Laravel Widget

Laravel Widget is a class based approach for structuring portions of your views.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require chargefield/laravel-widget

Usage

Artisan Command

php artisan make:widget ExampleWidget

or

php artisan widget:make ExampleWidget

This will generate the following files:

app/Http/Widgets/ExampleWidget.php

resources/views/widgets/example-widget.blade.php

Blade Directive

Including a widget is as easy as using the @widget blade directive:

@widget('ExampleWidget')

You can pass external data to the widget as an array to the second argument. It will be available in both the class and view:

@widget('ExampleWidget', ['four' => 'Four'])

Widget Data

All public properties and public methods are passed down to the view as their respected names.

Example

Widget Class:

namespace App\Http\Widgets;

use Chargefield\LaravelWidget\BaseWidget;

class ExampleWidget extends BaseWidget
{
    public $title = 'Hello World';

    public function numbers()
    {
        return [
            'One', 'Two', 'Three', $this->four,
        ];
    }
}

Widget Blade View:

<h1>{{ $title }}</h1>
@foreach($numbers as $number)
<p>{{ $number }}</p>
@endforeach

Output:

<h1>Hello World</h1>
<p>One</p>
<p>Two</p>
<p>Three</p>
<p>Four</p>

Testing

You can run the tests with:

vendor/bin/phpunit
