Hello! You amazing people, I am back with a new article where I will discuss on @stack, @push & @prepend directive in Laravel Blade templating.
There will be a lot of different opinions on how to use the blade template directives. It may vary from developer to developer. In this article, I will do my best to make you understand some of my knowledge on @stack, @push & @prepend.
Regular Templating (@yield & @section)
Most of the time while your working on Laravel blade templating you use @yield as follows
master.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Laravel Blade Templating Demo</title>
<link href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" rel="stylesheet">
@yield('stylesheets')
</head>
<body>
@yield('content')
@yield('javascripts')
</body>
</html>
You will extend all your child templates with @section directive as follows
child.blade.php
@extends('layouts.master')
<!-- Start of Stylesheets -->
@section('stylesheets')
<style>
.text-green{ color: #008000; }
</style>
@endsection
<!-- Start of Javascript -->
@section('javascripts')
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.min.js"></script>
@endsection
<!-- Start of content -->
@section('content')
Some random content
@endsection
Basically @yield will be replaced with @section content.
NOTE: You can't use same sections directives twice in your blade template ie @section('javscripts') or @section('stylesheets'). If you try to use then only the first one will work.Disadvantage Of Above Template
Consider, if you would like to add anything before the @yield or after that @yield directive, or if your child blade template has partials where you would like to add something then it will be nightmare.
Can't prepend or append to the parent @yield directive. Can be achieved with @parent directive, but not completely and even few beginners find it complicated.
Advance Templating (@stack, @push & @prepend)
But don't worry @stack @push @prepend will come to your rescue.
@stack - It is basically a basket that hold's all the things that are pushed from the child blade template. You may push to a stack as many times as needed.
To render the complete stack contents, pass the name of the stack to the @stack directive
@push - This is used to append the codes to parent template @stack directive
@prepend - If you would like to put anything before @stack code then you will use @prepend to put the content before it.
Blade template allows you to push to named stacks which can be rendered somewhere else in another view or layout.
master.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>Form Upload</title>
@stack('stylesheets')
</head>
<body>
@yield('content')
@stack('javascripts')
</body>
</html>
Now you can use this as follows
@extends('layouts.master')
@push('stylesheets')
<style>
body{ background: green; }
</style>
@endpush
@push('stylesheets')
<style>
body{ color: #fff; }
</style>
@endpush
@prepend('stylesheets')
<style>
body{ font-weight: bold; }
</style>
@endprepend
@section('content')
some content
@endsection
If you have observed carefully we have used @push('stylesheets') 2 times. Oh! Yes, that works perfectly fine.
@prepend directive will prepend its content above its top 2 @push('stylesheets') directives
NOTE: Basically you can use @stack with Javascripts a lot. For Eg: If you want to prepend some libraries from the master blade template.
Conclusion
Ya I know it's the least used in templating as many of them might not have come across. But ya it's totally worth using in your next project.
