Laravel — P68: Defining Custom Directives in Blade

How many times have you wished that a specific directive existed in Blade? If the answer to that question is “many,” then do I have a surprise for you. You can create your own directives in Blade.

First, you need to create a service provider using the php artisan make:provider command. This provider will register your Blade directives with Laravel.

# php artisan make:provider CustomBladeServiceProvider

   INFO  Provider [app/Providers/CustomBladeServiceProvider.php] created successfully.  

#

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class CustomBladeServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Register services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function register()
    {
        //
    }

    /**
     * Bootstrap services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        //
    }
}

Next, you need to register the provider in the config/app.php file.

'providers' => [

        /*
         * Laravel Framework Service Providers...
         */
        // ...
        App\Providers\CustomBladeServiceProvider::class,

In your CustomBladeServiceProvider class, you can define your custom Blade directive using the Blade::directive method.
