p>This is appended to the master sidebar.</p>
#endsection
#section('content')
<p>This is my body content.</p>
#endsection
Laravel -> Blade Templates -> Including Subviews
I recently started to build a Laravel/blade web application and I want to switch between what my layout view is showing. I want to replace 'content' with some other blade.php view when I press a button in the layout file. For example in ReactJS you can just determine the rendered content with an IF statement and some vars.
<div class="container">
#yield ('content')
</div>
I googled a bit but couldn't find a straight forward solution so I wondered if this is common in Laravel or do you just have to make a lot of different layout files with other #yield('...')? A lot of code would be duplicated right?
You can use conditional blade directives
#if(Session::get(user_type') == 'Admin')
#extends('layouts.admin')
#else
#extends('layouts.normal')
#endif
#section('title')
#endsection
#section('content')
etc ....
I have inherited a Laravel project to which I need to add a new page with some functionality that I have created. What I've got appears to be a main "app.blade.php" file, which includes some stuff that will always be visible.. like sidebar, login auth stuff and so on.
Now adding stuff to this is no problem. But what I want is a separate .php file that is loaded in the main content area of the app.blade.php when I go to a certain URL, let's call it "mypage.com/newpage". (Essentially, I want a link in the sidebar to load this new content.)
So my custom content should appear in the main content area, but the standard sidebar, etc, should still be there. I'm guessing it's something with routes, but... How do I proceed? Which files do I edit? What do I add and where? I already got my new HTML and Javascript code ready - I simply need to add it into the Laravel project the right way.
Suppose , bellow code is your app.blade.php file which you want to inherit.
<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>
and you want to load the app.blade.php file here. You need to extends the page and declare the sections like this.
#extends('app')
#section('title', 'Page Title')
#section('sidebar')
#parent
<p>This is appended to the master sidebar.</p>
#endsection
#section('content')
<p>This is my body content.</p>

Extending a layout on laravel This may help you.
What you're looking for is template inheritance. You create a layout template that you use as the main layout and your pages inherit that main layout template. See the Laravel Blade documentation: https://laravel.com/docs/5.2/blade#template-inheritance
Is it possible to include multiple view in route? What is the best practice for doing this, let say I want config file, header, content, and footer file to join and load in a view? If do it in the route, then I can easily change the content based on route request.
Thank you.
You need to take a futher look at Laravel's Blade templating. With Blade templating, you can create layouts and cascade them onto each other really nicely. For example, let's take the following routes...
app/routes.php
Route::get('about', function()
{
return View::make('about');
});
Route::get('contact', function()
{
return View::make('content')
});
As you can see, we have two different views for those two different request. However, with Blade templating, and sections, we can create a master layout and only change the content that we need. So, here is what our master layout would look like.
app/views/layouts/master.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Site Title</title>
</head>
<body>
<nav>
<ul>
<li>Home</li>
<li>About</li>
<li>Contact</li>
</ul>
</nav>
#yield('content')
</body>
</html>
This is our master layout. We have our nav that will always stay the same, our HTML and head and everything that we don't want to write over and over again. But, we are also using yield in blade to accept content and place it there. This is where our actual views come into play from routes.php.
app/views/about.blade.php
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('content')
<p>This is the about me content.</p>
#endsection
We can simply extend the master layout, and place our content within the content section, which we can name anything we want. Same with the other page, contact.
app/views/contact.blade.php
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('content')
<p>This is the contact page content.</p>
#endsection
As you can see, it's not so much as including multiple views...but rather it's about extending different views and putting them together using Blade.
Alternate way to include header / footer in another view will as below.
https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/blade#including-sub-views
<div>
#include('templates.header') // views/templates/header.blade.php
<form>
<!-- Form Contents -->
</form>
Is there a way to load js into the <head> section of the page whena subview is loaded. I would like to only load specific JS files based on the view that is being called. I am using the blade template engine.
There is a much easier way to do this using sections and template inheritance.
Firstly, create a master layout file, something like this:
http://paste.laravel.com/UY9 It's one I use that includes
Initializr/Bootstrap. I store this in views/layouts/frontend/ as
master.blade.php for the frontend and views/layouts/admin/ as
master.blade.php for the admin and amend as necessary.
You'll notice various #section declarations ending with #show. Using
#show at the end instead of #stop, allows you to override them in
your other views, you'll notice I've added a #section('scripts')
declaration. So, you can create a view like so:
#extends('layouts.frontend.master')
#section('scripts')
Your Scripts
#stop
#section('content')
Your content
#stop
It's that simple. This is very powerful stuff, as it gives you the ability to set a default but also override it if necessary, keeping your views very clean and minimal.
A better way to do this though would be to do:
#extends('layouts.frontend.master')
#section('head')
#parent
Your Scripts
#stop
#section('content')
Your content
#stop
Then you can remove the #section('scripts') declaration from your master layout. Using the #parent helper will allow you to append content to a section, thus keeping it's default while adding the extra content you have specified in your view.
You can also provide default content for #yield declarations, like so #yield('content', 'Default content').

First make a common header layout.
app/views/layouts/header.blade.php - header layout
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ $page->title }}</title> {{-- Getting title from $page object, which is passed from route --}}
{{ HTML::style('css/common.css') }}
{{ HTML::script('js/jquery.js') }}
{{ HTML::script('js/common.js') }}
Then page specific script layout.
app/views/layouts/script-about.blade.php - about-page script layout
{{ HTML::script('js/about.js') }}
Then view for specific page.
app/views/about.blade.php - about page
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('content')
<p>About-Us page content goes here</p>
#stop
Then common footer.
app/views/layouts/footer.blade.php - footer layout
</body>
</html>
Then the main layout to render.
app/views/layouts/master.blade.php - main layout
#include('layouts.header')
#include('layouts.script-'.$page->slug) {{-- Getting page name from $page object --}}
</head>
<body>
#yield('content')
#include('layouts.footer')
And from the route, you can pass the $page variable. You may like this route,
Route::get('{slug}', function($slug) {
$page = Page::where('slug', '=', $slug)->first();
// getting the datas from Page model with pages table where slug = last uri in your address-bar
if ( is_null($page) ) { // if no page in db, call 404
App::abort(404);
}
// render the view with page details
return View::make($page->slug)->with(array('page' => $page));
});
In laravel 5.4 as stated in the document
You can simply use stacks(#stack and #push) to be able to load CSS and JS from subviews(child views).
Add #stack to your layout where you want JS files or CSS files to be added from child views to layout.
Here I will define two stacks in the layout file one for CSS files and one for JS files. I give the first and the second stacks arbitrary name for instance styles and scripts
we want our CSS files to be loaded in the part of layout file
<head>
#stack('styles')
</head>
and let's say we want our scripts to be added right be for the closing body tag
in layout file
#stack('scripts')
</body>
now in the child view i can easily add CSS and JS files like this
#push('styles')
<style rel="stylesheet" href="{{asset('dropzone/dist/min/dropzone.min.css') }}" ></style>
#endpush
#push('scripts')
<script src="{{ asset('dropzone/dist/min/dropzone.min.js') }}"></script>
#endpush
