Syntax Highlighting for Laravel Blade Template Engine in Sublime Text 2

Question

In Sublime Text 2, what steps do I need to take to get Syntax Highlighting for the Laravel Blade Template Engine to work?

As described in http://daylerees.com/2012/04/06/notable-blade-syntax-support-by-medalink/, I took https://github.com/Medalink/Laravel-Blade, unzipped it and copied the folder into Sublime's packages folder.

However, it doesn't seem to work (see screenshot), even if I set it manually using Tools\Command Palette...\Set Syntax: Blade

Is this only meant to work with particular Color Schemes (if so, which ones), or what am I missing? (I just started using Sublime Text today)

Solution 1

The easiest way to install plugins for Sublime Text 2 is through Package Control.

To install Package Control:

Installation is through the Sublime Text 2 console. This is accessed via the ctrl+` shortcut. Once open, paste the following command into the console:

import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp=sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs(ipp) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener(urllib2.build_opener(urllib2.ProxyHandler())); open(os.path.join(ipp,pf),'wb').write(urllib2.urlopen('http://sublime.wbond.net/'+pf.replace(' ','%20')).read()); print 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation'
This command creates the Installed Packages folder for you (if necessary), and then downloads the Package Control.sublime-package into it.

When you have Package Control installed all you need to do to install the Blade syntax highlighter is to:

1. Open the command palette and type "install package"
2. Press enter
3. Wait for a new palette to show up after it has fetched the package list
4. Type "blade syntax"
5. Press enter
6. Enjoy

Solution 2

For Sublime text 3 as well as sublime text 2

1. install Sublime Package Control (more help on: http://wbond.net/sublime_packages/package_control/installation)

2. then restart sublime text (2/3) and press ----> control (or command in mac) + shift + p

3. there search for package control: install package

4. wait for another interaction screen

5. search for Laravel Blade (and other packages if you want)

Also, once you have Package Control installed, you should also install the package 'DetectSyntax'. It will automatically detect the blade syntax so you don't have to manually set it for each file.

can't find it in the list:(

@Kreker The package name has changed from DetectSyntax to ApplySyntax See here: github.com/facelessuser/ApplySyntax

[Gerry]

Thank you, I already had it installed but thought I didn't because it wasn't auto applied :)

[Jason Lewis]

I think an update was pushed that changed a few things. Might need to uninstall it and make sure everything was deleted. Close and re-open ST2 and install again.

Actually, my gut feel was wrong. Although I did not take time pinpointing what the source of the problem was(leaning towards a rename of the package responsible of laravel highlighting), and my going to the Package Control.sublime-settings in wherever your OS is saving this file, was showing an entry for laravel-blade. All I needed to do was remove it from the JSON file. Voila, no errors, no need to reinstall.

At step 1 I'm typing install package and I get a SyntaxError.

[AndHeiberg]

@yannishristofakis I would have to guess that Package Control wasn't properly installed then. Try to install Package Control again and make sure you don't get any errors.

Or you can download it from here: Source on github

I've followed your tutorial and this link net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/tools-and-tips/… (to create dog resource) and it didn't generate anything. I'm using windows and sublime text 2. I've already add php executable in path environment, assoc .php to php executable. Did I miss something? Error detail: Traceback (most recent call last): File ".\generate.py", line 59, in call_artisan File ".\subprocess.py", line 633, in init File ".\subprocess.py", line 842, in _execute_child WindowsError: [Error 2] The system cannot find the file specified

Brother Please make sure you have installed the package first. First google about how to install packages on Sublime (2 / 3) . You will get the installer code Here . All the best Bro \m/
