Tool Kit for Laravel
====================

[](#tool-kit-for-laravel)

Includes a set of useful tools for the Laravel framework.

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

- [Helpers](docs/helpers.md) - Global helper functions
- [Blade Directives](docs/blade-directives.md) - @nltobr, @nltobrcompact, @nltop, @nltopflat
- [Components](docs/components.md) - Required field marker
- [Enums](docs/enums.md) - AppEnv, Civilities

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

[](#installation)

With Composer:

```
composer require axn/tool-kit-for-laravel
```

To use some of these tools you must have correctly installed the package [forxer/generic-term-translations-for-laravel](https://github.com/forxer/generic-term-translations-for-laravel#generic-term-translations-for-laravel) already prerequisite by this package (therefore present).

Use the locales publisher of [Laravel Lang](https://laravel-lang.com/) to add/update/reset or remove translations:

- If you have never used [Laravel Lang](https://laravel-lang.com/): [add locales](https://laravel-lang.com/usage/add-locales.html)
- If you are already using [Laravel Lang](https://laravel-lang.com/): just [update the locales](https://laravel-lang.com/usage/update-locales.html)
