BetterBlade
===========

[](#betterblade)

A port of Laravel 9's inline blade rendering functionality for use with previous versions of Laravel. Currently this only supports v7.0+.

Please note that this package is intended for those who are not ready to upgrade their projects to Laravel 9 but wish to use the inline rendering. However, if you have time and resources to, I recommend installing/upgrading to Laravel 9 over using this package. (There's more to offer!)

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

[](#installation)

Using composer:

```
composer require strakez/betterblade
```

Setup/Discovery
---------------

[](#setupdiscovery)

The package setup should be autodiscovered after installation. If not, you can do one of the following steps:

### Setup via Script

[](#setup-via-script)

Run the autodiscover script manually:

```
php artisan package:discover
```

### Setup via Config File

[](#setup-via-config-file)

Manually include the following two lines in your `config/app.php` file:

- Under "Autoloaded Service Providers"

```
BetterBlade\BetterBladeServiceProvider::class
```

- Under "Class Aliases"

```
'BetterBlade'   =>  BetterBlade\BetterBladeFacade::class,
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Use the facade `BetterBlade::render()` to render inline templates as strings.

```
$inlineTemplate = "Hello {{ $place }}. Wassup {{ $otherPlace }}!";

$replacementVariables = [
    'place' => "World",
    'otherPlace' => "Universe"
];

$string = BetterBlade::render($inlineTemplate, $replacementVariables);

echo $string;
// Hello World. Wassup Universe!
```

This follows the usage and functionality found in Laravel 9. For more on this, please visit .

Alternate Usage / Polyfill
--------------------------

[](#alternate-usage--polyfill)

Since the BetterBlade compiler extends the core Blade compiler, it is possible to override the Blade facade with BetterBlade while maintaining existing functionality. To do this, comment out the default reference in the `config/app.php` file, and add the following:

```
//'Blade' => Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade::class,
'Blade' => BetterBlade\BetterBladeFacade::class,
```

Then, usage would be as follows:

```
$string = Blade::render($inlineTemplate, $replacementVariables);
```

This method works to polyfill the inline render functionality to the existing facade, ideally reducing code changes for future migrations to Laravel 9+. However, some may opt to keep this functionality separate from the default usages, so the choice is in your hands.
