Slimdown

PLEASE NOTE: This library is deprecated and no longer supported.

Slimdown is a simple library to allow you to easily add static pages to your app via a folder full of Markdown files.

Justin Heideman conceived and built the original version.

Installation

Add this library to your application's composer.json:

{
    "require": {
        "apmg/slimdown": "*"
    }
}

And then execute:

$ composer update

Usage

To add to your app, in the method that handles the static pages, add code to load the page.

class SlimdownController extends ApplicationController {
  public function show() {
    $page = \Slimdown\Page::find($params['slug']);
  }
}

Then add a view for the show action.

{$page->body}

Add a globbing route to direct all unhandled requests to your controller. Make sure that it doesn't supersede other routes.

Finally, add configuration to set the path to your pages. This could be done as part of a bootstrapping routine.

\Slimdown\Slimdown::config(function($config){
  $config->set_location('lib/pages');
});

General notes

The use case for us is that we have a distinct repo containing the markdown (and some other files) which is editable by producers. This is autodeployed to a location on our servers which is accessible from our PHP app.

Development

After checking out the repo, run composer install to install dependencies.
