[00:00] I recently changed my mind on something in Laravel Blade. So Blade is full of directives that should replace regular if-else statements. Like, for example, is set and empty instead of doing regular if-else.
[00:15] Also, there's auth and guest instead of if-auth check. For checking the environment, there's production or env. But the more times I've been reviewing the code of others in Blade, the more I realized that this is actually more readable.
[00:29] Imagine any other developer on the team comes here to fix some bug or change something, and they may not know what some blade directives are or how they work, but they will definitely understand if-else statements,
[00:43] no matter what programming language or framework they're coming from. So my point is, recently I rediscovered and became a big fan again of good old plain readable if statements. What do you think, guys? Are you on the same team? Let's discuss in the comments.
