Installation

Add Presenter to your composer.json file:

"require": {
    "pascal/laravel-presenter": "~1.0"
}

Now, run a composer update on the command line from the root of your project:

composer update

Registering the Package

Include the service provider within app/config/app.php. The service povider is needed for the generator artisan command.

'providers' => [
    ...
    'Pascal\Presenter\PresenterServiceProvider'
    ...
];

Usage

First, generate a presenter

php artisan make:presenter [presenter name]

Here's an example of a presenter.

use Pascal\Presenter\Presenter;

class UserPresenter extends Presenter {

    public function name()
    {
        return $this->first_name . ' ' . $this->last_name;
    }

    public function joined()
    {
        return $this->created_at->diffForHumans();
    }

}

Next, on your entity, pull in the Pascal\Presenter\Presentable trait, which will instantiate the presenter class automaticly for you.

use Pascal\Presenter\Presentable;

class User extends Eloquent {

    use Presentable;

    protected $presenter = 'App\UserPresenter';

}

And that is all you have to do. Now you can do the following:

<p>Hi, {{ $user->present()->name }}</p>
