Dynamically change Laravel views based on the visitor's device.

Installation

Composer

From the command line run:

composer require torann/device-view

Setup

This package extends Laravel's built in ViewServiceProvider, so that provider must be replaced in app/app.php. Replace the instance of 'Illuminate\View\ViewServiceProvider', with 'Torann\DeviceView\DeviceViewServiceProvider',.

Publish the configurations

Run this on the command line from the root of your project:

$ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Torann\DeviceView\DeviceViewServiceProvider"

A configuration file will be publish to config/device-view.php.

Configuration

The default settings are for the device views to be in the views directory in resources/ with the default theme called default.

resources/
    views/
        default/
        mobile/
        tablet/

Usage

A standard call to View::make('index') will look for an index view in resources/views/default/. However, if a theme is specified with $app['view.finder']->setDeviceView('mobile'); prior to calling View::make() then the view will first be looked for in resources/views/mobile/views. If the view is not found for the current theme the default theme will then be searched.

Facade

The DeviceView facade can also be used if preferred DeviceView::setDeviceView('mobile') by adding an entry for Torann\DeviceView\Facades\DeviceView to config/app.php.

Helper Methods

DeviceView::getPlatform()

Return the user's operating system.

Example

Given a directory structure of:

resources/
    views/
        default/
            layout.blade.php
            admin.blade.php
        mobile/
            layout.blade.php
View::make('layout'); // Loads resources/views/default/layout.blade.php

$app['view.finder']->setDeviceView('default');

View::make('layout'); // Loads resources/views/mobile/layout.blade.php
View::make('admin'); // Loads resources/views/default/admin.blade.php
