Laravel Jade Templating Engine

This is my first Laravel package for my friend's Final Year Project,hope you like it., _(*1)

Requirement

• Laravel 4
• Jade executable (install from sudo npm install -g jade)
• *It may not work on windows machine(you can try cygwin and the like)

Installation

In your composer.json add "man/jade": "dev-master" to require, _(*2)

composer.json

{
    //...
    "require": {
        "laravel/framework": "*",
        "man/jade": "dev-master"
    },
    //...
}

Run the command composer update in terminal, _(*3)

bash

composer update

after that in app/config/app.php add 'Man\Jade\JadeServiceProvider' to 'providers' and 'Jade' => 'Man\Jade\Jade' to alias, _(*4)

app.php

<?php
    'providers' => array(
    //......
        'Illuminate\Workbench\WorkbenchServiceProvider',
        'Man\Jade\JadeServiceProvider'
    ),
    'aliases' => array(
    //.......
            'View'            => 'Illuminate\Support\Facades\View',
            'Jade'            => 'Man\Jade\Jade'
        ),

Usage example

first create a app/jade folder, _(*5)

routes.php

<?php
Route::get("/example",function(){
    $data = [
    "hello" => "You are welcome.",
    "welcome"=>true,
    "list"=>["item1,item2,item3"],
    "escapetxt"=>"<b>bold tags</b>"
    return Jade::render("example/index",$data);
});

note that the View::make('blah') will still work., _(*6)

app/jade/example/index.jade

    if welcome
        ul
            for item in list
                li item
        h1 #{hello}
        p= escapetxt
        p!= escapetxt
    else
        h1 PLEASE LEAVE

html result

    <ul>
        <li>item 1</li>
        <li>item 2</li>
        <li>item 3</li>
    </ul>
    <h1>You are welcome.</h1>
    <p>&lt;p&gt;bold tags&lt;/p&gt</p>
    <p><b>bold tags</b></p>
