I am using a blade echo inside of a stylesheet reference in my header section. This is for specifying a CSS for a skin to the site.
The original line is:
<link href="{{ asset("/dist/css/skins/skin-default.min.css"}}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css\" />
I am grabbing a skin setting per user and want to insert it into that line to change what the user wants as their skin. I have the setting pulled out into a variable from within a view service provider.
$view->with('visualSkin', Auth::user()->visualSkin);
This way I have $visualSkin set when all views are rendered.
How can I insert that into the asset href above and default it to a setting if the user has none set?
I can call the variable or set a default by doing:
{{ $visualSkin or "skin-default" }}
However, how can I inline that section with my asset href? Something like this does not work:
<link href="{{ asset("/dist/css/skins/{{ $visualSkin or "skin-red-trim" }}.min.css"}}" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css\" />
I've also tried some php trickery, but since it's blade formatting when inserting it into php echo, it doesn't get rendered by the blade process.
Can you nest blade echos?
Am I missing some character escaping?
