source folder

[ghost]

this isn't any issues whatsoever, but I really like to know if there's a way jigsaw can maybe change the source folder to something else like
source -> public

Yep, you can add a build key in your config and specify the source and destination directories there. E.g.:

// config.php

return [
    'build' => [
        'source' => 'content',
        'destination' => 'public',
    ],
];

i di some test and to see if thhis actually works, but i'm having issues with the views => 'resources/views. it seems like is not picking up the blade templates.

any idea why

[bakerkretzmar]

Can you give me some more details about your setup? Where is the Blade view you want to use and how are you 'registering' it for a collection (e.g. in the config, in the YAML frontmatter, etc)?

[ghost]

so to answer your question, this is what i have done. This is how my config.php looks like right now

return [
   'build' => [ 
      'source' => 'public'
    ],
    'collections' => [
        'posts' => [
            'extends' => '_views.single',
            'section' => 'content',
            'author' => 'Benjamin Lu',
            'path' => 'archives/{date|Y/m/d}/{-title}',
            'sort' => '-date',
            'getDate' => function( $page ) {
                return Datetime::createFromFormat( 'U', $page->date );
            },
            'hasCategory' => function ( $page, $category ) {
                return collect( $page->categories )->contains( $category );
            },
        ],
        'categories' => [
            'extends' => '_views.category',
            'section' => 'content',
            'path' => '/category/{filename}',
            'name' => function( $page ) {
                return $page->getFilename();
            }
        ],
];

so my folder structure is inside of public folder is

public
  _views
    templates
      main.blade.php
    home.blade.php
    page.blade.php
  assets
  404.md - extends( '_views.page.blade.php' )
  about.md - extends( '_views.page.blade.php' )
  index.md - extends( '_views.home.blade.php' )

mainly I wanted to try to change the public/_views to public/views the public/views should be all *.md, *.blade.php, and *.blade.md The way I wanted is

public
  assets
  views
    _posts
    _portfolio
   _categories
    templates
      main.blade.php
      home.blade.php
      page.blade.php
    404.md - extends( 'views.page.blade.php' )
    about.md - extends( 'views.page.blade.php' )
    index.md - extends( 'views.home.blade.php' )

i hope that make sense.

Are you still having trouble with this?

I think part of the issue is that your views folder is inside the source. If you keep it there, e.g. public/_views, I think you'll need to keep the _ so that Jigsaw doesn't treat it like content. If you don't want the _ in the name it'll have to go outside the source directory I think, something like this:

public
    assets
    _categories
        etc.
resources
    views
        main.blade.php
        etc.

nope, i got this working as expected by using _views now... so this is okay.

[ghost]

but i think right now. this is what i have on my repo
https://github.com/benlumia007/benlu.blog and the following structure in public is what i have right now. I just assume that anythign with _ woudl be hidden anyways.
