how to define a variable in laravel blade

Question

How can define a variable in view side(blade) in laravel? I found that I can do it in this way:

 <?php $var = 'something' ?>

but is there any way to do this like {{ $var = 'something' }} or @var1 = 'something' ?(ofcourse without print it)

Solution 1

I agree with @Kiril Ivanov answer, but if you still want to do that you can use

@php ($variable = 'test')

Thanks

Solution 2

no, there is no way to define a variable with blade syntax except using the php syntax you have pointed. actually it is not a good practice to define variables in your views and do complex stuff except loops and conditional statements

In this case you're just using Blade in a different way than it was designed for... You shouldn't put your data logic here... Just representation logic of already processed data...
