The standalone version of Laravel's Blade templating engine for use outside of Laravel.
Install using composer:
composer require penobit/blade
Create a Blade instance by passing it the folder(s) where your view files are located, and a cache folder. Render a template by calling the make
method. More information about the Blade templating engine can be found on original laravel's blade documentation
use Penobit\Blade\Blade;
$blade = new Blade('viewsDirectory', 'cacheDirectory');
echo $blade->make('homepage', ['author' => 'Penobit', 'variable2' => 'variable value'])->render();
Alternatively you can use the shorthand method render
:
echo $blade->render('homepage', ['author' => 'Penobit', 'variable2' => 'variable value']);
You can also extend Blade using the directive()
function:
$blade->directive('datetime', function ($expression) {
return "<?php echo date('Y-m-d H:i', {$expression}); ?>";
});
Which allows you to use the following in your blade template:
Current date: @datetime($date)
The Blade instances passes all methods to the internal view factory. So methods such as exists
, file
, share
, composer
, auth
, creator
, etc are available as well. Check out the original documentation for more information.
