Is there any way to compile a blade template from a string?

Question

How can I compile a blade template from a string rather than a view file, like the code below:

{{ $name }}\';
echo

I know its pretty old thread, but today also requirement is same.

Following is the way I solved this on my Laravel 5.7 (but this will work with any laravel version greater than version 5), I used the knowledge gained from this thread and few other threads to get this working (will leave links to all threads at the end, if this help up-vote those too)

I added this to my helper.php (I used this technique to add helper to my project, but you can use this function directly as well)

if (! function_exists('inline_view')) {
    /**
     * Get the evaluated view contents for the given blade string.
     *
     * @param  string  $view
     * @param  array   $data
     * @param  array   $mergeData
     * @return \Illuminate\View\View|\Illuminate\Contracts\View\Factory
     */
    function inline_view($view = null, $data = [], $mergeData = [])
    {
        /* Create a file with name as hash of the passed string */
        $filename = hash('sha1', $view);

        /* Putting it in storage/framework/views so that these files get cleared on `php artisan view:clear*/
        $file_location = storage_path('framework/views/');
        $filepath = storage_path('framework/views/'.$filename.'.blade.php');

        /* Create file only if it doesn't exist */
        if (!file_exists($filepath)) {
            file_put_contents($filepath, $view);
        }
        
        /* Add storage/framework/views as a location from where view files can be picked, used in make function below */
        view()->addLocation($file_location);

        /* call the usual view helper to render the blade file created above */
        return view($filename, $data, $mergeData);
    }
} 

Usage is exactly same as laravel's view() helper, only that now first parameter is the blade string

            $view_string = '@if(strlen($name_html)>6)
                                {{ $name_html }}
                            @else 
                                {{$name_html}} 
                            @endif';
            return inline_view($view_string)->with('name_html', $user->name);
            return inline_view($view_string, ['name_html' => $user->name]);
