This package provides a blogging-focused starting template for the Prezet Markdown Blogging Engine [1]. It sets up routes, controllers, views, CSS, and content structure suitable for a blog site.
The installer copies the necessary files into your Laravel application and then removes this package, leaving you with the template files to modify as needed.
-
Require the package:
composer require prezet/blog-template --dev
(Note: We install as a dev dependency since the package removes itself after installation).
-
Run the installer:
php artisan blog-template:install
This command will:
- Copy routes, controllers, views, CSS, content stubs, and Vite configuration into your application.
- Install required Node dependencies (
tailwindcss,alpinejs, etc.). - Remove the
prezet/blog-templatepackage from your Composer dependencies.
The blog-template:install command will add or modify the following files and directories within your Laravel application:
