Render Blade templates from Eloquent Model Fields

This package generates and returns a compiled view from a blade-syntax field in your Eloquent model.

Installation (Laravel v < 5)

Require this package in your composer.json and run composer update (or run composer require flynsarmy/db-blade-compiler:1.* directly):

"flynsarmy/db-blade-compiler": "1.*"

After updating composer, add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

'Flynsarmy\DbBladeCompiler\DbBladeCompilerServiceProvider',

and the Facade to the aliases array in the same file

'DbView'          => 'Flynsarmy\DbBladeCompiler\Facades\DbView',

You can also optionally publish the config-file

php artisan config:publish flynsarmy/db-blade-compiler

Installation (Laravel 5.x)

Require this package in your composer.json and run composer update (or run composer require flynsarmy/db-blade-compiler:2.* directly):

"flynsarmy/db-blade-compiler": "*"

The DbBladeCompilerServiceProvider is auto-discovered and registered by default, but if you want to register it yourself:
add the ServiceProvider to the providers array in app/config/app.php

'Flynsarmy\DbBladeCompiler\DbBladeCompilerServiceProvider',

and the DbView facade is also auto-discovered, but if you want to add it manually:
add the Facade to the aliases array in config/app.php

'DbView'          => 'Flynsarmy\DbBladeCompiler\Facades\DbView',

You have to also publish the config-file

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Flynsarmy\DbBladeCompiler\DbBladeCompilerServiceProvider"

Usage

This package offers a DbView facade with the same syntax as View but accepts a Model instance instead of path to view.

$template = Template::first();
return DbView::make($template)->with(['foo' => 'Bar'])->render();

Because you're passing a model to DbView::make(), db-blade-compiler needs to know which field to compile. By default this is content however you can set the field used with either of the following methods:

return DbView::make($template, ['foo' => 'Bar'], [], 'excerpt')->render();
return DbView::make($template)->field('excerpt')->with(['foo' => 'Bar'])->render();

You may set the default column used in the package config. You can enable using cache in compiling view from a blade-syntax field in your Eloquent model operation by enabling cache config in package config. By default this option is disabled.
