The standalone version of [Laravel's Blade templating engine](https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/blade) for use outside of Laravel.

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

[](#installation)

Install using composer:

```
composer require leafs/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 Leaf\Blade;

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

You can also initialise it globally and point to template directories later.

```
$blade = new Blade;

// somewhere, maybe in a different file
$blade->configure("app/views", "app/views/cache");
```

```
echo $blade->make('index', ['name' => 'Michael Darko'])->render();
```

Alternatively you can use the shorthand method `render`:

```
echo $blade->render('index', ['name' => 'Michael Darko']);
```

We can have this as our template `index.blade.php`

```

        {{ $name }}

        {{ $name }}

```

You can also extend Blade using the `directive()` function:

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

Which allows you to use the following in your blade template:

```
Current date: @datetime($date)

```

The Blade instances passes all methods to the internal view factory. So methods such as `exists`, `file`, `share`, `composer` and `creator` are available as well. Check out the [original documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/views) for more information.
