Installation

To install through composer, simply put the following in your composer.json file:

{
    "require": {
        "orchestra/facile": "~3.0"
    }
}

And then run composer install from the terminal.

Quick Installation

Above installation can also be simplify by using the following command:

composer require "orchestra/facile=~3.0"

Configuration

Next add the service provider in config/app.php.

'providers' => [

    // ...

    Orchestra\Facile\FacileServiceProvider::class,
],

Aliases

You might want to add Orchestra\Support\Facades\Facile to class aliases in config/app.php:

'aliases' => [

    // ...

    'Facile' => Orchestra\Support\Facades\Facile::class,
],

Usage

Facile component works by composing the response using template, using the Orchestra\Facile\FacileServiceProvider, we setup the default template for normal usage which can compose HTML, CSV and JSON response (resolved via Orchestra\Facile\Template\Simple).

Route::get('users', function () {
    $users = User::all();

    return Facile::view('users')->with(compact('users'));
});

Based on above example, the response will be generated via Orchestra\Facile\Template\Simple::composeHtml() method and use resources/views/users.blade.php when you hit /users. Otherwise it would use Orchestra\Facile\Template\Simple::composeJson() when you hit /users with Accept: application/json request header.

Facile is also smart enough to handle content negotiation accept header.
