The standalone version of [Laravel's Blade templating engine](http://laravel.com/docs/5.4/blade) for use outside of Laravel.

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

[](#installation)

Install using composer:

```
composer require jeffkarney/blade
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Create a Blade instance by passing it the folder(s) where your view files are located, and a cache folder. Render a template by calling the `make` method. More information about the Blade templating engine can be found on .

```
use JeffKarney\Blade\Blade;

$blade = new Blade('views', 'cache');

echo $blade->make('homepage', ['name' => 'John Doe']);
```

Now you can easily create a directive by calling the `compiler()` function

```
$blade->compiler()->directive('datetime', function ($expression) {
    return "";
});
