Blade

The standalone version of Laravel's Blade templating engine for use outside of Laravel.

Installation

Install using composer:

composer require beebmx/blade

Usage

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 Laravel Blade.

use Beebmx\Blade\Blade;

$blade = new Blade('views', 'cache');

echo $blade->make('homepage', ['name' => 'John Doe'])->render();

Alternatively you can use the shorthand method render:

echo $blade->render('homepage', ['name' => 'John Doe']);

You can also extend Blade using the directive() function:

$blade->directive('datetime', function ($expression) {
    return "<?php echo with({$expression})->format('F d, Y g:i a'); ?>";
});

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 and creator are available as well. Check out the original documentation for more information.

Testing

composer test
