It's missing features to make it really powerful and although I've written tests I'm sure there are probably still important bugs I've missed. What I would really like is if you'd like to test it, look at the code and send me suggestions and pull-requests to make it better. Install ------- [](#install) Use ``` composer require evertt/slade ``` to include this package into your Laravel project. Then in `config/app.php` add `Slade\ServiceProvider::class` to your list of service providers. Usage ----- [](#usage) To use this engine all you need to do is create template files that end in `.slade.php` instead of `.blade.php`. Example ------- [](#example) The following template ``` doctype html html head title Slade link href="style.css" css: body { color: #333; } body h1 My first Slade template! ? $name p | Hello $name, this line only appears | if the name variable contains a truthy. ! $name p There is no name. div It also works fine with just plain html. h2 Here is a list of names of people: ul > $people li = $person->name + elements.footer ``` Could parse into the following HTML: ``` > Slade body { color: #333; } My first Slade template! Hello John Doe, this line only appears if the name variable contains a truthy. It also works fine with just plain html. Here is a list of names of people: Harry Ron Hermione © Me 2015 ``` You can also extend another template this way: ``` _ layouts.default @ content p This paragraph will be assigned to the 'content' section ``` Which will then extend for example `layouts/default.slade.php` and the paragraph will appear wherever the following line is included in `layouts/default.slade.php`: ``` - content ``` Inserting variables ------------------- [](#inserting-variables) As you saw, you can insert variables in a few ways. I want to show a few more. ``` p | So this is a block of text in which you can put variables. You can do that in the following manner: $var or {$var} or ${var}. The {} syntax only works if there's no whitespace after the { and before the } though. And finally you can also execute function calls like so: {implode(' ', $var)}. Again, make sure there's no whitespace immediately following the { or immediately preceding the }. ``` More ---- [](#more) There's a lot more you can do. I intend to write a more complete wiki about it soon. If you'd like to contribute to the docs or the code or suggest any features then please file an issue or submit a pull-request. That would be the greatest gift for me. ### Health Score 26 — LowBetter than 43% of packages Maintenance19 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity23 Limited adoption so far Community13 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 98.5% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
