Laravel - Blade Templates - Manually Registering Package Components

When writing components for your own application, components are automatically discovered within the app/View/Components directory and resources/views/components directory.

However, if you are building a package that utilizes Blade components, you will need to manually register your component class and its HTML tag alias. You should typically register your components in the boot method of your package's service provider:

    
    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;
    
    /**
     * Bootstrap your package's services.
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        Blade::component('package-alert', Alert::class);
    }
	

Once your component has been registered, it may be rendered using its tag alias:

Alternatively, you may use the componentNamespace method to autoload component classes by convention. For example, a Nightshade package might have Calendar and ColorPicker components that reside within the Package\Views\Components namespace:

    
    use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;
    
    /**
     * Bootstrap your package's services.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function boot()
    {
        Blade::componentNamespace('Nightshade\\Views\\Components', 'nightshade');
    }
	

This will allow the usage of package components by their vendor namespace using the package-name:: syntax:

Blade will automatically detect the class that's linked to this component by pascal-casing the component name. Subdirectories are also supported using "dot" notation.
