Laravel Toolkit

What is this?

It's a bunch of things that I end up repeating in each project I start, so I'm just abstracting it so I don't keep copying and pasting.

Installation

To register this provider, simply add the following to your composer.json file:

"repositories": [
   {
       "type": "vcs",
       "url": "https://github.com/manavo/laravel-toolkit"
   }
],
"require": {
   "manavo/laravel-toolkit": "~0.0",
}

Next add this line to the $providers array in your /app/config/app.php file:

'Manavo\LaravelToolkit\LaravelToolkitServiceProvider'

Then edit your BaseController.php file, and make it extend \Manavo\LaravelToolkit\Controllers\BaseController

class BaseController extends \Manavo\LaravelToolkit\Controllers\BaseController {

Finally, in your laravel project run:

 composer update
 php artisan config:publish manavo/laravel-toolkit
 php artisan asset:publish

and you're good to go!

Layout file

You'll need to create a layout file in views/layouts named default.blade.php. It has the following sections you can use:

• title
• head
• nav
• content
• footer

Example layout file

@extends('manavo/laravel-toolkit::layout')

@section('nav')
<nav class="navbar navbar-fixed-top" role="navigation">
    <div class="container">
        <!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
        <div class="navbar-header">
            <button id="menu-toggle" type="button" class="navbar-toggle">
                <span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
                <span class="icon-bar bar1"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar bar2"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar bar3"></span>
            </button>
            <a class="navbar-brand" href="/">App Name</a>
        </div>

        <!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right">
                @if(Auth::check())
                <li>
                    <a href="/dashboard">Dashboard</a>
                </li>
                <li>
                    <a href="#" class="dropdown-toggle" data-toggle="dropdown">Settings <b class="caret"></b></a>
                    <ul class="dropdown-menu dropdown-with-icons">
                        <li>
                            <a href="/settings">Settings</a>
                        </li>
                        <li>
                            <a href="/logout" class="text-danger">Log out</a>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </li>
                @else
                <li><a href="/register" class="btn btn-round btn-default">Register</a></li>
                <li><a href="/login" class="btn btn-round btn-default">Sign in</a></li>
                @endif
            </ul>
        </div><!-- /.navbar-collapse -->
    </div><!-- /.container-fluid -->
</nav>
@stop
