#Introduction

Partials include reusable Blade markup blocks that can be used anywhere on the website. Partials are extremely useful for page sections that appear on multiple pages or layouts.

Partial files live in the /_partials subdirectory of a theme directory.

themes/
	your-theme/           <=== Theme directory
		_partials/         	  <=== Partials subdirectory
			sidebar.blade.php     <=== Partial template file

#Rendering partials

The Blade directive @partial('partial-name') renders a partial. The directive has a single parameter that is required - the name of the partial file without the .blade.php extension. You can specify the name of the subdirectory if you refer a partial from a subdirectory @partial('directory/partial-name'). You may use the @partial directive within a page, layout or other partials. An example of a page rendering a partial:

<div class="sidebar">
    @partial('sidebar')
</div>

#Passing parameters to partials

You may pass variables to partials by defining them in the @partial directive after the partial name:

<div class="sidebar">
    @partial('sidebar', ['pages' => $pages])
</div>

You can access variables within the partial like any other markup variable:

<ul>
	@foreach($pages as $page)
		<li>{{ $page->name }}</li>
	@endforeach
</ul>
