Installation

composer require labrodev/laravel-markdownable

The service provider is registered automatically.

Configuration

The package uses config('site.content.paths.pages') by default for the pages directory. To override, publish the config or set MARKDOWNABLE_PAGES_PATH in your .env.

php artisan vendor:publish --tag=markdownable-config

Usage

use Labrodev\Markdownable\Facades\Markdownable;

$page = Markdownable::getPageBySlug('about');
if ($page !== null) {
    $page->title;       // string
    $page->bodyHtml;    // string (HTML)
    $page->toArray();   // array for Blade/SEO (slug, title, meta_title, meta_description, og_image, sitemap, canonical, body, body_html)
}

Use PageData::toArray() when passing to Blade or SEO so keys match the usual array shape (meta_title, meta_description, og_image, body_html, etc.).
