a correct way to load an anonymous component?

[danielzzz]

hi, I have troubles loading an anonymous component from a package in the main application
this is my config:

$package
            ->name('testpkg')
            ->hasViews();

the component file is at

resources/views/components/testcomponent.blade.php

I have tried:

<x-testpkg::testcomponent />
<x-testpkg-testcomponent />

but it does not work..

thanks, cheers

Apolgies for jumping into this but did you find a solution? Seems the only way is to create a component class but it's really not needed in my use case.

not that I remember.. sorry!

Appreciate the response. Had to abandon usage of this for my particular package. May look into a PR.

A bit late but, I think you need to register your component in the bootingPackage method, see the following example:

//...
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;

class YourServiceProvider extends PakcageServiceProvider
{
  public function bootingPackage()
  {
     Blade::component('testpkg::components.testcomponent');
  }
}

For more info, take a look at Jetstream service Provider

From the package development documentation:

If your package contains anonymous components, they must be placed within a components directory of your package's "views" directory (as specified by the loadViewsFrom method). Then, you may render them by prefixing the component name with the package's view namespace:

<x-courier::alert />

In your service provider, where you define your configurePackage() method, as long as you call $package->hasviews() then the necessary loadViewsFrom() call will be handled (inside PackageServiceProvider).

So let's say, in your package, you have:

resources/views/components/label.blade.php

Then inside your service provider you have:

$package
    ->name('jeff')
    ->hasViews();

Then you will be able use the following in your project:

<x-jeff::label />
