// or

// or you can also call like as multi dimension
$themeName = $themeInfo['changelog']['versions'];

assets

For binding theme assets you can use the assets method:

Theme::assets('your_asset_path'); // return string

It’s generated at BASE_URL/theme_roots/your_active_theme_name/assets/your_asset_path

If your_asset_path does not exist then it’s find to active theme immediate parent assets folder. Look like BASE_URL/theme_roots/your_active_theme_parent_name/assets/your_asset_path

When using helper you can also get assets path:

themes('your_asset_path'); // return string

If you want to bind specific theme assets:

Theme::assets('your_theme_name:your_asset_path'); // return string
// or 
themes('your_theme_name:your_asset_path'); // return string

Suppose you want to bind app.css in your blade. Then below code can be applicable:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ themes('app.css') }}">

Specific theme assets:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ themes('your_theme_name:app.css') }}">

The lang method translates the given language line using your current theme localization files:

echo Theme::lang('content.title'); // return string
// or
echo lang('content.title'); // return string

also support

echo Theme::lang('content.title', [your replace array], 'your desire locale'); // return string
// or

echo Theme::lang('your_theme_name::your_asset_path'); // return string
// or 
echo lang('your_theme_name::your_asset_path'); // return string

How to use in Route

Route::get('/', function () {
    Theme::set('your_theme_name');
    return view('welcome');
});

This will firstly check if there is a welcome.blade.php in current theme directory. If none is found then it checks parent theme, and finally falls back to default Laravel views location.

If you want to specific theme view:

Route::get('/', function () {
    Theme::set('your_theme_name');
    return view('your_theme_name::welcome');
});

Set theme using route middleware

A helper middleware is included out of the box if you want to define a theme per route. To use it:

First register it in app\Http\Kernel.php:

protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // ...
    'theme' => \Shipu\Themevel\Middleware\RouteMiddleware::class,
];

Now you can apply the middleware to a route or route-group. Eg:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'admin', 'middleware'=>'theme:Your_theme_name'], function() {
    // ... Add your routes here 
    // The Your_theme_name will be applied.
});

Set theme using web middleware

A helper middleware is included out of the box if you want to define a theme per route. To use it:

First register it in app\Http\Kernel.php:

protected $middlewareGroups = [
    'web' => [
        // ...
        \Shipu\Themevel\Middleware\WebMiddleware::class,
    ],
    // ...
];

Theme set from config/theme.php .

Then in your controller you can call your view as you would normally do:


return view('home');  // This will load the home.blade.php from the the folder you set in your `config/theme.php`

Dependency Injection

You can also inject theme instance using ThemeContract, eg:

use Shipu\Themevel\Contracts\ThemeContract;

private $theme;

public function __construct(ThemeContract $theme)
{
    $this->theme = $theme
}

Troubleshooting

Clear config after runing vendor publish (see Config section) to save issues related to config caching by running:

php artisan config:cache

php artisan config:clear
