Installation

Install the package via Composer:

];

Step 2: Publish Configuration

Run this command to publish the configuration file:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=LaravelSetupLayout --force

Step 4: assets config/layout-assets.php

<?php

return [
     
     #THEME_VENDORS <x-web-app-layout> Define web assets for different pages
     'THEME_WEB_ASSETS' => [
          'home' => [
               // CSS files for the home page
               'css' => [
                    'assets/css/demo.css',
               ],
               // JavaScript files for the home page
               'js'  => [
                    'assets/js/demo.js',
               ],
          ],
          // You can add more as per your requirement
     ],


     #THEME_ASSETS <x-app-layout>  Define global assets used across all pages
     'THEME_ASSETS' => [
          'global'  => [
               // Global CSS files, such as Bootstrap
               'css' => [
                    'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css',
                    // You can add more global CSS files here
               ],
               // Global JavaScript files, such as Bootstrap JS
               'js'  => [
                    'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/bootstrap@5.3.3/dist/js/bootstrap.bundle.min.js',
                    // You can add more global JavaScript files here
               ],
          ],
     ],

     #THEME_VENDORS <x-app-layout> Define vendor assets specific to certain pages or components
     'THEME_VENDORS' => [
          'demo' => [
               // CSS files for the login page or component
               'css' => [
                    'assets/css/demo.css',
               ],
               // JavaScript files for the login page or component
               'js'  => [
                    'assets/js/demo.js',
               ],
          ],
          // You can add more as per your requirement
     ],
];

Step 4: Usage 🤔

Create a Controller

Generate a basic controller:

php artisan make:controller HomeController

Create a View

Create a view for your application:

php artisan make:view home

This will create home.blade.php in resources/views.

Subdirectory Controller

To create a controller in a subfolder, use:

php artisan make:controller Dashboard/HomeController

This creates HomeController under app/Http/Controllers/Dashboard.

Subdirectory View

For views in subdirectories:

php artisan make:view dashboard.home

Creates home.blade.php in resources/views/dashboard.

Step 4: Define Routes

Home Route:

Route::get('/', [App\Http\Controllers\HomeController::class, 'index']);

Dashboard Route:

Route::get('/dashboard', [App\Http\Controllers\Dashboard\HomeController::class, 'dashboard']);

Ensure you have matching controller methods, like so:

// HomeController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        addWebAsset(['home']);
        return view('home');
    }
}

// Dashboard/HomeController.php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Dashboard;

class HomeController extends Controller
{
    public function dashboard()
    {
        addVendors(['demo']);
        return view('dashboard.home');
    }
}

Step 5: Use Layout Components

Add the layout components in your Blade files:

Home Layout (Front-End)

<!-- resources/views/home.blade.php -->
<x-web-app-layout>
    <h1>Welcome to the Front-End 👋</h1>
</x-web-app-layout>

Dashboard Layout

<!-- resources/views/dashboard/home.blade.php -->
<x-app-layout>
    <h1>Welcome to the Dashboard 👋</h1>
</x-app-layout>

Blade Directives for Scripts and Styles

To include page-specific styles and scripts:

<!-- resources/views/home.blade.php -->
@push('page_styles')
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="path/to/home-styles.css">
@endpush

@push('page_scripts')
    <script src="path/to/home-scripts.js"></script>
@endpush

Page Title Setup

To set the page title dynamically:

// HomeController.php
public function index()
{
    addWebAsset(['home', 'jq']);
    $data['title'] = 'Home Page';
    return view('home', $data);
}

And in your view:

<!-- resources/views/home.blade.php -->
<x-web-app-layout>
    @section('title', $title)
    <h1>Welcome to the Home Page 👋</h1>
</x-web-app-layout>
