Conditional extends in Blade

Question

Is there any way to do a conditional @extends statement in the Blade templating language?

What I\'ve tried:

@if(!Request::ajax())
             


        

Answer 1

This kind of logic should really be kept out of the template.

In your controller set the $layout property to be dashboard.master then instead of calling returning your view or response, terminate with just $this->layout->content = View::make('dashboard.template')

Take a look at the Laravel docs on this

You could end up with something like this

<?php

class Something extends BaseController {

    $layout = 'dashboard.master';

    public function getIndex()
    {
        $template = View::make('dashboard.template');

        if(Request::ajax()) {
            return $template;
        }

        $this->layout->content = $template;
    }
}

Answer 2

@extends((( Request::ajax()) ? 'layouts.ajax' : 'layouts.default' ))

Answer 3

in the master layout:

   @if(!Request::ajax())

       //the master layout with @yield('content'). i.e. your current layout

   @else

       @yield('content')

   @endif
