DevDojo Themes Package

This is a package that will add theme support in your Laravel application

Adding Themes

The themes package will look inside of the resources/themes folder for any folder that has a .json file inside of it with the same name. (You can change the theme folder location in the config)

As an example if you have a folder called sample-theme and inside that folder you have another file called sample-theme.json with the following contents:

{
    "name": "Sample Theme",
    "version": "1.0"
}

This package will detect this as a new theme. You can also include a sample screenshot of your theme, which would be sample-theme.jpg (800x500px) for best results

In fact, you can checkout the sample-theme repo here: https://github.com/thedevdojo/sample-theme

You can activate this theme by setting the active column to 1 for that specific theme. Then use it like:

return view('theme::welcome')

This will then look in the current active theme folder for a new view called welcome.blade.php :D

Theme Configs

You may choose to publish a config to your project by running:

php artisan vendor:publish

You will want to publish the themes config, and you will now see a new config located at config/themes.php, which will look like the following:

<?php

return [

    'folder' => resource_path('themes'),
    'publish_assets' => true,
    'create_tables' => true

];

Now, you can choose an alternate location for your themes folder. By default this will be put into the resources folder; however, you can change that to any location you would like.

Warning, If you add the themes folder into the resources/views folder and you run php artisan optimize you may get an error that it cannot find certain components. This is because it will search all the .blade.php files inside the views folder. So, this may not be the best place to put your themes. Instead this package will register only the views of the active theme.

Additionally, you can set publish_assets to true or false, if it is set to true anytime the themes directory is scanned it will publish the assets folder in your theme to the public folder inside a new themes folder. Set this to false and this will no longer happen.
