Let’s quickly look at how we can Set Variables in Blade Templates.

Here we have some simple HTML where we output the name John Doe.

But we want to store this name inside a variable.

We have a couple of options.

We can declare the variable in line like this:

Or if we happen to set multiple variables in this file, it’s good to have them visible all in one place.

Usually at the top of the file.

Here we can use the @php Blade directive.

Just a quick mention, while we can use the vanilla PHP syntax instead of the Blade directive, it is not recommended.

Don’t use this syntax in modern Blade templates. It’s bad JuJu.

Happy coding
