#Static View Cache for Laravel4 (Blade template engine)

Suppose to include a view (with dynamic data) inside another view:

```php


    @include('cardetail', ['car' => $car])

```

For this statement, the blade engine creates a cached file for the subview like this:

```php


    make('car', $car, array_except(get_defined_vars(), array('__data', '__path')))->render(); ?>;

```

This means that for every request of the page, the rendering code is executed.

##Loop
The problem comes when the inclusion is made inside a loop. Executing the code at every iteration, can cause a big delay in the rendering of the page.

##Cached subview
What the StaticViewCache does, is to save a cached version of the generated subview with the real data. Doing so, the code for the rendering will be executed just the first time (to create the cache).

##How to use
To install the StaticViewCache as a Composer package, add this line to your composer.json:

```php
"trapvincenzo/static-view-cache": "dev-master"
```
and update your vendor folder running the ```composer update ``` command.

Register the service provider (app/config/app.php):

```php
'providers' => array(
...
'Trapvincenzo\StaticViewCache\StaticViewCacheServiceProvider'
...
)
```

Replace the @include statement with:

```php
StaticViewCache::render($viewName, $id, $data , $path )
```

string **$viewName** view name

string **$id** unique identifier for the view (different for each iteration)

array **$data** data to use inside the view

[optional] string **$path** define path inside storage_folder().'/views/' (default 'static')

Enjoy!
