That FREE video tutorial series has most things you need to know to get started with Laravel.
You'd be wise to invest some time and watch those videos a couple of times, they will teach you a lot and save you time and headaches.
Basically yield('content') is a marker. For example, in the tag if you put a yield('content'), your saying this section has the name of content and by the way, you can name inside of the pranthesis anything you want. it doesn't have to be content. it can be yield('inside'). or anything you want.
And then in the child page where you want to import html from your layout page, you just say section('name of the section'). for example, if you have marked your header in your layout page as yield('my_head_band') <-- or anything else you want, then in your child page you just say @section('my_head_band').
This would import the header from the layout page into your child page. vice versa with your body section which in this case was named as content.
Hope this helps.
@raminjan It Helps me lot. Thank you
@include and @yield are two completely different types of operations to import code into the current file.
@include - import the contents of a separate file into the current file at the location in which it is placed. i.e.:
Layout file:
< some html or other script >
@include('include.file_name') // "include." indicates the subdirectory that the file is in
< more html or other script >
Include File ( a blade file with a block of code ):
< some cool code here >
The contents of 'file_name' ( also a blade file ) is then imported in where the @include directive is located.
@yield imports code from a "section" in the child file ( the "view" blade file. ) i.e.:
Layout file:
< some html or other script >
@yield('needed_section_name')
< more html or other script >
The following section is needed in the "view" blade file that is set to "extend" that layout file.
"View" blade file:
@extends('layout.file_name')
... code as neeeded
@section('needed_section_name')
< some cool code here >
@stop
...
more code as needed
Now the layout file will import in the section of code that matches the naming used.
