Transform PHP Vars to JavaScript
Often, you'll find yourself in situations, where you want to pass some server-side string/array/collection/whatever to your JavaScript. Traditionally, this can be a bit of a pain - especially as your app grows.
This package simplifies the process drastically.
Installation
Begin by installing this package through Composer.
If you use Laravel 4: instead install
~1.0
of this package (and use the documentation for that release). For Laravel 5 (or non-Laravel),~2.0
will do the trick!
Laravel Users
For Laravel users, there is a service provider you can make use of to automatically register the necessary bindings.
Laravel 5.5+ users: this step may be skipped, as we can auto-register the package with the framework.
When this provider is booted, you'll gain access to a helpful JavaScript
facade, which you may use in your controllers.
In Laravel 5, of course add
use JavaScript;
to the top of your controller.
Using the code above, you'll now be able to access foo
, user
, and age
from your JavaScript.
This package, by default, binds your JavaScript variables to a "footer" view, which you will include. For example:
Naturally, you can change this default to a different view. See below.
Defaults
If using Laravel, there are only two configuration options that you'll need to worry about. First, publish the default configuration.
This will add a new configuration file to: config/javascript.php
.
bind_js_vars_to_this_view
You need to update this file to specify which view you want your new JavaScript variables to be prepended to. Typically, your footer is a good place for this.
If you include something like a layouts/partials/footer
partial, where you store your footer and script references, then make the bind_js_vars_to_this_view
key equal to that path. Behind the scenes, the Laravel implementation of this package will listen for when that view is composed, and essentially paste the JS variables within it.
js_namespace
By default, all JavaScript vars will be nested under the global window
object. You'll likely want to change this. Update the
js_namespace
key with the name of your desired JavaScript namespace. It can be anything. Just remember: if you change this setting (which you should),
then you'll access all JavaScript variables, like so:
Note
Run this artisan command after changing the view path.
Symfony2
To use this component in Symfony2 applications you can try this bundle, built on top of PHP-Vars-To-Js-Transformer.
Without Laravel
If you're not using Laravel, then you'll need to hard-wire things yourself. (Or, feel free to submit a pull request with an implementation for your desired framework.)
First, create an implementation of the Laracasts\Utilities\JavaScript\ViewBinder
interface. This class is in charge of inserting the given JavaScript into your view/page.
Next, put it all together:
Now, you can access window.foo
from your JavaScript.
Remember, though, this is only necessary if you aren't using Laravel. If you are, then just reference the service provider, as demonstrated above.
