Voyager Themes

This is a theme hook for voyager and the hook system

Installing the hook

You can use the artisan command below to install this hook

Adding Themes

The voyager-themes hook will look inside of the resources/themes folder for any folder that has a .json file inside of it with the same name. (You can change the theme folder location in the config)

As an example if you have a folder called sample-theme and inside that folder you have another file called sample-theme.json with the following contents:

Voyager Themes will detect this as a new theme. You can also include a sample screenshot of your theme, which would be sample-theme.jpg (800x500px) for best results

In fact, you can checkout the sample-theme repo here: https://github.com/thedevdojo/sample-theme

You can activate this theme inside of Voyager and then when you want to tell your application which view to load you can use:

This will then look in the current active theme folder for a new view called welcome.blade.php :D

Theme Configs

You may choose to publish a config to your project by running:

You will want to publish the voyager-themes-config, and you will now see a new config located at config/themes.php, which will look like the following:

Now, you can choose an alternate location for your themes folder. By default this will be put into the resources/views folder; however, you can change that to any location you would like.

Additionally, you can set publish_assets to true or false, if it is set to true anytime the themes directory is scanned it will publish the assets folder in your theme to the public folder inside a new themes folder. Set this to false and this will no longer happen.

Theme Options

You can also easily add a number of options by including another file in the theme folder called options.blade.php

Inside the options.blade.php file you can now add a new field as simple as:

This will now add a new text field and store it with a key of title. So, now if you wanted to reference this value anywhere in your theme files you can simple echo it out like so:

Couldn't be easier, right!

Take a look at all the following explanation of the theme_field function.
