Rendering Templates
We’ve often used View::make() to render views. It’s great for when we have pre-defined view files
and we want Laravel to manage how they are rendered and stored. In this tutorial, we’re going
to be rendering templates from strings. We’ll need to encapsulate some of how Laravel rendered
templates, but it’ll also give us a good base for extending upon the Blade template syntax.
Let’s get started by creating a service provider:
1 php artisan workbench formativ/cms
This will generate the usual scaffolding for a new package. We need to add it in a few places, to be
able to use it in our application:
1 "providers" => [
2 "Formativ\Cms\CmsServiceProvider",
3 // …remaining service providers
4 ],
.
This was extracted from app/config/app.php.
1 "autoload" : {
2 "classmap" : [
3 // …
4 ],
5 "psr-0" : {
6 "Formativ\\Cms" : "workbench/formativ/cms/src/"
7 }
8 }
.
This was extracted from composer.json.
Then we need to rebuild the composer autoloader:
