Displaying posts in custom formation - laravel

Question

I would like to output posts in order provided by this image (every 3 posts)
here is my blade code:
<section class="blog_area p_120">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8">
<div class="blog_left_sidebar">
#foreach ($raksti as $raksts)
<article class="blog_style1">
<div class="blog_img">
<img class="img-fluid" src="{{$raksts->image}}" alt="">
</div>
<div class="blog_text">
<div class="blog_text_inner">
<div class="cat">
<a class="cat_btn" href="#">{{$raksts->kato->title}}</a>
<i class="fa fa-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> {{$raksts->created_at}}
<i class="fa fa-comments-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> 05
</div>
<a href="#">
<h4>{{$raksts->title}}</h4>
</a>
<p>{{$raksts->short_desc}}</p>
<a class="blog_btn" href="#">Lasīt vairāk</a>
</div>
</div>
</article>
#endforeach
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
For those small blocks the "article" tag have class ="blog_style1 small"
I guess that there need to work with a "for" loop, so can anyone help me to achieve this task and explain a little how that works?

Answer 1

Take a look, you need to tell your code that one image of three has to be wide.
So that you can use modulo:
#foreach ($raksti as $key => $value)
#if($key % 3 = 0)
// set width 100%
#else
// set width 50%
#endif
#endforeach
That makes every third element as 100% wide.

Answer 2

try next code
#foreach ($raksti as $key => $raksts)
//
#if($key % 3 == 1)
// set here style css width 100 %
#else
// set here style css width 50 %
#endif
#endforeach

Answer 3

Laravel has loop variables:
https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/blade#the-loop-variable
You can use $loop->index inside yor foreach and check whether your article must have class small
<article class="blog_style1 #if($loop->index % 3 !== 0) small #endif">
Or you can simply use CSS nth-child

Answer 4

Give class small each third element
<section class="blog_area p_120">
<div class="container">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-lg-8">
<div class="blog_left_sidebar">
#foreach ($raksti as $key => $raksts)
<article class="blog_style1 {{ ($key % 3 != 0) ? 'small' : '' }}">
<div class="blog_img">
<img class="img-fluid" src="{{$raksts->image}}" alt="">
</div>
<div class="blog_text">
<div class="blog_text_inner">
<div class="cat">
<a class="cat_btn" href="#">{{$raksts->kato->title}}</a>
<i class="fa fa-calendar" aria-hidden="true"></i> {{$raksts->created_at}}
<i class="fa fa-comments-o" aria-hidden="true"></i> 05
</div>
<a href="#">
<h4>{{$raksts->title}}</h4>
</a>
<p>{{$raksts->short_desc}}</p>
<a class="blog_btn" href="#">Lasīt vairāk</a>
</div>
</div>
</article>
#endforeach
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</section>
Hope this helps you

no need to do this in the backend. Use the nth-child functionality of CSS:
.blog_style1{
width: 50%;
}
.blog_style1:nth-child(4n){
width: 100%;
}
