Lorem: Dummy text and images for Laravel

Sick of copying and pasting lorem ipsum text and placeholder images? Lorem can help you

March 3, 2016

Adding lorem ipsum text and placeholder images for the millionth time?

I’ve created a super small Laravel package for making this boring task a little less annoying.

Install

composer require ecrmnn/lorem

After you have installed open your Laravel config file config/app.php and add the following lines. In the $providers array add the service providers for this package.

Ecrmnn\Lorem\LoremServiceProvider::class

Usage

Access Lorem by using the global helper lorem()

Text

<body>
    <div class="content">
        <!-- Returns one paragraph of lorem ipsum -->
        {!! lorem(1) !!}
    </div>
</body>

<body>
    <div class="content">
        <!-- Returns 23 paragraphs of lorem ipsum -->
        {!! lorem(23) !!}
    </div>
</body>

Image

<body>
    <div class="content">
        <!-- Returns an image (1024x1024) -->
        {!! lorem()->image() !!}
    </div>
</body>

<body>
    <div class="content">
        <!-- Returns an image (1000x600) with class -->
        {!! lorem()->image(1000, 600, ['class' => 'img-responsive']) !!}
    </div>
</body>
