In this video, I walk through how I refactored a Laravel Blade component to eliminate duplicate script and link tags using the powerful once and pushOnce directives. I start by showing the original code, where each usage of a Blade component like date-picker included the same scripts and styles multiple times in the rendered HTML — which is bad for performance and readability. Then, I show how to cleanly refactor it using pushOnce, making sure the styles and scripts are included only once, no matter how many times the component is used. You'll also see how I update the layout file to render these pushed assets using stack. Whether you're building reusable components or just want cleaner Blade templates, this is a must-know technique! === OFFER === GET 15% DISCOUNT ON ALL PLANS OF CLOUDWAYS HOSTING FOR 3 MONTHS https://bit.ly/3SovJvg === Important Links === Fonts, extensions I use, and Support Laratips links: https://bit.ly/m/laratips === Video Related Links === Documentation link: https://laravel.com/docs/12.x/blade#the-once-directive #laravel #php #laraveltip #laratips

About This Video

In this video, I refactor a Laravel Blade component to get rid of duplicate CSS and script tags—because if you drop a component like a date-picker multiple times, you really don’t want the same CDN assets injected again and again. I start with the “bad” version: the component includes the Flatpickr <link> and <script> directly inside the component, so every time I render two date pickers (join date and birth date), the HTML ends up with duplicate assets. That’s messy, harder to read, and it’s not great for performance. Then I clean it up properly using Blade stacks and the once/pushOnce directives. First, I update my layout to render assets in the right place: @stack('styles') in the head and @stack('scripts') at the bottom of the body. After that, inside the component, I push the Flatpickr CSS and JS into those stacks—so the layout controls where assets land. Finally, I eliminate duplicates by wrapping pushes in @once … @endonce, and then I show the cleaner approach: just use @pushOnce for both styles and scripts. The result is simple: no matter how many times I use the component, Flatpickr is included only once, while I can still customize initialization per input (class or ID) depending on what my app needs.
