[FIXED] Laravel Blade: @stop VS @show VS @endsection VS @append

Issue

In Laravel, there are different ways of using sections:

@yield('section1') // Filled in by child view

@section('section2')
    // Default content, can be overwritten by child
    // Different ways of closing the section
@endsection|stop|show|append

Who can tell me what the exact difference is between all of these?

Accoding to this, @stop and @endsection might be the same. (with one having been deprecated, but not anymore)

Solution

@endsection and @stop are the same and indicate the end of a section.

The section is not actually rendered on the page until you do @yield('sectionname')

In contrast, @show is equivalent to

@stop
@yield('sectionname')

i.e. it stops and immediately renders the section at that part of the page.

@append is basically equivalent to:

//FileA.blade.php
@section('sectionname')
 ... content
@stop

//FileB.blade.php
@extends('fileA')

@section('sectionname')
    @parent
    ... more content after content
@stop

Here's some relevant source code:

protected function compileStop() {
    return '<?php $__env->stopSection(); ?>';
}
protected function compileEndsection() {
    return '<?php $__env->stopSection(); ?>'; //Same code
}

protected function compileShow() {
    return '<?php echo $__env->yieldSection(); ?>';
}

Yield section just stops the current section and yields its contents.
