Laravel HTML Tidy
=================

[](#laravel-html-tidy)

tl;dr
-----

[](#tldr)

[Laravel-html-tidy](https://github.com/Stolz/laravel-html-tidy) is a [Laravel middleware](http://laravel.com/docs/master/middleware) that parses Laravel's *Response* objects in order to detect and fix markup problems as well as to improve the layout and indent style of the resulting markup.

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

When editing HTML it's easy to make mistakes. Did you ever forget to close a `` tag that made a mess of all your layout and then you went crazy trying to figure out what/where the problem was?. Wouldn't it be nice if there was a simple way to detect and fix these mistakes automatically and at the same time tidy up sloppy editing into nicely layed out markup? Well that is what [W3C HTML Tidy](http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/) utility is for!. HTML Tidy is available as an official [PHP extension](http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.tidy.php) and this package makes using it with Laravel a breeze.

Once the middleware is enabled every time there is a problem with your HTML code you will see an error messages on your screen. Tidy will try its best to fix the problem for you. Also, if you take a look of the final HTML code sent to the browser you will get a pleasant surprise.

**Note:** HTML Tidy is fast but parsing output always adds a small overhead so consider using the middleware only in development environments.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP compiled with HTML Tidy support and [Tidy](http://php.net/manual/en/book.tidy.php) extension enabled in php.ini.
- Laravel framework.

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

[](#installation)

Install via composer

```
composer require stolz/laravel-html-tidy --dev

```

If you are using an old version of Laravel without the package discovery feature (or if you have disabled it), then you have to manually edit `config/app.php` file and add the service provider to the `providers` array:

```
'providers' => [
	...
	'Stolz\HtmlTidy\ServiceProvider',
],

```

The default settings can validate both (x)HTML 4 and HTML 5 markups. If you want to customize the settings create the file `config/tidy.php` by running

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider='Stolz\HtmlTidy\ServiceProvider'

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

If you want the middleware to be run only on specific routes, add the class in the `$routeMiddleware` property of your `app/Http/Kernel.php` file, with your desired short-hand key.

```
protected $routeMiddleware = [
	...
	'tidy' => 'Stolz\HtmlTidy\Middleware',
];

```

Now you can use it in your `routes.php` file

```
Route::get('some/url', function () {...})->middleware('tidy');

```

Conversely if you want the middleware to be run on every HTTP request to your application, add the class in the `$middleware` property of your `app/Http/Kernel.php` file.

```
protected $middleware = [
	...
	'Stolz\HtmlTidy\Middleware',
];

```

Laravel 4
---------

[](#laravel-4)

If you are still using Laravel 4 instead of loading `Stolz\HtmlTidy\ServiceProvider` use `Stolz\HtmlTidy\LegacyServiceProvider` and then in your `routes.php` file use something like this

```
// Register filter
Route::filter('tidy', function($route, $request, $response) {
	return app('stolz.tidy')->handle($request, $response);
});

// Use as an 'after' filter
Route::get('/', ['after' => 'tidy', function() {
	return View::make('home');
}]);

```
