Getting started

Installation

composer require astrotomic/stancy
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Sheets\SheetsServiceProvider" --tag=config
mkdir -p ./resources/content/static
mkdir -p ./views/content
mkdir -p ./app/Pages

<?php

return [
    // ...
    'disks' => [
        // ...
        'static' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => resource_path('content/static'),
        ],
    ],
];

This is everything you have to do to prepare your first static sheet/page collection.

Installation

Home

This will be an example for a simple static page - like your home/front page.

touch ./resources/content/static/home.md
touch ./views/content/home.blade.php
touch ./app/Pages/Home.php

These three files will represent your home page. The markdown file will hold the data/content, the view will render it and the PHP class will validate it and provide additional features.

_view: content.static.home
_pageData: \App\Pages\Home

# Home

This is my first awesome Stancy page.

<?php

namespace App\Pages;

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Contracts\Routable;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Models\PageData;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasContent;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasSlug;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasUrl;

class Home extends PageData implements Routable
{
    use PageHasSlug, PageHasContent, PageHasUrl;

    public function getUrl(): string
    {
        return route('static.home');
    }
}

Now you have to add the route to your routes/web.php

<?php

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Facades\PageFactory;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/', function () {
    return PageFactory::makeFromSheetName('static', 'home');
})->name('static.home');

Content

Sitemap

To add your page to the sitemap and return it if someone access /sitemap.xml you have to do the following.

<?php

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Facades\SitemapFactory;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/sitemap.xml', function () {
    return SitemapFactory::makeFromSheetList(['static']);
})->name('sitemap');

This will add all pages in the static collection to your sitemap.

Sitemap

Blog

One of the most common examples for a page collection is a blog. You need an index page and a detail one for every article.

touch ./resources/content/static/blog.md
touch ./views/content/blog.blade.php
touch ./app/Pages/Blog.php

---
_view: static.blog
_pageData: \App\Pages\Blog
_sheets:
    posts: blog:*
---
# Blog

This is my fantastic blog index.

<?php

namespace App\Pages;

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Contracts\Routable;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Models\PageData;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasContent;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasSlug;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasUrl;

class Blog extends PageData implements Routable
{
    use PageHasSlug, PageHasContent, PageHasUrl;

    /** @var \App\Pages\Post[] */
    public $posts;

    public function getUrl(): string
    {
        return route('static.blog');
    }
}

@extends('master')

@section('content')
    <div class="row">
        @foreach(collect($posts)->sortByDesc('date') as $post)
            <div class="col-12 col-md-4 col-xl-3">
                <div class="card">
                    <img src="{{ url($post->image) }}" class="card-img-top">
                    <div class="card-body">
                        <h3 class="card-title">{{ $post->title }}</h3>
                        <div><small>{{ $post->date->format('Y-m-d H:i') }}</small></div>
                        <div class="card-text mb-3">{!! Illuminate\Support\Str::words(strip_tags($post->contents), 20) !!}</div>
                        <a href="{{ $post->getUrl() }}" class="btn btn-primary">open post</a>
                    </div>
                </div>
            </div>
        @endforeach
    </div>
@endsection

Before you can test this we will have to add our first post to the blog collection.

mkdir -p ./resources/content/blog

<?php

return [
    // ...
    'disks' => [
        // ...
        'blog' => [
            'driver' => 'local',
            'root' => resource_path('content/blog'),
        ],
    ],
];

touch ./resources/content/blog/first-post.md
touch ./views/content/post.blade.php
touch ./app/Pages/Post.php

---
_view: blog.post
_pageData: \App\Pages\Post
title: my first post

<?php

namespace App\Pages;

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Contracts\Routable;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Models\PageData;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasContent;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasDate;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasSlug;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Traits\PageHasUrl;
use Carbon\Carbon;

class Post extends PageData implements Routable
{
    use PageHasSlug, PageHasContent, PageHasDate, PageHasUrl;

    /** @var string */
    public $title;

    /** @var string */
    public $image;

    public function __construct(array $parameters)
    {
        if (isset($parameters['date']) && is_string($parameters['date'])) {
            $parameters['date'] = Carbon::make($parameters['date']);
        }

        parent::__construct($parameters);
    }

    public function getUrl(): string
    {
        return route('blog.post', ['slug' => $this->slug]);
    }
}

<?php

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Facades\PageFactory;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::get('/blog/{slug}', function (string $slug) {
    return PageFactory::makeFromSheetName('blog', $slug);
})->name('blog.post');

Route::get('/sitemap.xml', function () {
    return SitemapFactory::makeFromSheetList([
        'static',
        'blog', // added
    ]);
});

Now you are done. If you want to add a new post just add a new markdown file to the blog collection and fill all required data.

Feed

After you now have your first collection of same type pages (blog) it's useful to put them in a feed and link it in your HTML.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Spatie\Feed\FeedServiceProvider" --tag=config

<?php

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Contracts\FeedFactory;

return [
    'feeds' => [
        'blog.atom' => [
            'items' => [FeedFactory::class.'@makeFromSheetCollectionName', 'blog'],
            'url' => 'feed/blog.atom',
            'title' => 'Stancy Blog Feed',
            'description' => 'This is the Stancy Laravel demo blog feed.',
            'language' => 'en-US',
            'view' => 'feed::atom',
            'type' => 'application/atom+xml',
        ],
        'blog.rss' => [
            'items' => [FeedFactory::class.'@makeFromSheetCollectionName', 'blog'],
            'url' => 'feed/blog.rss',
            'title' => 'Blog Feed',
            'description' => 'This is the Stancy Laravel demo blog feed.',
            'language' => 'en-US',
            'view' => 'feed::rss',
            'type' => 'application/rss+xml',
        ],
    ],
];

Now you have to prepare the \App\Pages\Post page data class.

<?php

namespace App\Pages;

use Astrotomic\Stancy\Contracts\Routable;
use Astrotomic\Stancy\Models\PageData;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Spatie\Feed\FeedItem;

class Post extends PageData implements Routable
{
    // ...

    public function toFeedItem(): FeedItem
    {
        return FeedItem::create()
            ->id($this->slug)
            ->link($this->getUrl())
            ->title($this->title)
            ->author('Gummibeer, [email protected]')
            ->updated($this->date)
            ->summary(Str::words(strip_tags($this->contents), 50, ''));
    }

    // ...
}

And you are done. You will have two feeds (RSS and Atom) now. If you only want one just remove the other one from the config.

Feed Atom/RSS

Congratulations! 🎉 You have your first Stancy setup and are ready to go. 🚀
