Extending Layouts

@extends

The @extends directive is used to inherit a layout.

@extends('layout.name')

@section

The @section directive defines a section that can be overwritten in child views.

@section('sectionName')
    // content of the section
@endsection

@yield

The @yield directive is used to output the contents of a section.

@yield('sectionName')

@parent

The @parent directive is used to display the content of the parent section.

@section('sectionName')
    @parent
    // additional content
@endsection

Including Sub-Views

@include

The @include directive is used to include a sub-view.

@include('view.name')

Control Structures

@if

The @if directive is used for conditional statements.

@if($condition)
    // code to execute if condition is true
@elseif($anotherCondition)
    // code to execute if another condition is true
@else
    // code to execute if none of the conditions are true
@endif

@empty

The @empty directive checks if a variable is empty.

@empty($variable)
    // code to execute if the variable is empty
@endempty

Looping Structures

@foreach

The @foreach directive is used to iterate over arrays or objects.

@foreach($items as $item)
    // code to execute for each item
@endforeach

@for

The @for directive is used for simple loop iterations.

@for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++)
    // code to execute for each iteration
@endfor

@forelse

The @forelse directive is used to display a list of items with an optional message if the list is empty.

@forelse($items as $item)
    // code to execute for each item
@empty
    // code to execute if the list is empty
@endforelse

@while

The @while directive is used for indefinite loop iterations.

@while($condition)
    // code to execute while the condition is true
@endwhile

Outputting Data

The {{}} Directive

The {{ }} directive is used to echo the contents of a variable.

{{ $variable }}

The {{!! !!}} Directive

The {!! !!} directive outputs the contents without escaping HTML entities.

{!! $htmlContent !!}

Comments

The {{-- --}} directive is used to add comments in Blade templates.

{{-- This is a blade comment --}}

Authentication Directives

@auth

The @auth directive checks if the user is authenticated.

@auth
    // code to execute if the user is authenticated
@endauth

@guest

The @guest directive checks if the user is a guest.

@guest
    // code to execute if the user is a guest
@endguest

Authorization Directives

@can

The @can directive checks if the user has a certain permission.

@can('permissionName')
    // code to execute if the user has the permission
@endcan

@cannot

The @cannot directive checks if the user does not have a certain permission.

@cannot('permissionName')
    // code to execute if the user does not have the permission
@endcannot

@canany

The @canany directive checks if the user has any of the given permissions.

@canany(['permission1', 'permission2', ... , 'permissionN'])
    // code to execute if the user has any of the given permissions
@endcanany

Environment Directives

@env

The @env directive checks the application environment.

@env('local')
    // code to execute if the application is in the local environment
@endenv

@production

The @production directive checks if the application is in production environment.

@production
    // code to execute if the application is in production environment
@endproduction

These are the commonly used Blade directives in Laravel for templating and controlling the presentation logic of your views.
