Laravel View Presenters
Laravel view presenters.
Presenters allow you to manipulate any form of data for display within a view file. A simple example would be if you have a user entity with fields for the first and last names, how would you simply display the full name of the user within your view file? The most common solution would be something like the following:
Which works, but every time you need to display a user's full name, you'd have to type this out. What if instead it was something like this:
Isn't that much more readable than the previous example? Now you may argue that you could add this type of logic directly to your model class, which you could, but then you'll find that your model classes are riddled with methods that are manipulating view logic. I don't believe model entities should be responsible for this. Their only job is to pull the requested data from the database and hand it over. That's it.
Quick Installation
Begin by installing the package through Composer.
And that's it! With your coffee in reach, start building out some awesome presenters!
Usage
1. Pull in trait
Within your model, simply pull in the Karl456\Presenter\Traits\PresentableTrait
trait, which will automatically instantiate the Karl456 Presenter class.
2. Define your presenter class
Define a protected $presenter
variable pointing to the namespace of your presenter class.
3. Create your presenter class
Create a new class as defined within your model earlier - in our case we'll create a new directory within the app
directory called Presenters
, and create a Page
file. Presenters should extend the abstract Karl456\Presenter\Presenter
class.
4. Define your presenter methods
Your model instance is passed through to your presenter class automatically, and is accessible via $this->entity
. With that, you may now define any number of presenter methods here as you wish.
The usage for the above would then be {{ $page->present()->title }}
.
