Controller Layouts

One method of using templates in Laravel is via controller layouts. By specifying the layout property on the controller, the view specified will be created for you and will be the assumed response that should be returned from actions.

Defining A Layout On A Controller

class UserController extends BaseController {

	/**
	 * The layout that should be used for responses.
	 */
	protected $layout = 'layouts.master';

	/**
	 * Show the user profile.
	 */
	public function showProfile()
	{
		$this->layout->content = View::make('user.profile');
	}

}

Blade Templating

Blade is a simple, yet powerful templating engine provided with Laravel. Unlike controller layouts, Blade is driven by template inheritance and sections. All Blade templates should use the .blade.php extension.

Defining A Blade Layout

<!-- Stored in app/views/layouts/master.blade.php -->

<html>
	<body>
		@section('sidebar')
			This is the master sidebar.
		@stop

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

Using A Blade Layout

@extends('layouts.master')

@section('sidebar')
	@parent

	<p>This is appended to the master sidebar.</p>
@stop

@section('content')
	<p>This is my body content.</p>
@stop

Note that views which extend a Blade layout simply override sections from the layout. Content of the layout can be included in a child view using the @parent directive in a section, allowing you to append to the contents of a layout section such as a sidebar or footer.

Other Blade Control Structures

Echoing Data

Hello, {{ $name }}.

The current UNIX timestamp is {{ time() }}.

If Statements

@if (count($records) > 0)
	I have records!
@else
	I don't have any records!
@endif

@unless (Auth::check())
	You are not signed in.
@endunless

Loops

@for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
	The current value is {{ $i }}
@endfor

@foreach ($users as $user)
	<p>This is user {{ $user->id }}</p>
@endforeach

@while (true)
	<p>I'm looping forever.</p>
@endwhile

Including Sub-Views

@include('view.name')
