Laravel — P17: Components Within Components

Laravel — P17: Components Within Components

Component Inception

We’re going to see what the true power of components looks like; I should have called this article Component Inception since we’ll be going deep inside our components. In the previous article, we just touched on the topic, but we’re going to expand it fully this time.

Laravel — P16: Blade Anonymous Components Introduction

Our header component will be composed of smaller components. We can choose how small we want to go.

What it looks like right now

Our header contains all of the code that composes our top menu navigation.

</html>

Just by looking at it, we can see that we have multiple components. The first one is the entire header. Within it we have the Logo and the nav. Within nav we have:

  • Blog Component
  • Portfolio Component
  • Contact Component
  • Dropdown Menu Component

And even in our dropdown menu we have three dropdown options. We want to create components for all of that and the reassemble them inside our main header.

Main Header Component

Let’s start by creation our test file and a route to get to it as is.

<?php
Route::get('/components-breakdown', function() {
    return view('component-breakdown/app', [
        'title' => 'Component Breakdown',
    ]);
});

The app.blade.php file contains the entire HTML document that we showed earlier with the header and navigation all included.

Let’s create a new directory inside of our components directory titled breakdown. You wouldn’t normally name it like this. You would probably name it header if you’re adding all your header components there, but I’m going to name it breakdown first and then I’ll add my header directory inside there. This is just for my sanity since I’m doing quite a few of these articles and don’t want to create a new project each time.

Inside of our breakdown directory, we’ll create the header directory. And finally, inside of our header directory we’ll create a new file called main.blade.php. This file will contain our header code.

Lets start by moving our header to our components/breakdown/header/main file.

<header class="w-full text-gray-700 bg-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 dark-mode:bg-gray-800">

            </div>
        </nav>
    </div>
</header>

We also need to include that component inside of our component-breakdown/app.blade.php file.

We haven’t added components that live in a subdirectory of components. It’s really straightforward. You start the same way <x- to indicate that you’re going to get a component. You then start separating all of your subdirectories with a period.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="{{ str_replace('_', '-', app()->getLocale()) }}">
<head>
    ...
</head>
<body>
    <x-breakdown.header.main />
</body>
</html

If we refresh the page, we should notice no difference.

We’ll also need to pass the title to our header, so let’s do that now.

Since we haven’t done this before, let’s create our prop with a dash in the name.

<x-breakdown.header.main page-title="{{ $title }}" />

How do we retrieve that in our breakdown/header/main component? We can’t have dashes in our variable names (i.e. there can’t be $page-title). Laravel automatically converts it to camel-case (i.e. $pageTitle). So in our breakdown/header/main component, we simply use that.

@props(['pageTitle'])

<header class="...">
    ... {{ $pageTitle }}
</header>

If you don’t like that, you can use the $attributes bag. It’ll pass our prop as a key/value pair. In that case, we don’t have to use the @props bag.

<header class="w-full text-gray-700 bg-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 dark-mode:bg-gray-800">
    <div x-data="{ open: false }" class="flex flex-col max-w-screen-xl px-4 mx-auto md:items-center md:justify-between md:flex-row md:px-6 lg:px-8">
        <div class="p-4 flex flex-row items-center justify-between">
            <a href="#" class="text-lg font-semibold tracking-widest text-gray-900 uppercase rounded-lg dark-mode:text-white focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline">
                 {{ $attributes['page-title'] }}
            </a>
            ...
        </div>
        ...
    </div>
</header>

I kind of like that convention so I’ll stick to it for now. If we refresh our page, we can see that the title was passed from our routes/web.php file to our component-breakdown/app file and then passed as page-title to our breakdown/header/main component.

Breaking Apart Our Header

The top portion was all prep-work. We can now start breaking our breakdown/header/main component further down. The first thing that I notice is that it has a logo and a navigation. We’ll need two new files in our components/breakdown/header directory: logo and nav.

 

The logo will contain the code for our logo.

<div class="p-4 flex flex-row items-center justify-between">
    <a href="#" class="text-lg font-semibold tracking-widest text-gray-900 uppercase rounded-lg dark-mode:text-white focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline">
        {{ $attributes['page-title'] }}
    </a>
    <button class="md:hidden rounded-lg focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline" @click="open = !open">
        <svg fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 20 20" class="w-6 h-6">

        </svg>
    </button>
</div>

The nav component will contain our navigation.

<nav :class="{'flex': open, 'hidden': !open}" class="flex-col flex-grow pb-4 md:pb-0 hidden md:flex md:justify-end md:flex-row">

            </div>
        </div>
    </div>
</nav>

Now that those are created, we just need to include them in our components/breakdown/header/main component.

