Using a Blade directive in a Blade directive

Question

I'm using Laravel 5.1. I am trying to use a Blade directive (@extend) with my custom Blade directive.

Blade::directive('base', function() use ($theme) {
  return "@extends($theme)"
});

However, the above code only literally displays the contents (@extends($theme))

Answer 1

Contrary to a comment I made earlier, I think this is possible (but untested) using the blade compiler.

Blade::directive('base', function() use ($theme) {
    return Blade::compileString("@extends({$theme})");
});
