How to use Blade Template Engine

Blade is a Template Engine use natively in Laravel. To use this package in your Panada project you can install it via composer. To get it works follow this steps:

1. Go to your root project and run:

composer require philo/laravel-blade:2.*

We use package from Philo since it modified to works as a standalone component.

2. Create new folder within your app project and named it "cache". Your app folders will looks like:

config Controllers Libraries Models Modules views

3. Create a blade template file within views folder, for example:

// views/hello.blade.php
Hello, {{{ $name }}}.

The current UNIX timestamp is {{{ time() }}}

3. Create a method in a controller who called this blade package:

<?php
namespace Controllers;
use Resources;
use Philo\Blade\Blade;

class Home extends Resources\Controller
{    
    public function index()
    {
        Resources\Import::composer();
        
        $views = APP . 'views';
        $cache = APP . 'cache';
        
        $blade = new Blade($views, $cache);
        echo $blade->view()->make('hello', array('name'=>'Mandriva'));
    }
}

4. Call this method via browser to test your app.
