Markdown Compiler for Laravel 4
===============================

[](#markdown-compiler-for-laravel-4)

### Installation

[](#installation)

Run `composer require vtalbot/markdown:1.5`

Run `php artisan config:publish vtalbot/markdown`

Then edit `config.php` in `app/config/packages/vtalbot/markdown` to your needs.

Add `'VTalbot\Markdown\MarkdownServiceProvider',` to `providers` in `app/config/app.php`and `'Markdown' => 'VTalbot\Markdown\Facades\Markdown',` to `aliases` in `app/config/app.php`

### Usage

[](#usage)

```
http://domain.name/test.md

```

If `test.md` doesn't exists in the `public` directory, it will search for `test.md` in `app/markdown` directory. If found, compile it if needed and return the result.

```
Markdown::make('file-in-markdown-directory');
```

Or, you can compile a simple string:

```
Markdown::string('#test');
```

To handle markdown file not found:

```
Markdown::setNotFoundHandler(function($file) { return 'Markdown file not found'; });
Markdown::setNotFoundHandler('MarkdownController@missing');
```
