# Build your assets for production using
# npm run production
# Read more about Laravel Mix on their official documentation.

Controllers

Default Wordpress templates files (such as index.php, page.php, etc.) are now your Controllers. Define in them all the logic for the specified template.

How to use

1. The Wordpress template file should not directly return HTML or PHP code.
2. You should a call our core library using $core = new Parfaitement\Core; . This is going to intantiate an object with a lot of the common functions we need across the site.

3. Return your Laravel Blade using the $core->render($view, $data) method. $view is the name of the view (without .blade.php extension). $data is an array of variables you want to pass to the view.

   Views are saved under the resources/views folder.

The $core variable offers additional features:

• Access The Laravel HTTP Request using $core->$request It's useful for retrieving input with $core->request->input('name') by exemple.
• Inject specific a CSS file for this template only using $core->include_style()
• Inject specific a JS file for this template only using $core->include_script()

Views

Blade views *.blade.php are stored under the resources/views folder and are parsed using the Laravel Blade template engine.

Assets

All assets are stored in the resources/assets folder. Normally as follow:

• resources/assets/images
• resources/assets/js
• resources/assets/sass

Assets are compiled using Laravel Mix. Laravel Mix is a clean layer on top of webpack to make the 80% use case laughably simple to execute.

Out-of-the box, it includes:

• Minification & Compression
• JS with ES2017, Vue Support, Hot Replacement
• CSS Preprocessors. LESS, SASS, Stylus & PostCss
• Browsersync
• Cache-busting (Automatic versioning)

CSS files are processed using POSTCSS by default.

mix()

We've added support for the mix() helper for cache-busting from within your template. When using $core->include_style() or $core->include_script() in your controllers, your scripts ans styles will be automatically cache-busted.

Linking to assets from templates

Link your assets (images, icon, ...) using our custom asset() helper.

<img src="{{ asset('/images/logo.png') }}" />`

Tailwind CSS

This theme comes with Tailwind CSS, an utility-CSS framework pre-installed. You can still remove it form the package.json dependencies and edit the CSS style as you like.

CSS files are processed using POSTCSS by default.

Forms

Custom Form can be handle this way:

In your page.php

$validator = $core->validation->make(
    $core->request->input(),
    [
        'name' => 'required',
        // other rules
    ]
);

if ($validator->fails()) {
    $errors = $validator->errors();
}

$data = [
    'errors' => $errors
];
$core->render('page', $data);

In your page.blade.php

    @if (isset($errors) && $errors->any())
        <div class="alert alert-danger" role="alert">
            @foreach ($errors->all() as $error)
                <p>{{$error}}</p>
            @endforeach
        </div>
    @endif

    <form action="{{ site_url() }}/wp-admin/admin-post.php" method="post">

        <input type="hidden" name="action" value="contact_form">
        <input type="text" name="name" placeholder="Your Name">

        <input type="submit" value="Submit">
    </form>

In app/ContactForm/php

## Usage
$custom = new \App\Custom();
$articles = $custom->get_articles();

Classic Editor

The Classic Editor plugin is included in the Composer dependencies. Using this command todownload and install it in your Wordpress default plugins folder.

You still need to manually activate the plugin in the Plugins page.

composer install

Gutenberg ACF Blocks

This starter theme supports ACF Blocks for easy Gutenberg Block creation. Please read the ACF Blocks Documentation to learn how to proceed. In this theme, the blocks are registered in the inc/acf-blocks.php file. Views for the blocks are rendered from the /resources/views/blocks folder.

The Blocks views does not support Laravel Balde synthax. Regular PHP is needed.

Cleaner Wordpress

We've included several classes to offer a cleaner version of Wordpress by default.

You can enable or disable any of them by copying the .env.example configuration file at the root of your theme folder to .env and customize its content with the following options:
