Steroids v0.7
Laravel 4 Blade on Steroids
This package provides some aditional features to Laravel Blade:
Automatic command generation
Create a file named <command>.blade.php in the templates directory and it automatically becomes a blade command.
Take the file
default\css.blade.php
Whaving the contents:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="@_1">
Hackers can now use the command
@css(/css/bootstrap.css)
In their blade templates to generate:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="screen" href="/css/bootstrap.css">
Subtemplating
Every sublevel in your template directory creates a level in command name. This tree:
├── default
│ ├── input.blade.php
│ ├── js.blade.php
│ └── php.blade.php
│ └── text.blade.php
├── bs
│ └── v2
│ │ ├── input.blade.php
│ │ └── form.blade.php
│ │ └── model.blade.php
│ ├── input.blade.php
│ └── form.blade.php
Would give you the following commands:
@input()
@js()
@php()
@text()
@bs.input()
@bs.form()
@bs.v2.input()
@bs.v2.form()
@bs.v2.model()
Block commands
Let's take the (silly, I know! :) @php (file php.blade.php) command as an example of a block:
@php
$title = 'subscribe';
@@
Note that a block ends with @@ and you can have as many nested blocks as you want. This is the @php command's source code:
<?php
@_BODY;
?>
It's that simple, to create a block command you just have to add the @_BODY identifier in any part of your command.
Extending commands
You can create an @input command:
<input type="@_1" @_ATTRIBUTES />
And use it to create a
@text:
@input(text,@_PARAMETERS)
@email:
@input(email,@_PARAMETERS)
and @password commands:
@input(password,@_PARAMETERS)
HTML Attributes, Local Variables and Positional Parameters
You can dynamically create and send any number of parameters to your commands:
HTML Attributes
Take @input as an example:
@input(type=email,class=form-control,id=example,placeholder=Enter email)
Having this template
<input @_ATTRIBUTES />
It will generate this tag:
<input type="email" class="form-control" id="example" placeholder="Enter email">
Local Variables
Use a hash to define a local variable:
@input(#type=email,class=form-control,id=example,placeholder=Enter email)
And you access it by using the variable identifier @_:
<input type="@_type" @_ATTRIBUTES />
Positional Parameters
You also can access any of yours parameter by the number, let's set the type of input as the first one:
@input(email,class=form-control,id=example,placeholder=Enter email)
Then you just have to use the variable identifier followed by the parameter number:
<input type="@_1" @_ATTRIBUTES />
Another example is the Form::model(), provided by @model, this is the template
{{ Form::model(@_1, $options) }}
@_BODY
{{ Form::close() }}
And in your view you just have to:
@model($user,url=/profile)
... your controls ...
@@
Assignment and Multi Assignment
You assign values to local (#) variables by using the equal sign:
@text(#label=form-control)
You assign values to html attributes by doing the same, just don't put the hash sign:
@text(class=form-control)
And you can also do multi assignments:
@text(#label=title=First Name,class=form-control)
Superglobals (licentia poetica)
@_BODY: will be replaced by your command body
@_ATTRIBUTES: all HTML attributes generated by your command
@_PARAMETERS: it's a raw list of parameters, you can use it to pass them forward to an extended command, this is the source of @text, which extends @input:
@if (@_name->has)
@input(text,name=@_1,@_PARAMETERS)
@else
@input(text,@_PARAMETERS)
@endif
@_SINGLE: if you have a command that accepts only one parameter
@h1(Hi There!)
You can use this superglobal:
<h1>@_SINGLE</h1>
But you can still use the positional variable:
<h1>@_1</h1>
Special functions
->has
If you need to know if a variable was set you can use the ->has function:
@if (@_label->has)
<label class="label">@_label</label>
@endif
<input type="@_1" @_ATTRIBUTES />
The ->has function will return true or false, and then your view (in PHP) would probably look like this:
<?php if (false): ?>
<label class="label"></label>
<?php endif; ?>
<input type="email" ... />
Steroids comes with some examples:
->bare
If you need to access one of your HTML attributes you can use the ->bare function:
<input type="@_1" class="@_class->bare" />
Delimiters and Quotation marks
As delimiters of your parameters you can use , or ;:
@input(email,class=form-control,id=example,placeholder=Enter email)
@input(email;class=form-control;id=example;placeholder=Enter email)
You don't need to use quotation marks (single ' or double "), unless you need to use any of those delimiters in your strings:
@input(email,placeholder="Hello, World!")
Examples
Steroids comes with some examples, but you can get crazy and create as many as you wish:
├── default
│ ├── css.blade.php
│ ├── form.blade.php
│ ├── h.blade.php
│ ├── input.blade.php
│ ├── js.blade.php
│ ├── model.blade.php
│ ├── p.blade.php
│ ├── php.blade.php
│ ├── row.blade.php
│ └── text.blade.php
├── bs
│ ├── md.blade.php
│ └── xs.blade.php
Easy creation of partials
Sometimes creating s simple box can be as complicated as:
<div class="row">
<article class="col-sm-12 col-md-12 col-lg-12">
<div>
<div class="jarviswidget-editbox">
@editbox('your name goes here')
</div>
<div class="widget-body no-padding">
@_BODY
</div>
</div>
</div>
</article>
</div>
But after Steroids, you just need to do this in your code:
@box
And do whatever you need inside it!
