Including, extending and yielding inside a loop

On my home I’m getting the recent posts, including the components.project-card which extends components.grid-item and yields the @section('grid-item__content'), printing the item $type.

template-home.blade.php:

A loop iterates through my recent posts and for each entry it does a

@include('components.project-card', ['item' => $item, ...somethingies])
components/project-card.blade.php:
@extends('components.grid-item', ['type' => $item['type'], ...morethingies])

@section('grid-item__content')
    {{ $item['type'] }}
@endsection
components/grid-item.blade.php:
<div class="grid__item" data-type="{{ $type }}">
	@yield('grid-item__content')
</div>

However, the {{ $item['type'] }} is printing the value of the first entry for all others.

Let’s suppose I have 4 posts with the type as: [‘text’,‘news’,‘project’,‘project’]. The output would be:

<div class="grid__item" data-type="text">
	text
</div>
<div class="grid__item" data-type="news">
	text
</div>
<div class="grid__item" data-type="project">
	text
</div>
<div class="grid__item" data-type="project">
	text
</div>

Obs: Note that the data-type is correct.

Am I doing something wrong? I’m still learning blade :wink:

You should probably take a look at the Blade docs, specifically what a layout is and what @extends does. What really sticks out to me is you’re trying to pass data with @extends, which really only tells Blade which layout to use (like the theme wrapper). There is no passing data back to the layout.

That should help you get going correctly.

First of all, thanks for your reply!

Ok, I removed the data from the @extendand left it to the @include. So now I have:

template-home.blade.php:

A loop iterates through my recent posts and for each entry it does a

@foreach($items as $item)
    @include('components.project-card', ['item' => $item])
@endforeach
components/project-card.blade.php:
@extends('components.grid-item')

@section('grid-item__content')
    {{ $item['type'] }}
@endsection
components/grid-item.blade.php:
<div class="grid__item" data-type="{{ $item['type'] }}">
	@yield('grid-item__content')
</div>

This still outputs the same as before. With 4 items (text, news, project, project), it always prints “text”, “text”, “text”, “text”.

A more testable example:

page.blade.php:
@extends('layouts.base')

@section('content')
  @php
    $testValues = ['1', '2', '3']
  @endphp
  @foreach ($testValues as $testValue)
    Current number: {{ $testValue }}  
    @include('partials.c2', ['test' => $testValue])
  @endforeach
@endsection
partials/c2.blade.php:
@extends('partials.c1')

@section('c-content')
  {{ $test }}
@endsection
partials/c1.blade.php:
<div class="custom-class">
  Inside the extend: {{ $test }}
  <br>
  Inside the section: @yield('c-content')
</div>

Prints:

Current number: 1
Inside the extend: 1
Inside the section: 1

Current number: 2
Inside the extend: 2
Inside the section: 1

Current number: 3
Inside the extend: 3
Inside the section: 1

Ps: I’m probably doing something pretty much idiotic, sorry :frowning:

Ps²: I’ve just tested it on a bare laravel project and the same thing happened. Yeah, I’m definitely trying to do something wrong :laughing:

Ps³: I’ve just found this

You absolute legend, thanks for this - was hit by exactly the same issue, the data not resetting when extending layouts within a loop.

So terminating the @section with @overwrite instead of @endsection is the key!
