laravel-support
===============

[](#laravel-support)

This library contains common funtionality that I use across many Laravel applications. I think some of this stuff belongs in the framework, but what do I know?

Installation is simple:

```
composer require bram1028/laravel-support

```

The service provider will be loaded automatically.

---

@optional
---------

[](#optional)

Checks if a section has content, so you can wrap a yield in other code.

```
@optional('hero')

            {!! $yield !!}

@endoptional
```

Route::if()
-----------

[](#routeif)

Makes styling active nav links much cleaner.

```

        About Us

```

And yes, you can pass multiple route names. The last parameter is used as the output value.

artisan job:list
----------------

[](#artisan-joblist)

Lists all jobs under `App\Jobs`.

artisan job:run
---------------

[](#artisan-jobrun)

Runs a job under `App\Jobs`.

> Currently only supports jobs without constructor parameters.
