The ability to create modular and reusable components in Laravel 10 can dramatically improve the productivity and maintainability of your software. Reusable components not only encourage code reuse but also create a clean and organised framework for your Laravel apps.

We will take you on a journey to learn the art of developing reusable components in Laravel 10 in this detailed tutorial. We will walk you through the process of modularly architecting your code, allowing you to isolate common functionalities into reusable components that can be utilised across your application.

Components in Laravel are reusable and modular pieces of code that may be merged to build larger and more complicated apps. Tutorial is super easy to understand and easy to follow to implement it.

Laravel provide components and slots for creating blade component sections in application.

Let’s get started.

Laravel Installation

Open terminal and run this command to create a laravel project.

composer create-project laravel/laravel myblog

It will create a project folder with name myblog inside your local system.

To start the development server of laravel –

php artisan serve

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000

Assuming laravel already installed inside your system.

How To Create a Reusable Component File

Create components folder inside /resources/views folder.

Create a file with name message.blade.php inside /components folder.

Open message.blade.php and write this code into it.

<div class="panel {{ $class }}">
    <div class="panel-heading">{{ $title }}</div>
    <div class="panel-body">{{ $slot }}</div>
</div>

Here, you can see we have 3 placeholders as $class, $title and $slot.

When we will use this component then according to usage type we will replace these placeholder values.

Create a Layout File

Create a my-template.blade.php blade layout file inside /resources/views folder.

Open my-template.blade.php and write this code into it.

Concept

    <!-- For Success -->
    @component('components.message')  ----> message component   

        @slot('class')
            panel-success  ----> component class
        @endslot

        @slot('title')
            This is from Online Web Tutor  ----> component title
        @endslot

        Custom components with success class  ----> slot
    @endcomponent

Code Explanation

@component(‘components.message’) … @endcomponent is used to use the component. It uses message.blade.php from components folder.
@slot(‘class’) … @endslot It used to place dynamic value for class ($class) placeholder. Same will be for $title placeholder.
Custom message – Custom components with success class will be rendered using $slot placeholder.

//...

Route::get('my-message', function () {

    return view('my-template');

});

//...

Application Testing

Run this command into project terminal to start development server,

php artisan serve

URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/my-message
