Single File Blade Components

Laravel Mix extension which lets you use blade components like Vue's single file components.

Usage

First, install the extension.

npm install single-file-blade-components --save-dev

Then, require it within your webpack.mix.js file:

let mix = require('laravel-mix');

require('single-file-blade-components');


mix.sfbc('resources/views/components/alert.blade.php', 'public/js/alert.js');

// or

mix.singleFileBladeComponent('resources/views/components/alert.blade.php', 'public/js/alert.js');

How it works

This extension extracts JS/CSS from blade file into separate JS/CSS file. During build process, it extracts style or x-style tag content into a separate css file and script or x-script tag content into a separate js file.

Video demo

Examples:

Minimal example

alert.blade.php

<x-template>
    <div class="title">
        Hello {{ $bladeVarialbe }},
        <button id="btn">Sign In</button>
    </div>
</x-template>

<style>
    .title {
        color: #333;
        font-size: 20px;
    }
</style>

<script>
    document.querySelector('click', function(){
        alert('hello');
    })
</script>

webpack.mix.js

mix.sfbc('resources/views/components/alert.blade.php', 'dist/js/alert.js');

Note: You will have to create x-template blade component.

CSS Pre-Processors

Use `lang' attribute to set css pre-processor

<x-template>
    <div>
        <h1>Hello</h1>
    </div>
</div>
</x-template>

<x-style lang="scss">
    div {
        h1 {
            color: #333;
        }
    }
</x-style>

CSS extraction

By default CSS declared in the blade file will be extracted into a separate file. You can disable this behavior by setting the extract attribute value as false.

For extract="false", it keeps CSS in the js file and gets injected into the dom via JS.

<x-template>
    <h1>Hello</h1>
</div>
</x-template>

<x-style extract="false">
    h1 {
        color: #333;
    }
</x-style>

Options

This plugin use mini-css-extract-plugin for css extraction. You can change mini-css-extract-plugin configuration via miniCssExtractPlugin option.

mix.options({
    miniCssExtractPlugin: {
        filename: '[name].css'
    }
})

Caveat

Code written in script or style tag should not be rendered directly on the frontend as it is a untranspiled code. To avoid this you can wrap script and style tag in falsy if statement or create x-style and x-script blade component.

@if(false)
    <style>
        h1 {
            color: red;
        }
    </style>
@endif

@if(false)
    <script>
        alert('test');
    </script>
@endif
