Laravel 5 - Add a stylesheet only if on a certain page/controller (page specific asset)

20.7k views Asked by AudioBubble At 08 June 2015 at 18:36

My Laravel layout is currently as follows (removed navbar etc..):

<link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootswatch/3.3.4/flatly/bootstrap.min.css" 
     rel="stylesheet">
<link href="{{ asset('/css/app.css') }}" rel="stylesheet">

<!-- Fonts -->
<link href='//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Roboto:400,300' rel='stylesheet' 
    type='text/css'>

<!-- Scripts -->
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>

<!-- HTML5 shim and Respond.js for IE8 support of HTML5 elements and media queries -->
<!-- WARNING: Respond.js doesn't work if you view the page via file:// -->
<!--[if lt IE 9]>
    <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/html5shiv/3.7.2/html5shiv.min.js"></script>
    <script src="https://oss.maxcdn.com/respond/1.4.2/respond.min.js"></script>
    <![endif]-->
</head>
<body>

    <div class="container">

        @yield('content')

    </div>

    <!-- Scripts -->
    <script src="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.4/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
    <script src="{{ asset('assets/vendor/toastr/toastr.min.js') }}"></script>
</body>
</html>

Then I attach a view to the layout:

@extends('app')

@section('content')

Content here.

@endsection

I'm confused as to, say for example, if I'm in the clinicController.php or within a clinic route (it's a resource), then to "inject" a stylesheet and a Javascript file into the appropriate places.

Is there a way to do this? I'd imagine that @if on a certain page, display this would work, but I'm sure there must be a more "Laravel" way to do it?

Any help would be hugely appreciated.

If you are like me and do not like the idea of littering the scripts in multiple view files, you can do it in a maintainable fashion in your template using any one of the following:

If Using Named Routes

@if (in_array(Route::currentRouteName(), ['profile', 'register']))
    <script src="example.js"></script>
@endif

OR (Same as above)

@if (in_array(\Request::route()->getName(), ['profile', 'register']))
    <script src="example.js"></script>
    <script src="another.js"></script>
@endif

To Check For Controller Actions Instead

  @if (in_array(substr(Route::currentRouteAction(), strpos(Route::currentRouteAction(), '@')+1), ['create', 'edit']))
    <script src="example.js"></script>
  @endif

To Specify a Controller And an Action

  @if (in_array(substr(Route::currentRouteAction(), strpos(Route::currentRouteAction(), 'Controllers')+12), ['UserController@create', 'AlbumController@edit']))
    <script src="example.js"></script>
  @endif

You may create a section like the following in your view, for example:

@extends('layouts.master')

@section('styles')
    <link href="{{asset('assets/css/custom-style.css')}}" />
@stop

Then also in your layout, @yield that, for example:

<!--Static StyleSheets-->
<link href="{{asset('assets/css/common-style.css')}}" rel="stylesheet" />

<!--Dynamic StyleSheets added from a view would be pasted here-->
@yield('styles')

Same goes for script tags, for example (A layout may look like this with styles / scripts):

<html>
    <head>
        <!--Static StyleSheets-->
        <link href="{{asset('assets/css/common-style.css')}}" />

        <!--Dynamic StyleSheets added from a view would be pasted here-->
        @yield('styles')
    </head/>

    <!-- Template Body -->
    <body>
        <!-- Other HTML Elements -->
        <div class="container">
            @yield('content')
        </div>

        <!-- Dump all dynamic scripts into template -->
        @yield('scripts')
    </body>
</html>

Update: Since Laravel 5.2, it's possible to use Stacks for styles/scripts, for example:

In A View:

@extends('layouts.master')

@section('content')
    <!-- Content -->
@endsection

<!-- Push a style dynamically from a view -->
@push('styles')
    <link href="{{asset('assets/css/common-style.css')}}" />
@endpush

<!-- Push a script dynamically from a view -->
@push('scripts')
    <script src="/example.js"></script>
@endpush

The Template:

<html>
    <head>
        <!--Static StyleSheets-->
        <link href="{{asset('assets/css/common-style.css')}}" />

        <!--Dynamic StyleSheets added from a view would be pasted here-->
        @stack('styles')
    </head/>
    <!-- Template Body -->
    <body>

        <!-- Other HTML Elements -->
        <div class="container">
            @yield('content')
        </div>

        <!-- Dump all dynamic scripts into template -->
        @stack('scripts')

    </body>
</html>
