How can I toggle comments on blade.php extension files.

Blade is a Laravel specific file which uses {{-- --}} to comment out.

I installed Nerdcommenter but, don't know how to modify it to work with blade files due to the lack of Vim knowledge

Now, when I comment out the plugin uses 

<!-- -->

Does anyone know how to set the thing up or recommend me other plugins?

nerdcommenter already have the comment style you mention, but you need to be using the filetype laravel for it to work properly.

Try issuing :set ft=laravel before using nerdcommenter again.

To make this work everytime you edit a blade file, you can include the following line in your vimrc:

autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.blade.php set filetype=laravel

You probably also need to ensure that you have filetype indent plugin on in your vimrc.

  • Thanks for the comment sir.I added it to my vimrc file.But, it won't work – shigg Aug 26 '16 at 04:51
  • You have to use the command after you open the file. Vim will try to guess the filetype as you open a file, and since the extension is `php`, it'll default to the `php` filetype. – rgoliveira Aug 26 '16 at 04:54
  • After I open the blade file and type the command in vim.It worked thx.But,after I close Vim it no longer works.How can I make it permanent?Thank you for helping me really – shigg Aug 26 '16 at 06:30
  • What's the name of your files like? Do they end with `.blade.php`? – rgoliveira Aug 26 '16 at 06:48
  • Yes.it's like {filename}.blade.php – shigg Aug 26 '16 at 06:59
  • Try putting this in your `vimrc`: `autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.blade.php set filetype=laravel` – rgoliveira Aug 26 '16 at 07:02

  • Looks like filetype needs to be "blade", this way it works with both vim-blade and nerdcommenter – michaeltintiuc Nov 24 '17 at 22:18
