Parsedown for Laravel

This package is a Laravel wrapper around Parsedown. If you want to know more about Parsedown alone check out our base repository.

Features

• Blade Directive
• Configuration File
• Helper Function

Installation

Parsedown for Laravel is available as a Composer package. You can install it using the command below:

composer require parsedown/laravel

Configuration

If you're using Laravel +5.5 you don't need to follow the steps below. The package auto-discovery feature has been implemented and will take care of loading the service provider for you.

But if that's not your case you will need to add the service provider to your config/app.php file:

return [
    // Other configurations above...

    'providers' => [
        // Other providers above...
        Parsedown\Providers\ParsedownServiceProvider::class,
        // Other providers below...
    ],

    // Other configurations below...
];

This package uses the Parsedown\Providers\ParsedownServiceProvider service provider to create a singleton of Parsedown. That's stored it in a container called parsedown. It uses the following options to set the default behavior for that instance:

Name	Description	Default
breaks_enabled	Converts line breaks such as \n into <br /> tags.	false
inline	Enables inline parsing for the parsedown() helper and the @parsedown directive by default.	false
markup_escaped	Escapes HTML in trusted input. Redundant if safe_mode is enabled.	false
safe_mode	Doesn't process untrusted user-input.	true
urls_linked	Automatically converts URLs into anchor tags.	true

You can overwrite these values by publishing the config/parsedown.php file with the following command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Parsedown\Providers\ParsedownServiceProvider"

Usage

The snippets below show how you can easily use Parsedown in your *.blade.php files:

@parsedown('Hello _Parsedown_!')

...or (using the helper approach)

{{ parsedown('Hello _Parsedown_!') }}

Any of the code above will generate:

<p>Hello <em>Parsedown</em>!</p>

If you want to parse a value using the inline style you just need to set the second argument as true:

@parsedown('Hello _Parsedown_!', true)

...or (using the helper approach)

{{ parsedown('Hello _Parsedown_!', true) }}

Any of the code above will generate:

Hello <em>Parsedown</em>!

The helper is globally available and can also be used with PHP code throughout your project.

Lumen Support

Laravel and Lumen pretty much share the same core code. The instructions below should be enough to set this package for your Lumen project.

Enable Facades in Your Project

Ensure you have the following in your bootstrap/app.php file:

$app->withFacades();

Service Provider Registering

As Lumen does not support package auto-discovery you got to do it manually adding the code below in your bootstrap/app.php file:

$app->register(Parsedown\Providers\ParsedownServiceProvider::class);
