What Are Anonymous Components in Blade?
We’ve been leading up to it for the last few articles and we’re finally here, components.

Anonymous Components
There are two different types components: anonymous and class-based components. We’re going to focus on anonymous components in this article and will leave Class Based components for the more advanced sections. We haven’t even gotten through some of the more basic features of Laravel, like Controllers yet.
To create a component, you’ll simply need to create a Blade file in the components directory. It doesn’t exist, but it’s just a folder, so let’s create it. The components directory lives in resources/views.
Next, let’s create a component. It’s just a Blade file. I’m going to call it header.blade.php. What are we going to place there? You guessed it, the header.

Now that we have our component, we can use it in other Blade files. Let’s create a new file named resources/views/component-test/header-test.blade.php.
The header-test view will contain just the basic HTML markup.

</html>
To add our header, we use the <x-component_name /> notation. For example, since our nav components is located in components/nav, we will simply use <x-nav/>.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
...
</head>
<body>
<x-nav />
</body>
</html>
We just need to create a route to reach our view and we’re ready to test.
<?php
Route::get('/components/header-test', function() {
return view('component-test/header-test', [
'title' => "Header Test",
]);
});
When we refresh the page, we get what we were searching for.
Pretty simple so far.
Passing Attributes to Components
As you might have guessed by looking at our route, we need to be able to pass arguments to our components. The title is one argument that we’re going to want to inject into our nav component.
First, lets see how we can pass an argument to our component. The argument is actually called a prop in this instance. If you worked with React or Vue you’ll know all about props.
We currently have <x-nav /> as our component in the header-test view. To pass props into our nav.blade.php component, we simply define an attribute name and pass the value. For example, in the img tag, the attribute is the src and the value is the image location: <img src="http://example.com/dino.jpg">.
It looks similar to what we’re going to do except we get to define what our attribute name is going to be called. Since we’re going to be passing the title, I’m going to name it title and pass the $title that was sent from our route: <x-nav title=”{{ $title }}” />.
If we refresh our page, we get no difference. That’s because we haven’t:
- accepted our
propand - we haven’t specified where that
propwill go.
To accept our prop we need to use the @props bag. It’s just something that’s available to us in our Blade components. That’s where all of your props will be passed through.
At the beginning of our Page, we need to add the following code:
@props(['title'])
That just tells the page that there will be a prop named title. We can now use that variable wherever we want. I want that to be displayed as our Page Title in our navigation bar, so I’m going to modify where it currently says Components and change it to {{ $title }}.
Our header-test.blade.php code now looks like this.

Who Cares About Components?
Everyone should. They’re easy to reuse. For example, let’s modify our header-test.blade.php to include three <x-nav /> components, each with different title attributes.

It worked. We have three nav-bars, each with a different title. This means that we can inject components wherever we’d like. We could, theoretically, break apart our entire navigation into smaller components, a button for example and a dropdown components, and then pass some props to those in order to generate our full nav components. We may just do that in the next article.

Creating Blade Layouts using Template Inheritance was widely used before components were brought in. They’re still used in conjunction with components.

Laravel – P16: Blade Anonymous Components
Anonymous components are Blade components that don’t have an associated class. Unlike regular Anonymous components are purely defined by their Blade views.
