InMemoryPage extends HydePage
in package

Extendable class for in-memory (or virtual) Hyde pages that are not based on any source files.

When used in a package, it's on the package developer to ensure that the virtual page is registered with Hyde, usually within the boot method of the package's service provider, or a page collection callback in an extension. This is because these pages cannot be discovered by the auto discovery process as there's no source files to parse.

This class is especially useful for one-off custom pages. But if your usage grows, or if you want to utilize Hyde autodiscovery, you may benefit from creating a custom page class instead, as that will give you full control.

Methods

__call()

Dynamically handle macro calls to the class.

public __call(string $method, array<string|int, mixed> $parameters) : mixed
Parameters
$method : string
$parameters : array<string|int, mixed>

__construct()

Create a new in-memory/virtual page instance.

public __construct([string $identifier = '' ][, FrontMatter|array<string|int, mixed> $matter = [] ][, string $contents = '' ][, string $view = '' ]) : mixed

The in-memory page class offers two content options. You can either pass a string to the $contents parameter, Hyde will then save that literally as the page's contents. Alternatively, you can pass a view name to the $view parameter, and Hyde will use that view to render the page contents with the supplied front matter during the static site build process.

Note that $contents take precedence over $view, so if you pass both, only $contents will be used. You can also register a macro with the name 'compile' to overload the default compile method.

Parameters
$identifier : string = ''

The identifier of the page. This is used to generate the route key which is used to create the output filename. If the identifier for an in-memory page is "foo/bar" the page will be saved to "_site/foo/bar.html". You can then also use the route helper to get a link to it by using the route key "foo/bar". Take note that the identifier must be unique to prevent overwriting other pages.

$matter : FrontMatter|array<string|int, mixed> = []

The front matter of the page. When using the Blade view rendering option, all this data will be passed to the view rendering engine.

$contents : string = ''

The contents of the page. This will be saved as-is to the output file.

$view : string = ''

The view key or Blade file for the view to use to render the page contents.

arraySerialize()

Recursively serialize Arrayables

public arraySerialize() : array<string|int, mixed>
Return values
array<string|int, mixed>

baseRouteKey()

Get the route key base for the page model.

public static baseRouteKey() : string

This is the same value as the output directory.

Return values
string

compile()

Get the contents that will be saved to disk for this page.

public compile() : string

In order to make your virtual page easy to use we provide a few options for how the page can be compiled. If you want even more control, you can register a macro with the name 'compile' to overload the method, or simply extend the class and override the method yourself, either in a standard or anonymous class.

Return values
string

The compiled HTML for the page.

data()

Get a value from the computed page data, or fallback to the page's front matter, then to the default value.

public data([string $key = null ][, mixed $default = null ]) : FrontMatter|mixed
Parameters
$key : string = null
$default : mixed = null
Return values
FrontMatter|mixed

fileExtension()

Get the file extension of the source files for the page type.

public static fileExtension() : string
Return values
string

files()

Get an array of all the source file identifiers for the model.

public static files() : array<string|int, string>

Note that the values do not include the source directory or file extension.

Return values
array<string|int, string>

get()

Get a page instance from the Kernel's page index by its identifier.

public static get(string $identifier) : static
Parameters
$identifier : string
Tags
throws
FileNotFoundException

If the page does not exist.

Return values
static

getBladeView()

Get the view key or Blade file for the view to use to render the page contents when this strategy is used.

public getBladeView() : string
Return values
string

getCanonicalUrl()

public getCanonicalUrl() : string|null
Return values
string|null

getContents()

Get the contents of the page. This will be saved as-is to the output file when this strategy is used.

public getContents() : string
Return values
string

getIdentifier()

Get the page model's identifier property.

public getIdentifier() : string

The identifier is the part between the source directory and the file extension. It may also be known as a 'slug', or previously 'basename', but it retains the nested path structure if the page is stored in a subdirectory.

For example, the identifier of a source file stored as '_pages/about/contact.md' would be 'about/contact', and 'pages/about.md' would simply be 'about'.

Return values
string

Format the page instance to a URL path, with support for pretty URLs if enabled.

public getLink() : string

Note that the link is always relative to site root, and does not contain ../ segments.

Return values
string

getOutputPath()

Get the path where the compiled page will be saved.

public getOutputPath() : string
Return values
string

Path relative to the site output directory.

getRoute()

Get the route object for the page.

public getRoute() : Route
Return values
Route

getRouteKey()

Get the route key for the page.

public getRouteKey() : string

The route key is the page URL path, relative to the site root, but without any file extensions. For example, if the page will be saved to _site/docs/index.html, the key is docs/index.

Route keys are used to identify page routes, similar to how named routes work in Laravel, only that here the name is not just arbitrary, but also defines the output location, as the route key is used to determine the output path which is $routeKey.html.

Return values
string

getSourcePath()

Get the path to the instance source file, relative to the project root.

public getSourcePath() : string
Return values
string

has()

See if a value exists in the computed page data or the front matter.

bool
