Installation in 4 steps

Step 1: Install package

Add the package in your composer.json by executing the command.

composer require ksoft/laravel-contentbuilderjs

Next, add the service provider to config/app.php

Ksoft\ContentBuilderJs\BuilderServiceProvider::class,

Step 2: Migrations

This plugin uses couple of tables cbldjs_templates and cbldjs_blocks, run following command to migrate the tables:

php artisan migrate

Step 3: Publish vendors

You can install all the following by running a single command:

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ksoft\ContentBuilderJs\BuilderServiceProvider"

Or you can do each one individualy using the --tag

// Configuration file config/content-builder-js.php
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ksoft\ContentBuilderJs\BuilderServiceProvider" --tag=config
// ContentBuilder.js files must be put in public/vendors/content-builder-js
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ksoft\ContentBuilderJs\BuilderServiceProvider" --tag=public
// Views
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Ksoft\ContentBuilderJs\BuilderServiceProvider" --tag=views

Step 4: Routes and backend menu links

We need to add the rotues to routes/web.php

\Ksoft\ContentBuilderJs\BuilderServiceProvider::routes();

middlewares can be configured trough the config('content-builder-js.middlewares') by default them protected with web,auth

You now will be able to run the plugin but for convenience this are the main routes you need to call to have you running:

<li><a href="{{route('cb_template.list')}}"><i class="fa fa-html5 fa-fw"></i> Template pages</a></li>
<li><a href="{{route('cb_block.list')}}"><i class="fa fa-code fa-fw"></i> Template Blocks</a></li>

Troubleshooting and Configuration tips

Layouts

To fully integrate with your custom layouts define the name of the layout using the config('content-builder-js.middlewares') parameter and add couple of stack to inject the CSS @stack('stylesheets') and for javascripts @stack('scripts')

CSRF Token

By default, the saveimage.js script that comes with Contentbuilder.js does not include the laravel token, to fix this we need to add a token field to this file arround line 50

'<input id="_token" name="_token" type="hidden" value="'+ customval +'" />' +
