The content will be kept in memory and reused anytime you call the model builder. It's not shared between requests. I wrote this package because I built my custom blog on Laravel, with Laravel Nova. I like it for long articles but for journaling, I found the writing experience not so nice. With this package, I write in Ghost admin, but the content is still published via Laravel. 🏄‍♂️ Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require julienbourdeau/laravel-ghost-connector ``` Add your Ghost credentials in our `.env`. ``` GHOST_API_URL=http://localhost:2369 GHOST_CONTENT_KEY=2b3934d798ccce67daacdc8adb ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Here are a few simple example how you'd typically use this package. The following code will make **one single HTTP call to Ghost**. ``` Post::count(); Post::all()->map(function($x) { dump($x->title); }); Post::where('featured', true)->get(); ``` ``` @foreach (Post::all() as $post) {{ $post->title }} {{ nl2br($post->excerpt) }} @endforeach ``` ### Ghost API [](#ghost-api) When retrieving the posts from Ghost, the package will [include tags and authors](https://ghost.org/docs/api/v3/content/#posts). Content is also casted, using the regular `$casts` Model feature. #### Example [](#example) [This is the API response](https://github.com/julienbourdeau/laravel-ghost-connector/blob/master/tests/fixtures/posts.json) and the following is `Post::first()->toArray()`. ``` array:34 [ "id" => "5e80568dc50444aef65bea46" "uuid" => "97f42901-6b26-4a61-9ec6-96852d05e0f3" "title" => "Welcome to Ghost" "slug" => "welcome" "html" => "A few things you should knowGhost is designed for ambitious ...
