Blade CLI
=========

[](#blade-cli)

Blade CLI is a command line compiler for the Laravel Blade templating engine. You simply specify what templates you want to process as arguments.

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

[](#installation)

To install you can either clone this repo and run `composer install && composer build` or simply retrieving the latest PHAR from the [releases page](https://www.github.com/nsrosenqvist/blade-cli/releases/latest).

I also have a convenience feature configured that install the PHAR to `/usr/bin` by running `composer build:install` but it makes a whole lot of assumptions of your OS and probably only works on Linux and macOS. Use at your own risk.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

`php blade-cli.phar [options] [--]  ()...`

### Arguments

[](#arguments)

ArgumentDetails``The template path can be specified as a relative URI, absolute and also as how Blade natively handles include references (pages/index.blade.php vs pages.index). If supplied as a Blade reference then a base directory must be set### Options:

[](#options)

OptionDetails`--data=DATA`Variables passed on to the template as a JSON file/string or a PHP file returning an associative array (multiple values allowed)`--output-dir=OUTPUT-DIR`Output path relative from current working directory or absolute`--base-dir=BASE-DIR`Base directory to look for template files from. If not set, template's containing dir is assumed (multiple values allowed)`--output-ext=OUTPUT-EXT`When an output dir is specified you can also set what file extension the compiled template should be created with \[default: "txt"\]`--extend=EXTEND`This option accepts a path to a PHP file with user code to extend the compiler by using $compiler->extend()`--dynamic-base`Automatically add the parent directories of all templates as base directories. This requires a new Blade compiler instance for each template file which adds overhead but simplifies processing multiple templates at once and have each be a self-contained template hierarchy tree. This is not compatible with templates supplied as native Blade references`-h, --help`Display this help message`-q, --quiet`Do not output any message`-V, --version`Display this application version`--ansi`Force ANSI output`--no-ansi`Disable ANSI output`-n, --no-interaction`Do not ask any interactive question`-v/vv/vvv, --verbose`Increase the verbosity of messages: 1 for normal output, 2 for more verbose output and 3 for debugDevelopment
-----------

[](#development)

Clone and run `composer install`. You can then run the app by executing `php bin/blade` from the root directory. To create a distributable PHAR you run `composer build`. To verify that templates are processed correctly you can run `composer test`.