<header class="w-full text-gray-700 bg-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 dark-mode:bg-gray-800">
    <div x-data="{ open: false }" class="flex flex-col max-w-screen-xl px-4 mx-auto md:items-center md:justify-between md:flex-row md:px-6 lg:px-8">
        <x-breakdown.header.logo />
        <x-breakdown.header.nav />
    </div>
</header>

If we refresh the page as is, our logo will disappear. We need to set the page-title attribute and pass our page-title to it.

<header class="w-full text-gray-700 bg-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 dark-mode:bg-gray-800">
    <div x-data="{ open: false }" class="flex flex-col max-w-screen-xl px-4 mx-auto md:items-center md:justify-between md:flex-row md:px-6 lg:px-8">
        <x-breakdown.header.logo page-title="{{ $attributes['page-title'] }}" />
        <x-breakdown.header.nav />
    </div>
</header>

Remember that our components/breakdown/header/main file is also a component, so we don’t have access to $title like we do in views/component-breakdown/app. We only have access to our $attributes bucket, which is why we have to use it to pass our title one more component deep.

Refresh the page and you should get exactly what you were expecting to get.

Our logo is pretty much done. We’re not going to break it down any further than that. The nav is another story. Let’s create a components/breakdown/header/nav-button component. If we look at our buttons, they’re either highlighted or not. Since there are more non-highlighted buttons, we’ll start with that one. Copy the code for Portfolio into your nav-button component.

<a class="px-4 py-2 mt-2 text-sm font-semibold bg-transparent rounded-lg dark-mode:bg-transparent dark-mode:hover:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:text-white dark-mode:hover:text-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 md:mt-0 md:ml-4 hover:text-gray-900 focus:text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-200 focus:bg-gray-200 focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline" href="#">
    Portfolio
</a>

We don’t want Portfolio hardcoded in there. We can use $attributes again. We also need to send a unique link to it.

<a class="px-4 py-2 mt-2 text-sm font-semibold bg-transparent rounded-lg dark-mode:bg-transparent dark-mode:hover:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:text-white dark-mode:hover:text-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 md:mt-0 md:ml-4 hover:text-gray-900 focus:text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-200 focus:bg-gray-200 focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline"
   href="{{ $attributes['nav-link'] }}"
>
    {{ $attributes['nav-title'] }}
</a>

We can now change all of our buttons in the components/breakdown/header/nav file.

<nav :class="{'flex': open, 'hidden': !open}" class="flex-col flex-grow pb-4 md:pb-0 hidden md:flex md:justify-end md:flex-row">

    <x-breakdown.header.nav-button nav-title="About" nav-link="/about" />
    <x-breakdown.header.nav-button nav-title="Contact" nav-link="/contact" />

    </div>
</nav>

How do we modify the highlighted one? Easy, we’ll just pass a new attribute to our nav-button called selected. The selected attribute is something that we’ll create. We’ll check to see if the value is set to selected and if it is, we’ll display the classes required to make the background gray, and transparent otherwise.

Instead of using an @if directive, we’ll simply use the ternary operator inside of our {{ }} tags.

<a class="{{ $attributes['selected'] == 'yes' ? 'selected' : 'not-selected'}}">
   Name
</a>

Let’s see what that looks like inside of our nav-button component.

<a class="{{ $attributes['selected'] == "yes"
        ? 'px-6 py-2 mt-2 text-sm font-semibold text-gray-900 bg-gray-200 rounded-lg dark-mode:bg-gray-700 dark-mode:hover:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:text-white dark-mode:hover:text-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 md:mt-0 hover:text-gray-900 focus:text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-200 focus:bg-gray-200 focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline'
        : 'px-4 py-2 mt-2 text-sm font-semibold bg-transparent rounded-lg dark-mode:bg-transparent dark-mode:hover:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:text-white dark-mode:hover:text-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 md:mt-0 md:ml-4 hover:text-gray-900 focus:text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-200 focus:bg-gray-200 focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline'
   }}"
   href="{{ $attributes['nav-link'] }}"
>
    {{ $attributes['nav-title'] }}
</a>

We simply have to pass the selected attribute to it now for our Blog to show up with the gray background.

Include it back in our nav component.

<nav :class="{'flex': open, 'hidden': !open}" class="flex-col flex-grow pb-4 md:pb-0 hidden md:flex md:justify-end md:flex-row">
    <x-breakdown.header.nav-button
        nav-title="Blog"
        nav-link="/blog"
        selected="yes"
    />

    <x-breakdown.header.nav-button nav-title="Portfolio" nav-link="/portfolio" />
    <x-breakdown.header.nav-button nav-title="About" nav-link="/about" />
    <x-breakdown.header.nav-button nav-title="Contact" nav-link="/contact" />

    <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown />
</nav>

Look at how much cleaner that looks. Everything should still work as is. But let’s take our dropdown options and create components for them as well. Create a components/breakdown/header/nav-dropdown-option component. The code that we’re going to move there is our Link #1.

