Blog

A simple and random markdown-powered package for Laravel

Installation

Add the following to composer.json

{
    "require": {
        "kennedy/random-blog-package": "dev-master"
    },
    "repositories": {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "https://github.com/kennedy/random-blog-package"
    }
}

Then run composer update in the terminal at the root folder of the application.

Migration

To run migrations, do: php artisan migrate

Publish package config

Publish the package assets, run: php artisan vendor:publish --tag=blog

A default config file for the package will now be created and located at config/blog.php

Create directory to hold posts

The last step for installation is to create a directory for your markdown files that the package will turn into a blog post. By default, the directory used by the package is storage/app/blogs (where the blog directory has already been created). This path can be change in the config/blog.php file.

Sample Post

Here is a sample markdown file that can be converted to a post:

---
title: Any Title
description: Any random description works here
---

# Any Heading

Hello People...
