You can extend blade like so:
Blade::directive('switch', function ($expression) {
return "<?php switch($expression): ?>";
});
Blade::directive('case', function ($expression) {
return "<?php case $expression: ?>";
});
Blade::directive('break', function () {
return "<?php break; ?>";
});
Blade::directive('default', function () {
return "<?php default: ?>";
});
Blade::directive('endswitch', function () {
return "<?php endswitch; ?>";
});
You can then use the following:
@switch($test)
@case(1)
Words
@break
@case(2)
Other Words
@break
@default
Default words
@endswitch
However do note the warnings in : http://php.net/manual/en/control-structures.alternative-syntax.php
If there is any whitespace between the switch(): and the first case then the whole code block will fail. That is a PHP limitation rather than a blade limitation. You may be able to bypass it by forcing the normal syntax e.g.:
Blade::directive('switch', function ($expression) {
return "<?php switch($expression) { ?>";
});
Blade::directive('endswitch', function ($) {
return "<?php } ?>";
});
But this feels a bit wrong.
