Like how do you make sure your javascript loads only on the pages you need it?
The typical thing to do is to add @yield('scripts') in your layouts/app view, so then you can always add the javascript with a section in each page.
app.blade.php
....
@yield('scripts')
</body>
</html>
another-view.blade.php
@section('scripts')
<script>
//
</script>
@endsection
so... just write them inline?
In the documentation it uses @yield('content') and @section('content') as an example, but the idea is the same https://laravel.com/docs/5.7/blade#template-inheritance. Just instead of doing this:
views/layouts/app.blade.php
<html>
<head>
<title>App Name - @yield('title')</title>
</head>
<body>
@section('sidebar')
This is the master sidebar.
@show
<div class="container">
@yield('content')
</div>
</body>
</html>
views/child.blade.php
@section('content')
<p>This is my body content.</p>
@endsection
You should add the scripts tag to render the javascript. Like this:
views/layouts/app.blade.php
<html>
<head>
<title>App Name - @yield('title')</title>
</head>
<body>
@section('sidebar')
This is the master sidebar.
@show
@yield('scripts')
</body>
</html>
views/child.blade.php
@section('scripts')
<script>
$( document ).ready(function() {
console.log( "document loaded" );
});
</script>
@endsection
@catalin560 If you’re looking to conditionally include components then have a look into dynamic imports: https://webpack.js.org/guides/code-splitting/#dynamic-imports
It basically splits your assets into chunks that can be loaded on demand when and only when your application needs them.
@martinbean @globals well I guess that explains how to load assets but still you guys haven't answered how do you organize your files?
You have two questions, one in the title of the thread, and one in your message.
Most of us read the message and forget the title :)
I put all files in a js folder in asset, and use viewComposer to load only what I need in the layout.blade.php This way I load only the plugin I need, for the ones I don't often use.
@catalin560 As @Vilfago says, you’re asking two questions: how to organise assets, and then conditionally loading assets.
In terms of organisation assets, just how Laravel starts me off: Vue components in the resources/js/components directory, and then pull them into my resources/js/app.js file, but “chunking” my components and conditionally loading them as per the Webpack docs page I linked above.
For organizing, I generally leave standalone scripts in assets/js. If it is a library that I download and upgrade, I put those in subfolders with a symbolic link to the library I am using.
For conditionally including code, I use @stack("scripts"). Stack allows you to include code from all the templates you are using.
