Using the Blade Directive in the Blade Directive

Question

I am using Laravel 5.1. I am trying to use the Blade directive ( @extend ) with my custom Blade directive.

 Blade::directive('base', function() use ($theme) { return "@extends($theme)" }); 

However, the above code only literally displays the content ( @extends($theme) )

Answer 1

Unlike the comment I made earlier, I think this is possible (but not verified) using the blade compiler.

 Blade::directive('base', function() use ($theme) { return Blade::compileString("@extends({$theme})"); });
