why laravel blade @yield adds a new line (line break)

Question

I'm using blade templating with laravel 4.2

I have a little issue with the @yield function which works with the @section function.

Let's say in my layout template layout.blade.php I have the following statement:

<meta name="description" content="@yield('description')">

and in contact.blade.php which extends layout.blade.php I have this:

@section('description')
    this is the contact page
@stop

The output is this:

<meta name="description" content="this is the contact page
">

The problem is the line break added automatically at the end the section rendering.

Do you have an idea how to avoid this unwanted behaviour?

Answer 1

You can use {{trim(View::yieldContent('description'))}}

The explanation.

I had the same problem. I had a few modal windows on the page, that had a common layout but different bodies, titles and "id" attributes. So, "id" attribute should be yielded without any spaces around.

The @yield statement compiles to echo $__env->yieldContent call (BladeCompiler.php, compileYield method). $_env here is an instance of \Illuminate\View\Factory. So you can use {{trim(View::yieldContent('description'))}} where View is a facade.
