Html Templating in Laravel 9

In this tutorial, I will give you an example of “Html Templating in Laravel 9”, So you can easily apply it to your Laravel 9 application.

First, what we’re doing here, This is the example :

Integrating Bootstrap Template with Laravel 9

Html Templating in Laravel 9 (Using Laravel Blade Component Instead of @extends Directive)

Components and slots provide similar benefits to sections, layouts, and includes; however, some may find the mental model of components and slots easier to understand. There are two approaches to writing components: class-based components and anonymous components.

Integrate the bootstrap template with Laravel 9

We can convert our HTML and bootstrap template in laravel using multiple ways there are basically two ways to convert templates in laravel using @extends and component.

We will create a separate file and create a component and register it using the service provider because it will reduce code and save us time, using a service provider you don’t need to add a master file in every blade file.

Let’s Create Layout Using Laravel Blade Templating Engine

I will convert a bootstrap template into Laravel layouts, for this, I am using the AdminLTE Bootstrap Admin Dashboard Template which is free and paid, we will use the free version.

I have already downloaded it from the admin LTE official website.

Create a Master File => views\layouts\app.blade.php

I will use @include to bring in tiny parts and {{ slot }}, the slot allows you to do is inject dynamic content into the blade component,

Note: If you are working in Laravel-livewire, you can create a service provider for blade components, it will help you whenever you create a component the layouts and app file will automatically be defined.

In this article, we learned “How to Integrating Bootstrap Template with Laravel 9”, I hope this article will help you with your Laravel application Project.
