"repositories": [
    {
        "type": "path",
        "url": "packages/yii-blade",
        "options": {
            "versions": {
                "lee-to/yii-blade": "1.x-dev"
            },
            "symlink": true
        }
    }
]

Configuration

Configure the package in your config/params.php:

return [
    'lee-to/yii-blade' => [
        'paths' => [
            'default' => '@views',
            'admin' => '@views/admin',
        ],
        'cache_dir' => 'runtime/cache/blade/views',
        'component_namespaces' => [
            'App\\View\\Components' => 'x',
        ],
        'anonymous_component_namespaces' => [
            '@views/components' => 'x',
        ],
        'directives' => [
            // App\Blade\Directives\MyDirective::class,
        ],
    ],
];

Usage

Create a Blade template in your views directory:

{{-- views/hello.blade.php --}}
<h1>Hello, {{ $name }}!</h1>

@if($showGreeting)
    <p>Welcome to Yii3 with Blade!</p>
@endif

The package automatically registers as a renderer for .blade.php files.

Custom Directives

Create a custom directive by implementing DirectiveInterface:

<?php

namespace App\Blade\Directives;

use Closure;
use Leeto\YiiBlade\DirectiveInterface;
use Leeto\YiiBlade\DirectiveType;

final class DateTimeDirective implements DirectiveInterface
{
    public function getType(): DirectiveType
    {
        return DirectiveType::DEFAULT;
    }

    public function getName(): string
    {
        return 'datetime';
    }

    public function handler(): Closure
    {
        return fn(?string $expression): string => "<?php echo date('Y-m-d H:i:s', $expression); ?>";
    }
}

Register it in params:

'directives' => [
    App\Blade\Directives\DateTimeDirective::class,
],

Use in templates:

@datetime(time())
