Brings Laravel's great template engine, Blade, to Wordpress. Just install and start using blade in your theme.
== Description ==
Note that the plugin is in beta and changes made in the future could result in your current code no longer working.
Blade is the templae engine for Laravel, a very popular php framework, developed by Taylor Otwell. This plugin brings the same template engine to wordpress.
Using a template engine will result in much cleaner template files and quicker development. Normal php can still be used in the template files.
The plugin also adds a wordpress specific snippet to blade. Check out the examples for more info.

{{the_post_thumbnail() }}
@else
 . '/images/thumbnail-default.jpg}})
@endif`
= the loop =
`
'post') ); ?>
have_posts() ) : ?>

`

= Including files =
Files included with functions, e.g. the_header(), will not be compiled by Blade, however the php code in the file is still executed.
To include a file use:
`@include('header')`
Note that you should not type “.php”.
You can also use layouts.
master.php:
`
@yield('content')
`
page.php:
`@layout('master')
@section('content')
Lorem ipsum
@endsection`
