\#Installation

Require this package in your `composer.json` and update composer.

```
"brouwers/shortcodes": "1.*"
```

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

```
'Brouwers\Shortcodes\ShortcodesServiceProvider',
```

You can use the facade for shorter code. Add this to your aliases:

```
'Shortcode' => 'Brouwers\Shortcodes\Facades\Shortcode',
```

The class is bound to the ioC as `shortcode`

```
$shortcode = App::make('shortcode');
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

View compiling
--------------

[](#view-compiling)

By default shortcode compiling is set to false inside the config.

### withShortcodes()

[](#withshortcodes)

To enable the view compiling features:

```
return View::make('view')->withShortcodes();
```

This will enable shortcode rendering for that view only.

### Config

[](#config)

Enabeling the shortcodes through config `shortcodes::enabled` will enable shortcoding rendering for all views.

### Enable through class

[](#enable-through-class)

```
Shortcode::enable();
```

### Disable through class

[](#disable-through-class)

```
Shortcode::disable();
```

### Disabeling some views from shortcode compiling

[](#disabeling-some-views-from-shortcode-compiling)

With the config set to true, you can disable the compiling per view.

```
return View::make('view')->withoutShortcodes();
```

Default compiling
-----------------

[](#default-compiling)

To use default compiling:

```
Shortcode::compile($contents);
```

Registering new shortcodes
--------------------------

[](#registering-new-shortcodes)

Inside a file or service provider you can register the shortcodes. (E.g. `app/start/shortcodes.php` or `App/Services/ShortcodeServiceProvider.php`)

### Callback

[](#callback)

Shortcodes can be registered like Laravel macro's with a callback:

```
Shortcode::register('b', function($shortcode, $content, $compiler, $name)
{
  return '' . $content . '';
});

```

### Default class

[](#default-class)

```
class BoldShortcode {

  public function register($shortcode, $content, $compiler, $name)
  {
    return '' . $content . '';
  }
}

Shortcode::register('b', 'BoldShortcode');
```

### Class with custom method

[](#class-with-custom-method)

```
class BoldShortcode {

  public function custom($shortcode, $content, $compiler, $name)
  {
    return '' . $content . '';
  }
}

Shortcode::register('b', 'BoldShortcode@custom');
```

### Register helpers

[](#register-helpers)

If you only want to show the html attribute when the attribute is provided in the shortcode, you can use `$shortcode->get($attributeKey, $fallbackValue = null)`

```
class BoldShortcode {

  public function register($shortcode, $content, $compiler, $name)
  {
    return '' . $content . '';
  }
}
```
