Laravel Blade Tutorial for Beginners (2025)

Blade is Laravel’s simple, yet powerful templating engine. In this step-by-step Laravel Blade tutorial (2025), you’ll learn how to build dynamic and reusable HTML templates using Blade — from basic syntax to layout inheritance and components.

🧠 What is Blade in Laravel?

Blade is Laravel’s built-in template engine that lets you write clean, readable HTML mixed with Laravel-specific syntax. Blade files have the .blade.php extension and are stored in the resources/views directory.

📁 Creating a Blade View

To create your first Blade file:

resources/views/welcome.blade.php

Example content:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Welcome Page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <h1>Welcome to Laravel Blade!</h1>
  </body>
</html>

🧩 Blade Templating Syntax

Here are common Blade syntax elements:

Echo output: {{ $variable }}
If/Else: @if, @elseif, @else, @endif
For loops: @for, @foreach, @while
Include: @include('partial')

💡 Example: Using Blade Variables

<h1>Hello, {{ $name }}!</h1>

In your controller:

return view('welcome', ['name' => 'Birendra']);

📦 Blade Conditionals

@if($isAdmin)
  <p>Welcome, Admin!</p>
@else
  <p>Welcome, Guest!</p>
@endif

🔁 Blade Loops

@foreach($users as $user)
  <li>{{ $user->name }}</li>
@endforeach

📐 Layouts and Sections

You can create reusable templates using @extends, @section, and @yield.

1. Create a layout: resources/views/layouts/app.blade.php

<html>
  <body>
    <header>Laravel Blog</header>
    @yield('content')
    <footer>© 2025</footer>
  </body>
</html>

2. Extend the layout in your view:

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
  <h1>This is the blog post</h1>
@endsection

🧱 Blade Components (Optional)

Blade lets you build reusable UI components using php artisan make:component.

Create a button component:

php artisan make:component Button

Then use it like:

<x-button>Click Me</x-button>

📌 Where to Store Blade Files?

Pages: resources/views
Partials: resources/views/partials
Layouts: resources/views/layouts
Components: resources/views/components

✅ Final Tips for Blade Beginners

Use layout inheritance to avoid repeated HTML
Keep logic inside controllers — not views
Use components for reusable UI
Use @include for headers/footers
Don’t overuse logic in Blade — keep it clean
