Blade Component Registration

[sitesurfer]

Thanks for this - it's really helpful, and I've purchased the accompanying video course.

What I am trying to establish is the correct way to place blade components into the service provider as the video is out of sync with the skeleton class now.

I have seen a discussion where there is some question raised about the correct path for the components files, in order to be able to use something like x-package::component - i simply can not get the classes to register.

To avoid wasting precious code time - what is the correct path for component classes - and should they have the namespace of what is intended or what is correct at the time of creation? (Ie: if the directory is in the root of the package and not in src).

Hi,

Thanks for have bought the course. The skeleton is indeed a bit out of sync, as the course is now 2 years old, but we still are improving the skeleton everyday. We'll record a new version of the course soon.

Here's a good example of how we go about registering view component in a package

https://github.com/spatie/laravel-support-bubble/blob/2dc9d017baa973923b531e2083f91e727331aa1a/src/SupportBubbleServiceProvider.php#L30-L31

How this helps!

Aha! Thanks for this, so in essence, you are not using the hasViewComponents() method which is what I am finding to be the issue.
I will try the package booted and hopefully all will be well.

[sitesurfer]

Yep, this worked.
For the benefit of anyone else - i did this within package booted:

Blade::componentNamespace('MyNamespace\Components','prefix');

This picked up all the components which I can then address in the normal way, x-prefix::component
I appreciate that this is old news to most, but its contrary to the docs which declare the use of the method hasViewComponents()

I agree @sitesurfer , the docs need to be updated about this

@sawirricardo If you need this fast, feel free to submit a PR

[sitesurfer]

Thanks both, I am happy to have a go at the PR if it saves anyone else going through the mangle.

Hi @freekmurze , thanks for the package. I also stumbled into this issue for like an hour. I think it's best to note in the readme about how to register the blade components as I think, everyone will use the hasViewComponents()

[sitesurfer]

@freekmurze I'd submit a PR if I knew how to advise about this, the new video course is excellent, but I again fell over this issue having had some time away. The docs for the skeleton still advise using hasViewComponents() and the code suggests an array is fine for this - but I get a type error when using that.

such as this:

->hasViewComponents('smengine',[ SearchTop::class, EditButton::class ])
