Theme MVC Pattern

Theme structure

When developing a theme, you can start by using the default theme called ripple or create a new theme using a starter theme with the following command:

php artisan cms:theme:create <your theme name>

Then you can see an MVC pattern in your theme:

• Models: /platform/themes/<your theme>/src/Models

You can create folder platform/themes/<your theme>/src/Models and put all models you need here. Namespace for it will be Theme\Ripple\Models.

TIP

Theme\Ripple is the namespace which autoload in platform/themes/<your theme>/composer.json

Ex: platform/themes/<your theme>/src/Models/Post.php

namespace Theme\Ripple\Models;
    
use Eloquent;

class Post extends Eloquent
{
    protected $table = 'posts';
}

• View: /platform/themes/<your theme>/views

Views will be in platform/themes/<your theme>/views.

• Controllers: /platform/themes/<your theme>/src/Http/Controllers

You can create folder platform/themes/<your theme>/src/Http/Controllers and put all controllers you need here. Namespace for it will be Theme\Ripple\Http\Controllers.

• Routes: /platform/themes/<your theme>/routes.
