. See Auto-fix.

Part of the migration preset.

#Why

@stop and @endsection compile to the same call. Standardizing on @endsection avoids mixing two names for the same behavior.

The other section terminators are not aliases and are not replaced:

Terminator What it does
@endsection Ends the section
@stop Ends the section (alias)
@show Ends the section and renders it immediately
@append Ends the section, appending to a parent definition
@overwrite Ends the section, replacing any parent definition

#Examples

#Bad

@section('content')

    <p>Hello.</p>

@stop

#Good

@section('content')

    <p>Hello.</p>

@endsection



@section('sidebar')

    <p>Rendered here.</p>

@show



@section('scripts')

    <script src="/a.js"></script>

@append

#Auto-fix

--fix replaces the terminator and nothing else.

{{-- before --}}

@section('content')

    <p>Hello.</p>

@stop



{{-- after --}}

@section('content')

    <p>Hello.</p>

@endsection

#Notes

  • The inline @section('title', 'Home') form has no terminator and is never reported.
  • Both spellings work. This consistency check belongs to the migration preset rather than recommended.
