Warning: work in progress

Miravel is currently a work in progress and cannot yet be used in real projects. Most things described below are not yet implemented. When a usable version is released, this warning will go away., _(*1)

Miravel

A theme engine for the Laravel framework, with its own theme repository, and with the ability for everyone to develop and contribute their own themes., _(*2)

The full documentation is available at: https://miravel.io/docs, _(*3)

Features:

Miravel comes with a default theme that already contains most popular layouts: fluid, fixed width, one- and two-column, sticky footer, form centered on a screen etc.
Themes consists of skins, layouts, elements (blocks) and templates. All of them can be used independently and even with conjunction with components from other themes.
Miravel is very inobtrusive and can co-exist with any other frontend logic, being called / used only when needed. You can limit its use for only a couple of layouts/elements should you so decide.
Offers special Blade tags @element, @js, @css, etc.
Whenever you need, override the entire theme or any of its components (css, js, view files) separately in your app.
Command line interface offers one-liners for many complex operations, e.g. "install this theme and use its 'home page' template as my home page".
Templates are built with Blade and around php variables, so in many cases all you need is just to eloquent-pull data into a variable with proper name.
But of course you can easily add custom logic to elements by creating your own class for an element.
Themes can inherit (extend / override) each other.
Miravel leverages Assetic to easily orchestrate asset build pipeline (such as css/js preprocessing, concatenation, minification etc).
And also has tools for creating a very fine-grained asset build for every specific page of your app. Some pages do not need jQuery? No problem, create a jquery-less app.js just for these pages. Miravel automates most of these routines.
Setting a theme as "Global" automatically gives you the error pages and basic email templates that are consistent with the chosen theme/skin.
It is just a Laravel miracle.

Usage

Quick dive into using Miravel with your Laravel project:, _(*4)

Pull in the package

composer require miravel/miravel

Laravel 5.4 or earlier, or Laravel 5.5 without auto-discovery

Below Laravel 5.5, package auto-discover is not available so some extra steps are also necessary:, _(*5)

Add the provider and facade to your config/app.php, _(*6)

'providers' => [
//...
Miravel\ThemeServiceProvider::class,
//...
],

'aliases' => [
//...
'Miravel' => Miravel\Facade::class,
//...
],

Use a template

This line will replace your welcome.blade.php with a template from Miravel's default theme:, _(*7)

php artisan miravel:use default.home-page --as=welcome

And go visit your page in browser to see the change., _(*8)

Use a layout

You can use Miravel's theme layouts as you traditionally do that by extending them inside your blade views:, _(*9)

@extends('miravel::default.one-column')

@section('content')
Awesome stuff here
@endsection

Your awesome stuff will be placed inside the "one-column" layout from the "default" theme., _(*10)

Use an element

Inside your view:, _(*11)

// Assuming "$items" is holding something like this
// [['text' => 'Home', 'url' => '/'], ['text' => 'About Us', 'url' => '/about']]
// this will render the "menu" template from the "default" theme with these items.

@element('default.menu', $items);

Override any layout or element

To start playing with the view file, just copy it from the vendor folder to app/resources/views/vendor/miravel/theme-name., _(*12)

E.g. to override the "fixed" layout from the "default" theme, copy:, _(*13)

vendor/miravel/miravel/resources/themes/default/layouts/fixed/view.blade.php, _(*14)

to, _(*15)

app/resources/vendor/miravel/default/layouts/fixed/view.blade.php, _(*16)

Miravel offer an artisan one-liner for this operation to somewhat shorten your typing:, _(*17)

php artisan miravel:clone default.layouts.fixed.view

or to pull the entire layout (with all styles and scripts), _(*18)

php artisan miravel:clone default.layouts.fixed

to pull the entire theme, _(*19)

php artisan miravel:clone default

You get the idea., _(*20)
