Include package view in my main view

Question

I have a package in my Laravel project that has a view of it's own. I need to include that view in the main view of my project. My package is named as Tkabir\Somepackage. In my project's config/app.php, I have included the service provider for the package as

'providers' => [
    /*
     * Package Service Providers...
     */
    Tkabir\Somepackage\SomeServiceProvider::class,
]

and also included alias for package's facade as

'aliases' => [
    /*
     */
    'Somepackage' => Tkabir\Somepackage\Facade\Somepackage::class,
]

But still, when I try to include the view from the package in my main view like this:

@include('Somepackage::welcome')

...where welcome.blade.php is the blade view file in my package, I get the following error displayed:

ErrorException in FileViewFinder.php line 112: No hint path defined for [Somepackage]. (View: E:\xampp\htdocs\laravel->projects\test_package\resources\views\welcome.blade.php)

What may seem to be the problem here?

Here's the link to my package in Github, if anyone needs to see the files: mypackage

Answer 1

@include includes a view. You're calling in a method for a class.

You're including configurations correctly with

$this->publishes([
    .'/Config/somepackage.php' => config_path('somepackage.php'),
], 'config');

You need to do the same thing for your views in your service provider's boot() method for views: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/packages#views | Header: Publishing Views

You also need to run php artisan vendor:publish just as you would for configurations, and include your view in with @include
