Before using this plugin, make sure you have installed and activated a theme built on Sage 9. While in theory this plugin could be modified to work with other blade-based WordPress systems, it is currently only designed to work with Sage 9.
Note: Sage 10 will make heavy use of the Acorn project, which looks to provide this functionality internally (take a look at the ViewCacheCommand.php and ViewClearCommand.php files here). Consequently, I do not currently intend to update this plugin to work with Sage 10, unless the Acorn functionality that it would replicate is removed or proves otherwise problematic.
The primary function of this plugin is to compile Blades on demand.
wp blade compile
This will iterate through all .blade.php files in your theme directory and generate compiled versions.
If you only want to compile some of your templates, you can specify a directory using the directory parameter:
wp blade compile --directory=path/to/files
The directory is relative to your theme root.
Sometimes you want to clear out your Blade cache! This plugin can help you do that too.
wp blade clear
This will look at all your Blades and remove their cached versions. It will only remove cached files for existing Blades; it will not clear out everything in your Blade cache directory.
It takes the same --directory argument as compile, and will only remove cached files for those Blades in the passed directory. For instance, if you pass:
wp blade clear --directory=path/to/files
Then only the cached versions of files in path/to/files will be deleted.
If you want to clear out your entire cache (i.e. you have removed a Blade template), then use wipe.
wp blade wipe
This function takes no arguments, and simply removes every file it finds in your Blade cache. It determines where the cache is by calling Sage's App\config('view.compiled');
Installing this package requires WP-CLI v1.1.0 or greater. Update to the latest stable release with wp cli update.
Currently WP-CLI is not accepting new package submissions, but you can install this package directly from github with the following command: wp package install git@github.com:alwaysblank/blade-generate.git.
