How to include a sub-view in Blade templates in Laravel

Question

Hii,

I see that it says I can include one view inside another by using @include('view.name'). What is view.name? Where is it saved? I tried creating a file app/views/view.name.blade.php, but it wasn't read. How does the file name map to the blade name?

Hello @kartik,

You can use the blade template engine:

@include('view.name') 

'view.name' would live in your main views folder:

// for laravel 4.X
app/views/view/name.blade.php  

// for laravel 5.X
resources/views/view/name.blade.php

Another example

@include('hello.world');

would display the following view

// for laravel 4.X
app/views/hello/world.blade.php

// for laravel 5.X
resources/views/hello/world.blade.php

So basically the dot notation defines the directory hierarchy that your view is in, followed by the view name, relative to app/views folder for laravel 4.x or your resources/views folder in laravel 5.x

Hope this will help you to understand!

Thank you!!
