How to include a sub-view in Blade templates?

I am trying to set up a site using laravel, but I'm really having trouble with basic things that the documentation just doesn't cover.

In this case, 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?

Solution

  • EDIT: Below was the preferred solution in 2014. Nowadays you should use @include, as mentioned in the other answer.

    In Laravel views the dot is used as folder separator. So for example I have this code

    return View::make('auth.details', array('id' => $id));

    which points to app/views/auth/details.blade.php

    And to include a view inside a view you do like this:

    file: layout.blade.php

    <html>
  <html stuff>
  @yield('content')
</html>

    file: hello.blade.php

    @extends('layout')

@section('content')
  <html stuff>
@stop
