**Inky-Compiler for Laravel blade-files**

Allows you to use Foundation's [Inky](http://foundation.zurb.com/emails/docs/inky.html) email templates nicely in Laravel.

It uses our [InkyPHP](https://github.com/frogbob/inky-php) to compile inky-language to its html-version.

Any views with a `.inky.php` extension will be compiled with both Inky and Blade, allowing you to use both templating engines seamlessly together. CSS is automatically inlined so styles work in email clients that don't support external stylesheets.

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

[](#installation)

Require with composer

```
composer require frogbob/laravel-blinky

```

Once installed, you'll need to register the service provider. Open `config/app.php` and add to the `providers` key:

```
Frogbob\LaravelBlinky\BlinkyServiceProvider::class

```

Usage and Examples
------------------

[](#usage-and-examples)

Check the [Foundation for Emails docs](http://foundation.zurb.com/emails/docs/index.html) for full usage on how to use Inky and Foundation for Emails CSS.

Create an Inky view e.g. `emails/welcome.inky.php`

```

    Welcome, {{ $name }}

```

Use `Mail` as usual in Laravel

```
Mail::send('emails.welcome', ['name' => $user->name], function ($m) use ($user) {
  $m->from('hello@app.com', 'Your Application');

  $m->to($user->email, $user->name)->subject('Welcome!');
});
```

You can create a Blade layout to inherit from e.g. `emails/layout.inky.php`

```
"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

  @yield('content')

```

then

```
@extends('emails.layout')

@section('content')

      Welcome, {{ $name }}

@stop
```

### CSS Inlining

[](#css-inlining)

`` and `` are automatically inlined.

The location of your `` `href` is resolved to the `resources/assets/css` directory, so in the example above it expects some CSS at `resources/assets/css/foundation-emails.css`.

Here's a handy reference for CSS in emails: [CSS Support Guide for Email Clients](https://www.campaignmonitor.com/css/)

**Ignore CSS inlining**

Maybe you want to ignore the css inlining.

Just update add following settings to `config/views.php`:

```
    'laravel_blinky' => [
        'use_inliner' => false
    ]
```
