Switch via Blade

A php switch statement implemented via blade.

The switch statement is similar to a series of IF statements on the same expression. In many occasions, you may want to compare the same variable (or expression) with many different values, and execute a different piece of code depending on which value it equals to. This is exactly what the switch statement is for.

@switch(expression, caseStatement1 [, caseStatement2, caseStatement3...]) This is the blade call to start the switch. It requires the expression and the first case statement. Optionally you can add as many case statements as you would like, which would all execute the code between the start of the switch and the first @endcase call.

@endcase Add this to end the case statement. Only one is needed to stop all prior cases.

@case(caseStatement1 [, caseStatement2, caseStatement3...]) Add this to start a case statement. Optionally you can add as many case statements as you would like, which would all execute the code between the @case and next @endcase call.

@defaultcase Add this near the bottom of the switch to handle any variants of the expression which may not have been captured by a case statement. No end case is necessary since it will end with @endswitch

@endswitch Add this to end your switch statement

@endifnull Ends if null statement

@notnull(variable) If variable is not null

@endnotnull Ends not null statement



Optional Yield

@optional('section') Outputs the content wrapped only if the referenced section has value

@endoptional Ends optional output statement



File exists
