I am studying Laravel 4 for a couple days and I am still confused how I can insert a partial view inside another view or layout. On official documentation of Laravel, they talk about using "sub-view" on controller, using following code:
$view = View::make('greeting')->nest('child', 'child.view', $data);
But what I want to do is insert a partial view directly into my "mastaer layout". It's better to explain with codes.
I have this partial view with "messages div" localized in views/template/messages.blade.php:
@section('messages')
<div id="message">
@if (isset($errors) && !$errors->isEmpty())
<!-- Error or fatal messages -->
<div class="panel panel-danger">
<div class="panel-heading">{{ Lang::choice('error.message.title', $errors->count()) }}</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<ul class="list-group">
@foreach($errors->getMessages() as $errorMessage)
<li class="list-group-item">{{ $errorMessage }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
</div>
</div>
@elseif (isset($warnings) && !$warnings->isEmpty())
<!-- Warning messages -->
<div class="panel panel-warning">
<div class="panel-heading">{{ Lang::choice('warn.message.title', $warnings->count()) }}</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<ul class="list-group">
@foreach($warnings->getMessages() as $warnMessage)
<li class="list-group-item">{{ $warnMessage }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
</div>
</div>
@elseif (isset($successes) && !$successes->isEmpty())
<!-- Successes messages -->
<div class="panel panel-success">
<div class="panel-heading">{{ Lang::choice('success.message.title', $successes->count()) }}</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<ul class="list-group">
@foreach($successes->getMessages() as $successMessage)
<li class="list-group-item">{{ $successMessage }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
</div>
</div>
@elseif (isset($infos) && !$infos->isEmpty())
<!-- Informations messages -->
<div class="panel panel-info">
<div class="panel-heading">{{ Lang::choice('info.message.title', $infos->count()) }}</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<ul class="list-group">
@foreach($infos->getMessages() as $infoMessage)
<li class="list-group-item">{{ $infoMessage }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
</div>
</div>
@else
<!-- Default / no format message -->
<div class="panel panel-default">
<div class="panel-heading">{{ Lang::choice('default.message.title', $messages->count()) }}</div>
<div class="panel-body">
<ul class="list-group">
@foreach($messages->getMessages() as $message)
<li class="list-group-item">{{ $message }}</li>
@endforeach
</ul>
</div>
</div>
@endif
</div>
@stop
My master template is localized in views/layout.blade.php something like that:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ App::getLocale() }}">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
{{ HTML::script('js/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.js') }}
{{ HTML::script('js/jquery/jquery-2.1.1.min.js') }}
{{ HTML::style('css/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.css') }}
{{ HTML::style('css/bootstrap/bootstrap-theme.min.css') }}
{{ HTML::style('css/custom/custom.css') }}
<title>Title of the document</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="generalwrapper">
<div id="headerwrapper">
HEADER
</div>
<div id="menuwrapper">
MENU
</div>
{{ INSERT MESSAGES VIEW HERE }}
<div id="content" class="container-fluid">
@yield('content')
</div>
<div id="footerwrapper">
FOOTER
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
How can I insert my messages.blade.php into layout.blade.php? This way, can I send messages for every view that uses layout.blade.php?
