Blade

Beschreibung

Blade is the template engine for Laravel, a very popular php framework, developed by Taylor Otwell. This plugin brings the same template engine to wordpress.
Using a template engine will result in much cleaner template files and quicker development. Normal php can still be used in the template files.
The plugin also adds a wordpress specific snippet to blade. Check out the examples for more info.

echo/print

{{$foo}}

Turns into…

if()

@if(has_post_thumbnail())
    {{the_post_thumbnail() }}
@else 
    <img src="{{bloginfo( 'template_url' )}}/images/thumbnail-default.jpg" />
@endif

Turns into…

<img src="/images/thumbnail-default.jpg“ />

the loop

@wpposts
    <a href="{{the_permalink()}}">{{the_title()}}</a><br>
@wpempty
    <p>404</p>
@wpend

Turns into…

<a href="“>

404

wordpress query

<ul>
@wpquery(array('post_type' => 'post'))
    <li><a href="{{the_permalink()}}">{{the_title()}}</a></li>
@wpempty
    <li>{{ __('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.') }}</li>
@wpend
</ul>

Turns into….

‚post‘) ); ?>
have_posts() ) : ?>
have_posts() ) : $query->the_post(); ?>
• <a href="“>

Advanced Custom Fields

<ul>
    @acfrepeater('images')
        <li>{{ get_sub_field( 'image' ) }}</li>
    @acfend
</ul>

Turns into…

• <img src="“ />

Including other templates

To include a file with blade use:
@include(‚header‘)
Note that you should not type “.php”. Files included with functions, e.g. the_header(), will not be compiled by Blade, however the php code in the file is still executed.

Layout

master.php:

@yield(‚content‘)

page.php:
@layout(‚master‘)

@section('content')
    <p>Lorem ipsum</p>
@endsection
