Drop-in theme support for Laravel 4
Overview
The Lightgear Theme package adds support for themes to a Laravel 4 application.
Features
- Views overrides for both app and packages
- Theme assets (css, less and js) support via Lightgear Asset package
Installation
Via Laravel 4 Package Installer
Manual
Just require
in your composer.json and run
Then register the service provider
and, optionally, the alias
in app/config/app.php
Important: regardless of the installation method, until I find a better way to handle this, make sure to have the ThemeServiceProvider as the last registered or, at least, after the service providers containing the views you want to override.
This is needed in order to override the packages' views.
Usage
First create the directory that will contain your themes. By default this is "themes" located in the application root but this can be changed in the config file. A tipical theme structure would be:
As you notice each theme must have an info.php file with the following contents:
This is a pretty simple structure. For more information about the theme assets, please refer to Lightgear Asset documentation.
Views overrides
To override any views (be it from app or package) just create the corresponding file in the views directory.
For example, to override the view package::posts.index just create the file views/package/posts/index.php.
The same goes with the views located in the app.
The view posts.index would be overridden in views/posts/index.php.
Configuration
Both the themes directory and the active theme can be set in the config file.
