exclude certain part using layout of laravel

Question

I have a layout blade file it has @include('footer')

but in one page I came across this issue : I want to extend that layout but did not want to include the footer.

So what should I do? Is there any way I can check what page is using the layout file in my layout.blade.php?

Answer 1

You can define a section in your layout:

@section('footer')
    @include('footer')
@show

And then override it in one view:

@section('footer')
{{-- this section will be empty --}}
@stop

Answer 2

Posting this in case anyone still has this problem. One idea is to create a separate master layout that does not include a footer, and extend from there.
