Blade Fragments enable partial page updates by returning specific template sections, ideal for use with htmx or Turbo frameworks.
Using Blade Fragments
Basic fragment definition and usage:
// In your blade template
@fragment('notification-list')

@foreach($notifications as $notification)

{{ $notification->message }}

@endforeach

@endfragment

// In your controller
return view('dashboard')
->fragment('notification-list');

Real-World Implementation
Example of a live notification system:
<?php

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use App\Models\Notification;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;

class NotificationController extends Controller
{
public function store(Request $request)
{
$notification = Notification::create([
'user_id' => auth()->id(),
'message' => $request->message,
'type' => $request->type
]);

if ($request->hasHeader('HX-Request')) {
return view('notifications.index', [
'notifications' => auth()->user()->notifications()->latest()->get()
])->fragmentIf(
$request->hasHeader('HX-Request'),
'notification-list'
);
}

return back();
}

public function clear(Request $request)
{
auth()->user()->notifications()->delete();

return view('notifications.index', [
'notifications' => collect()
])->fragment('notification-list');
}
}

Template structure:

@fragment('notification-list')

@forelse($notifications as $notification)
type }}">
{{ $notification->message }}

{{ $notification->created_at->diffForHumans() }}

@empty
No notifications
@endforelse

@endfragment
