In this tutorial, I will give you an example of “How to manage different headers and footers on each page in Laravel”, so you can easily apply it to your Laravel 5, Laravel 6, Laravel 7, Laravel 8, Laravel 9, and Laravel 10 applications.
Make different headers and footers on each page in Laravel
In Laravel, you can achieve different headers and footers on each page by using a combination of Blade templates and layout files. Blade is the templating engine provided by Laravel. Here’s a simple example:

Need to Show Different Headers and Footers on Different Pages in Laravel
We have multiple pages like home, about, and service. We want to show the first common header on the home page and about the blade file, but for some design update or a specific reason, we want to show different headers and footers in the service blade file in the Laravel application. So we use the naming route to show Url-based hide in the blade file in Laravel
Let’s understand with an example of a URL-based show and hide in the blade file in the Laravel application.
Create these 3 Files: resources\views\layouts
- app.blade.php
- header.blade.php
- footer.blade.php
app.blade.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Url-based show hide in the blade file example in Laravel</title>

.footer2 {

#Url-based show hide section in the blade file in Laravel Example
Route::view('/home','pages.home')->name('homePage');
Route::view('/about','pages.about')->name('aboutPage');
Route::view('/service','pages.service')->name('servicePage');
Route::view('/contact','pages.contact')->name('contactPage');
Create these 4 Files: resources\views\pages
- home.blade.php

- service.blade.php
- contact.blade.php

<h3>Home Page</h3>
<p>Use the justify-content-center class to center the navigation bar.</p>

Note :
You can also do these steps directly in the app.blade.php file using multiple headers and footers in the Laravel application, like this:
app.blade.php
<body>
@if(Route::current()->getName() == 'homePage')
@include('layouts.header1')
@elseif(Route::current()->getName() == 'aboutPage')
@include('layouts.header2')
@endif
@yield('content')
@include('layouts.footer')
@if(Route::current()->getName() == 'homePage')
@include('layouts.footer1')
@elseif(Route::current()->getName() == 'aboutPage')
@include('layouts.footer2')
</body>
</html>