<a class="block px-4 py-2 mt-2 text-sm font-semibold bg-transparent rounded-lg dark-mode:bg-transparent dark-mode:hover:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:text-white dark-mode:hover:text-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 md:mt-0 hover:text-gray-900 focus:text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-200 focus:bg-gray-200 focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline" 
   href="#"
>
    Link #1
</a>

We can see that we need to be able to modify the title and the href of that link. Our final code should look like this.

<a
    class="block px-4 py-2 mt-2 text-sm font-semibold bg-transparent rounded-lg dark-mode:bg-transparent dark-mode:hover:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:focus:text-white dark-mode:hover:text-white dark-mode:text-gray-200 md:mt-0 hover:text-gray-900 focus:text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-200 focus:bg-gray-200 focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline"
    href="{{ $attributes['link'] }}"
>
    {{ $attributes['title'] }}
</a>

We just have to include it back in our components/breakdown/header/nav-dropdown component.

<div @click.away="open = false" class="relative" x-data="{ open: false }">
    <button @click="open = !open" class="flex flex-row items-center w-full px-4 py-2 mt-2 text-sm font-semibold text-left bg-transparent rounded-lg dark-mode:bg-transparent dark-mode:focus:text-white dark-mode:hover:text-white dark-mode:focus:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:hover:bg-gray-600 md:w-auto md:inline md:mt-0 md:ml-4 hover:text-gray-900 focus:text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-200 focus:bg-gray-200 focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline">
        <span>Dropdown</span>
        <svg fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 20 20" :class="{'rotate-180': open, 'rotate-0': !open}" class="inline w-4 h-4 mt-1 ml-1 transition-transform duration-200 transform md:-mt-1"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M5.293 7.293a1 1 0 011.414 0L10 10.586l3.293-3.293a1 1 0 111.414 1.414l-4 4a1 1 0 01-1.414 0l-4-4a1 1 0 010-1.414z" clip-rule="evenodd"></path></svg>
    </button>
    <div x-show="open" x-transition:enter="transition ease-out duration-100" x-transition:enter-start="transform opacity-0 scale-95" x-transition:enter-end="transform opacity-100 scale-100" x-transition:leave="transition ease-in duration-75" x-transition:leave-start="transform opacity-100 scale-100" x-transition:leave-end="transform opacity-0 scale-95" class="absolute right-0 w-full mt-2 origin-top-right rounded-md shadow-lg md:w-48">
        <div class="px-2 py-2 bg-white rounded-md shadow dark-mode:bg-gray-800">
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #1" link="/link-1" />
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #2" link="/link-2" />
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #3" link="/link-3" />
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

We can now add as many links to our dropdown as we’d like, all by using our nav-dropdown-option component.

<div @click.away="open = false" class="relative" x-data="{ open: false }">
    <button @click="open = !open" class="flex flex-row items-center w-full px-4 py-2 mt-2 text-sm font-semibold text-left bg-transparent rounded-lg dark-mode:bg-transparent dark-mode:focus:text-white dark-mode:hover:text-white dark-mode:focus:bg-gray-600 dark-mode:hover:bg-gray-600 md:w-auto md:inline md:mt-0 md:ml-4 hover:text-gray-900 focus:text-gray-900 hover:bg-gray-200 focus:bg-gray-200 focus:outline-none focus:shadow-outline">
        <span>Dropdown</span>
        <svg fill="currentColor" viewBox="0 0 20 20" :class="{'rotate-180': open, 'rotate-0': !open}" class="inline w-4 h-4 mt-1 ml-1 transition-transform duration-200 transform md:-mt-1"><path fill-rule="evenodd" d="M5.293 7.293a1 1 0 011.414 0L10 10.586l3.293-3.293a1 1 0 111.414 1.414l-4 4a1 1 0 01-1.414 0l-4-4a1 1 0 010-1.414z" clip-rule="evenodd"></path></svg>
    </button>
    <div x-show="open" x-transition:enter="transition ease-out duration-100" x-transition:enter-start="transform opacity-0 scale-95" x-transition:enter-end="transform opacity-100 scale-100" x-transition:leave="transition ease-in duration-75" x-transition:leave-start="transform opacity-100 scale-100" x-transition:leave-end="transform opacity-0 scale-95" class="absolute right-0 w-full mt-2 origin-top-right rounded-md shadow-lg md:w-48">
        <div class="px-2 py-2 bg-white rounded-md shadow dark-mode:bg-gray-800">
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #1" link="/link-1" />
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #2" link="/link-2" />
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #3" link="/link-3" />
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #4" link="/link-4" />
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #5" link="/link-5" />
            <x-breakdown.header.nav-dropdown-option title="Link #6" link="/link-6" />
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

The last thing that we need to look at is creating layouts with components. Let’s do that in the next article.
