Create Your Own Blade Directive in Laravel
It’s very easy - just add your own method in app/Providers/AppServiceProvider.php:
For example, if you want to have this for replace <br> tags with new lines:
<textarea>@br2nl($post->post_text)</textarea>
Add this directive to AppServiceProvider’s boot() method:
public function boot()
{
Blade::directive('br2nl', function ($string) {
return "<?php echo preg_replace('/\<br(\s*)?\/?\>/i', \"\n\", $string); ?>";
});
}
