vim-blade

Vim syntax highlighting for Blade templates (Laravel 4+).

This plugin contributes to vim-polyglot language pack.

Note: This plugin was forked from jwalton512's plugin to provide modern Laravel functionality. Massive thanks go to jwalton512 for creating and supporting this plugin for so long.

Installation

Using vim-plug vim-plug.

Plug 'alexandersix/vim-blade'

Using pathogen pathogen.vim.

cd ~/.vim/bundle
git clone git://github.com/alexandersix/vim-blade.git

Configuration

Because Blade allows you to define your own directives, you can let the plugin know about them through some variables. Examples:

" Define some single Blade directives. This variable is used for highlighting only.
let g:blade_custom_directives = ['datetime', 'javascript']

" Define pairs of Blade directives. This variable is used for highlighting and indentation.
let g:blade_custom_directives_pairs = {
      \   'markdown': 'endmarkdown',
      \   'cache': 'endcache',
      \ }

Troubleshooting

I've installed the plugin, but my files aren't formatting correctly!

If you have installed vim-blade as a standalone plugin instead of as a part of the vim-polyglot bundle, then you may need to include the following Lua snippet in your Vim configuration somewhere that will be run on load. This snippet sets up a group to change the filetype of Blade files to specifically "blade" when the buffer is read.

vim.cmd [[
    augroup blade_settings
      autocmd!
      autocmd BufRead,BufNewFile *.blade.php set filetype=blade
    augroup end
  ]]
