### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 7.0 or above.

Basic Usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
require '../vendor/xy2z/blader-core/src/init.php';

$blader->addRoute('GET', '/', 'home'); // Renders '../views/home.blade.php'
$blader->addRoute('GET', '/about', 'about'); // Renders '../views/about.blade.php'

```

That's it.

Features
--------

[](#features)

#### Global variables

[](#global-variables)

In your `/public/index.php`, add:

```
$blader->global_vars = [
	'foo' => 'bar',
];
```

#### Config

[](#config)

A default config file is added in `config/app.php`. You can delete this if you don't need it.

You can add as many files here as you want. `PHP`, `INI` and `JSON` files are supported.

You can access the config everywhere by calling `Config::get('filename.key')`.

Use `Config::get('app.name')` to access the `name` key in `config/app.php`:

#### Route specific headers

[](#route-specific-headers)

```
$blader->addRoute('GET', '/rss', 'rss', function() {
	header('Content-type: application/rss+xml; charset=utf-8');
});
```

#### Adding route specific variables

[](#adding-route-specific-variables)

```
$blader->addRoute('GET', '/rss', 'rss', function() {
	// Return all variables you want in the view.
	return [
		'foo' => 'bar',
	];
});

// 'views/rss.blade.php' can now print $foo
```
