ABetter Toolkit is a package of new and modified directives for faster development of component-based web applications, with focus on scalable static caching.

---

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.2+
- Imagick 3+
- MySQL 5.7+
- Composer 1.6+
- Laravel 5.8+
- Deployer 6+
- Node 10.0+
- NPM 6.4+

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Via Composer:

```
composer require abetter/toolkit
```

#### Laravel modifications

[](#laravel-modifications)

Add middleware to app/Http/Kernel.php:

```
protected $middleware = [
	\ABetter\Toolkit\SandboxMiddleware::class,
];
```

Note: The middleware helps Blade clear the view cache when developing many nested components.

---

Directives
----------

[](#directives)

#### @component : Improved directive for injecting components

[](#component--improved-directive-for-injecting-components)

```
@component('',[])
@component('',TRUE)
@component('')  @endcomponent

```

Component names will be auto-resolved if the blade file has same basename as folder.

You can auto-terminate a @component with TRUE as the second paramater, to avoid writing out @endcomponent, e.g when not using any slots or nested content.

#### @inject : Improved directive for injecting class as variable

[](#inject--improved-directive-for-injecting-class-as-variable)

```
@inject('','')
@inject('Menu','Menu.class.php')
@inject('Menu')

```

Class-files will be auto-resolved if it's located in the component folder.

#### @block : Insert wrapped block section

[](#block--insert-wrapped-block-section)

```
@block('')
@block('block--typography')
@endblock

```

#### @style : Embedd sass/css in html source code

[](#style--embedd-sasscss-in-html-source-code)

```
@style('')
@style('menu.scss')

```

Embedded Sass/CSS files will be rendered as external files in development mode to support browsersync live, but will be embedded in html source on Stage/Production for better caching.

#### @script : Embedd js in html source code

[](#script--embedd-js-in-html-source-code)

```
@script('')
@script('menu.js')

```

Embedded JS files will be rendered as external files in development mode to support browsersync live, but will be embedded in html source on Stage/Production for better caching.

#### @svg : Embedd svg in html source code

[](#svg--embedd-svg-in-html-source-code)

```
@svg('')
