Laravel 5: Display HTML with Blade

Question

I have a string returned to one of my views, like this:

$text = \'
Lorem ipsum dolor

There is another way. If object purpose is to render html you can implement \Illuminate\Contracts\Support\Htmlable contract that has toHtml() method.

Then you can render that object from blade like this: {{ $someObject }} (note, no need for {!! !!} syntax).

Also if you want to return html property and you know it will be html, use \Illuminate\Support\HtmlString class like this:

public function getProductDescription()
{
    return new HtmlString($this->description);
}

and then use it like {{ $product->getProductDescription() }}.

Of course be responsible when directly rendering raw html on page.
