Laravel Jade Templating Engine

This is my first Laravel package for my friend's Final Year Project,hope you like it.

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

composer.json

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

Run the command composer update in terminal

bash

composer update

after that in app/config/app.php add 'Man\Jade\JadeServiceProvider' to 'providers' and 'Jade' => 'Man\Jade\Jade' to alias

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

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.

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>

Error Reporting

If you make mistake on your jade file,it will output error. ####example

   command:
   '/usr/bin/jade' < '/opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel/app/jade/index.jade' --path /opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel/app/jade/d --obj '{"some":"params"}'

   params:{
       "some": "params"
   }

   Issue:
   /usr/lib/node_modules/jade/lib/runtime.js:202
     throw err;
           ^
   Error: /opt/lampp/htdocs/laravel/app/jade/d:1
     > 1| !!!

   `!!!` is deprecated, you must now use `doctype`

       at ReadStream.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:117:20)

Customisation

change vendor/Man/Jade/Jade.php,you can edit the jade binary location and the app/jade folder to display the view

Jade.php

$jade_bin = "/usr/bin/jade"; // if you don't know what it is type `which jade` in your terminal
$jade_tpl_path = app_path() . '/jade/'; //enter your template path here,defaulted for laravel at app/jade/
