Assets

A theme can have its own assets (images, stylesheets, javascript, ...). Theme's specific assets should be stored within themes/themeVendor/themeName/public folder of the theme.

When a theme is activated, this directory is linked (using symbolic link) into public/themes folder of the Laravel application so assets will be available publicly.

By default asset url is generated with a version tag ?v=VERSION_TAG where VERSION_TAG is the hash of asset's file.

Ask the Themes Manager to generate an asset URL:

{!! Theme::asset('css/app.min.css') !!}

// or using helper
{!! theme_asset('css/app.min.css') !!}

This call will return the url of requested asset:

http://localhost/themes/hexadog/default/css/app.min.css

Theme Style

Ask the Themes Manager to generate the stylesheet HTML tag:

{!! Theme::style('css/app.min.css') !!}

// or using helper
{!! theme_style('css/app.min.css') !!}

This call will generate the following code:

<link href="http://localhost/themes/hexadog/default/css/app.min.css">

Theme Script

Ask the Themes Manager to generate the script HTML tag:

{!! Theme::script('js/app.min.js') !!}

// or using helper
{!! theme_script('js/app.min.js') !!}

This call will generate the following code:

<script src="http://localhost/themes/hexadog/default/js/app.min.js"></script>

Theme Image

Ask the Themes Manager to generate the image HTML tag:

{!! Theme::image('img/logo.png', 'My Theme logo') !!}

// or using helper
{!! theme_image('img/logo.png', 'My Theme logo') !!}

This call will generate the following code:

<img src="http://localhost/themes/hexadog/default/img/logo.png" alt="My Theme logo" />
