Plutonex Theme

Theme library for Laravel 4., _(*1)

How to install

Add dependency to the Laravel composer.json file, _(*2)

"require": {
        "plutonex/themes": "1.0.*"
    }

and add Service Provider to the app/config/app.php file under array key 'providers', _(*3)

'Plutonex\Themes\ThemesServiceProvider',

You are required to create a 'themes' folder under the public directory of laravel app. For example all your themes should be developed under /public/themes/, _(*4)

Your themes should be basic laravel views inside the themes directory within a directory with theme name. For example, if you want to create a theme called 'myTheme', the layouts of the theme should be within the path /public/themes/myTheme/layouts, _(*5)

Tip

You can create sub directories under your theme folder, like 'partials' to keep parts of the theme file in common and 'assets' folder to keep all your assets., _(*6)

How to use inside Routes

There are many ways to use this library. The easiest way is to set the theme and layout inside a app/routes.php, _(*7)


    Route::get('/', function()
    {
        pxTheme::setTheme('myTheme');
        pxTheme::setLayout('default');

        return View::make('hello');
    });

    Route::group(array('prefix' => 'admin'),function()
    {
        pxTheme::setTheme('adminTheme');
        pxTheme::setLayout('default');

        Route::get('dashboard', function()
        {
            return View::make('admin.dashboard');
        }

        Route::get('users', function()
        {
            pxTheme::setLayout('list');

            return View::make('admin.dashboard');
        }

    });

You can either choose to set theme and layout as shown above or simply bind your URI pattern with theme and layout., _(*8)

 // app/routes.php 

 // Theme::when({pattern},{layout},{theme});

 Theme::when('/','homePage','myTheme');
 Theme::when('/*','default','myTheme');

 Theme::when('admin','default','adminTheme');
 Theme::when('admin/*','appLayout','adminTheme');
