Laravel Blade Variable Assign In Template

This package is heavily inspirated from alexdover/blade-set after this discussion.

A very simple blade extension which allows variables to be set within blade templates.

This versions is for Laravel v. 5-6-7-8-9 and should work with future versions of Laravel, if don't, please mail me.

Usage Examples

@set('myVariable', $existing_variable)

// or

@set("myVariable", "Hello, World!")

Then you can use the variable $myVariable in the blade template.

{{ $myVariable }}

You might choose to fetch a bunch of models from your template, for example

@set('myModelList', MyModel::where('something', '=', 1)->paginate(10))

Available Operators [set, var, assign]

@set('username', 'sineld')

@var("username", "sineld")

@assign('username', 'sineld')

Tip: You can assign your own operator in config file!

Why?

Compare

<?php $myModelList = MyModel::where('something', '=', 1)->paginate(10); ?>

to

@set('myModelList', MyModel::where('something', '=', 1)->paginate(10))

I felt that the use of the @set was a more elegant solution in the context of blade templates.

Another reason (from github issue page):

An example where setting and keeping track of a variable inside a template using this sytax would be processing a list of things where each thing has a week and you want to set a week header for each group of weeks:

@set('week', 0);

@foreach ($things as $thing)
  @if ($week != $thing->week)
    WEEK {{ $thing->week }}
    @set('week', $thing->week)
  @endif

  Title: {{ $thing->title }}
@endforeach
