About This Episode:
In this video, we upgrade our templating engine to support Blade-style syntax, bringing a more expressive and readable feel to our views. Here’s what we did:
Enhanced the View class to support:
- Escaped output: {{ $user->name }}
- Raw output: {!! $user->name !!}
Updated all relevant views to use the new shorthand syntax for cleaner templates.
- 🛠️ Fixed a display issue in photo.show where old_rating wasn’t mapping correctly (it was showing a 4 instead of the correct 1).
✨ With this little dose of syntax sugar, we land at v27-blade-envy — giving our views a modern touch without bringing in a full framework.
