laravel blade include files with relative path - laravel

Question

In laravel blade system when we want to include a partial blade file we have to write the full path every time for each file. and when we rename a folder then we will have to check every #include of files inside it. sometimes it would be really easy to include with relative paths. is there any way to do that?
for example we have a blade file in this path :
resources/views/desktop/modules/home/home.blade.php
and I need to include a blade file that is near that file :
#include('desktop.modules.home.slide')
with relative path it would be something like this :
#include('.slide')
is there any way to do this?

Answer 1

if someone still interest with relative path to current view file, put this code in the boot method of AppServiceProvider.php or any provider you wish
Blade::directive('relativeInclude', function ($args) {
$args = Blade::stripParentheses($args);
$viewBasePath = Blade::getPath();
foreach ($this->app['config']['view.paths'] as $path) {
if (substr($viewBasePath,0,strlen($path)) === $path) {
$viewBasePath = substr($viewBasePath,strlen($path));
break;
}
}
$viewBasePath = dirname(trim($viewBasePath,'\/'));
$args = substr_replace($args, $viewBasePath.'.', 1, 0);
return "<?php echo \$__env->make({$args}, \Illuminate\Support\Arr::except(get_defined_vars(), ['__data', '__path']))->render(); ?>";
});
and then use
#relativeInclude('partials.content', $data)
to include the content.blade.php from the sibling directory called partials
good luck for everyone

you need to create custom blade directive for that, the native include directive doesn't work like that.
read this page to learn how to create custom blade directive :
https://scotch.io/tutorials/all-about-writing-custom-blade-directives
\Blade::directive('include2', function ($path_relative) {
$view_file_root = ''; // you need to find this path with help of php functions, try some of them.
$full_path = $view_file_root . path_relative;
return view::make($full_path)->render();
});
then in blade file you can use relative path to include view files :
#include2('.slide')
I tried to tell you the idea. try and test yourself.

There’s now a package doing both relative and absolute includes (lfukumori/laravel-blade-include-relative) working with #include, #includeIf, #includeWhen, #each and #includeFirst directives. I just pulled it in a project, it works well.

A sleek option, in case you want to organise view files in sub-folders:
public function ...(Request $request) {
$blade_path = "folder.subfolder.subsubfolder.";
$data = (object)array(
".." => "..",
".." => $..,
"blade_path" => $blade_path,
);
return view($data->blade_path . 'view_file_name', compact('data'));
}
Then in the view blade (or wherever else you want to include):
#include($blade_path . 'another_view_file_name')
