Check to see if a page is called via Ajax in Laravel

This is an extension from a post I made a few days ago: Change a page without refreshing - Laravel / Ajax

Basically, I'm trying to replicate the URL Structure of Soundcloud where you can click on a link, it'll load the content without refreshing the page however if you land directly on that page, it won't replicate design and effecitvely break.

I've been thinking of ways on how I can check in Laravel if the page is requested via Ajax or has been landed on without an Ajax call.

What's happening at the moment is that when I call the page, the view has a master template that's extended thus creating duplicate master templates on the one view.

I was thinking if I done something like

@if(!Request::ajax())
@extends('masterlayout')
@endif

It would work but tried and no luck.

Any help as always is greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Thanks for all the answers, I eventually got this fixed by using @if(!Request::ajax()) on section that didn't need to be shown when the page was loaded via ajax.

Thank you again! :D

Looks like @extends directive is always executed even in falsy if

You can add an empty layout and perform check like this:

@extends(Request::ajax()? 'layouts.empty' : 'layouts.master')

and you need add only this in layout empty.blade.php:

@yield('content')

or you can add ajax check in the master layout

@if(!Request::ajax())
 // all layout code
@else
   @yield('content')
@endif

You can check that in your controller action.

public function index(Request $request)
{
    if($request->ajax()){
        return "This is an AJAX call!";
    }
    return "Not an AJAX call...";
}
