README

A Laravel driver for the powerful native PHP templating system Plates.

Installation with Composer

Step 1: Install package through Composer

Add this line to the require section of your composer.json:

"franzl/laravel-plates": "dev-master"

Alternately, you can use the Composer command-line tool by running this command:

composer require franzl/laravel-plates

Next, run composer install to actually install the package.

Step 2: Register the service provider

In your Laravel application, edit the app/config/app.php file and add this line to the providers array:

'Franzl\LaravelPlates\LaravelPlatesServiceProvider',

Usage

Once installed, you can use Laravel's view system as you always do. Files ending in .plates.php will automatically be treated as Plates templates. As long as you don't try to combine things like Blade layouts and Plates' partial views, everything should go well.
