从控制器传递样式表到视图

Question

Is it possible to pass a Stylesheet to a view from a controller?

I have a master.layout file. This master layout is used for every page on the site. On the site the user can change colors and properties of their user profile, so on the profile pages I need to pass in either a custom user stylesheet, or custom style rules.

The only solution I have found is to include an if statement in the view and if the page is a profile page then check if $style is defined, if so include it. But this approach seems clunky.

Is it possible to define the layout and pass in scripts or style rules from within the controller itself?

Edit:

The style rules are stored in a database in columns such as profile.background_color and profile.heading_color . The controller then constructs them into either a stylesheet, and caches it, or includes the styles directly within a <style> tag on the profile view. I havn't decided which way to do it yet, but both are possible.

The advice about Facade was weird. That doens't really help you here.

You'll want to do a few things.

In your pages controller you can add:

$layout->with('extra_stylesheets', ['pages/someslug.css']);

Then that .css file should be processed as PHP using a little mod_rewrite and htaccess fun so it can be cached heavily (use more .htaccess for this, Google will help).

The layout then is the only location that needs to check for extra stylesheets and your pages view has a little less logic in it and your output HTML doesn't have a bunch of nasty <style> tags.

In master.layout , ensure you have a @section('userStyle')...@stop or similar.

In your controller, set the property protected $layout = 'master.layout'; .

Build out the css as you are currently doing and store it in a php variable $css .

Then you can load up the css into your layout with $this->layout->userStyle = $css .
