Blade Templating Flashcards
(25 cards)
What is Blade templating in Laravel?
Blade is Laravel’s templating engine for creating dynamic HTML views with PHP syntax.
Blade simplifies view creation, like WordPress’s theme templates (e.g., index.php). It uses .blade.php files in resources/views. Freelancers build user interfaces, while enterprise architects ensure maintainable templates, aligning with your WordPress theme development experience.
Where are Blade templates stored in Laravel?
Blade templates are stored in the resources/views directory, like resources/views/home.blade.php.
Similar to WordPress’s wp-content/themes, this directory holds view files. Freelancers create templates here, while enterprise architects organize views for scalability, per your Laravel Fundamentals knowledge.
How do you display a variable in a Blade template?
Use double curly braces, like {{ $name }}.
Outputs escaped data, like WordPress’s the_title(). It prevents XSS by default. Freelancers display dynamic data, while enterprise architects ensure secure output, per your PHP security deck.
What is the @if directive in Blade?
The @if directive handles conditional logic, like @if($user) Welcome, {{ $user->name }} @endif.
Similar to WordPress’s if (is_user_logged_in()). Freelancers use it for conditional content, while enterprise architects optimize logic, per your WordPress templating skills.
How do you use the @else directive in Blade?
Use @else within @if, like @if($count > 0) Data found @else No data @endif.
Provides alternatives, like WordPress’s else in templates. Freelancers display fallbacks, while enterprise architects ensure clean conditionals, per your PHP control structures deck.
What is the @foreach directive in Blade?
The @foreach directive loops over arrays, like @foreach($users as $user) {{ $user->name }} @endforeach.
Like WordPress’s foreach ($posts as $post), it iterates data. Freelancers list items, while enterprise architects optimize loops, per your PHP arrays deck.
How do you access the loop variable in a @foreach directive?
Use $loop, like @foreach($users as $user) {{ $loop->index }} @endforeach.
$loop provides metadata (e.g., index, count), unlike WordPress’s manual counters. Freelancers use it for numbering, while enterprise architects leverage it for dynamic displays.
What is the @for directive in Blade?
The @for directive creates a numeric loop, like @for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {{ $i }} @endfor.
Similar to PHP’s for loop in WordPress templates. Freelancers use it for fixed iterations, while enterprise architects minimize its use for readability, per your PHP loops deck.
What is template inheritance in Blade?
Template inheritance allows layouts to define reusable structures, using @extends and @section.
Like WordPress’s get_header(), it enables consistent designs. Freelancers create layouts, while enterprise architects ensure modular templates, per your WordPress theme development.
How do you define a Blade layout?
Create a layout file with @yield, like @yield(‘content’) in resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php.
Defines placeholders, like WordPress’s get_template_part(). Freelancers build base layouts, while enterprise architects standardize them, per your templating experience.
How do you extend a Blade layout?
Use @extends, like @extends(‘layouts.app’) in a child view.
Inherits a layout, like WordPress’s get_header(). Freelancers extend layouts for pages, while enterprise architects ensure reusable designs, per your WordPress themes.
What is the @section directive in Blade?
The @section directive defines content for a layout’s @yield, like @section(‘content’) Hello @endsection.
Fills placeholders, like WordPress’s template sections. Freelancers define page content, while enterprise architects manage section overrides.
How do you include a partial in Blade?
Use @include, like @include(‘partials.header’).
Adds reusable views, like WordPress’s get_template_part(). Freelancers include headers, while enterprise architects optimize partials, per your WordPress templating skills.
What is the @component directive in Blade?
The @component directive renders a reusable component, like @component(‘alert’) Message @endcomponent.
Like WordPress’s shortcodes, it encapsulates UI elements. Freelancers create components, while enterprise architects ensure reusability, per your PHP functions deck.
How do you create a Blade component?
Use php artisan make:component Alert to generate a component class and view.
Creates app/View/Components/Alert.php and resources/views/components/alert.blade.php. Freelancers build UI elements, while enterprise architects standardize components.
What is the @slot directive in Blade components?
The @slot directive passes content to a component, like @component(‘alert’) @slot(‘title’) Warning @endslot Message @endcomponent.
Customizes components, like WordPress’s shortcode attributes. Freelancers use slots for flexibility, while enterprise architects manage complex layouts.
How do you display unescaped data in Blade?
Use {!! $data !!}, like {!! $html !!}.
Bypasses escaping, like WordPress’s echo $content. Use cautiously due to XSS risks. Freelancers avoid it unless necessary, while enterprise architects enforce escaping, per your security deck.
What is the @verbatim directive in Blade?
The @verbatim directive renders raw JavaScript without parsing, like @verbatim {{ data }} @endverbatim.
Prevents Blade from processing curly braces, unlike WordPress’s raw output. Freelancers use it for JS frameworks, while enterprise architects ensure secure rendering.
How do you handle errors in Blade templates?
Use @error, like @error(‘email’) {{ $message }} @enderror.
Displays validation errors, like WordPress’s form notices. Freelancers show errors, while enterprise architects customize error display, per your Controllers and Requests deck.
What is the @auth directive in Blade?
The @auth directive checks if a user is logged in, like @auth Welcome, {{ auth()->user()->name }} @endauth.
Like WordPress’s is_user_logged_in(). Freelancers restrict content, while enterprise architects integrate with auth systems, per your authentication interest.
What is the @guest directive in Blade? Answer: The @guest directive checks if a user is not logged in, like @guest Please login @endguest.
Like WordPress’s guest checks. Freelancers show login prompts, while enterprise architects manage guest flows, per your Laravel authentication knowledge.
How do you pass data to a Blade view?
Use view() with data, like return view(‘home’, [‘users’ => $users]).
Like WordPress’s template variables. Freelancers pass dynamic data, while enterprise architects optimize data transfer, per your Controllers and Requests deck.
What is the @php directive in Blade?
The @php directive executes raw PHP, like @php $count = count($users); @endphp.
Like PHP in WordPress templates, use sparingly. Freelancers avoid overuse, while enterprise architects prefer controller logic, per your PHP core concepts.
How do you optimize Blade template performance?
Cache views with php artisan view:cache and minimize complex logic in templates.
Like WordPress’s template caching. Freelancers optimize rendering, while enterprise architects scale views, per your LAMP performance deck.
