How can I make sure a blade @include is only included once?

posted 9 years ago

Hey, I've an idea that I want to add modal structures through includes in my app. My problem now is that a modal can be added from several pages in the app, and there is a chance of "overlapping" modals. I mean that the modal can be added more than once because of the page structure.

I want to avoid the duplicate includes in the HTML structure some how, but allow for multiple @include for a certain modal, to make sure it's added. Is there any way of achieving this?

So far I have been without luck.

Here is how @include works (compileInclude method):

Extend blade creating your @includeonce tag:

I had same issue. What slillo recommended is over-complicated in my opinion. Just declare a variable in an Util class.

Add this to your Util.php

public static $isReportModalIncluded = false;

then in your blade do this

@php

	//include this only once
	if (\App\Classes\Utils::$isReportModalIncluded === true) {
		return;
	}
	
	if (\App\Classes\Utils::$isReportModalIncluded === false) {
		\App\Classes\Utils::$isReportModalIncluded = true;
	}

	
@endphp

Hopefully Laravel will introduce an @includeonce in the future
