Customize JavaScript Alias

By default, the package provides access to backend variables in the JavaScript context through the constant PHP2JS. However, you can customize this alias to better suit your needs or align with its purpose. For instance:

• __PHP
• __Laravel
• __Back
• __MyAlias

Assigning a Custom Alias

Method ->toJS()

Simply specify the desired constant name as an argument of the ->toJS() method. Keep in mind that this name becomes reserved and cannot be redeclared in your JavaScript files.

class YourController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $event = "Apollo 11 Moon Landing";

        return view('welcome')->with([
            'event' => $event
        ])->toJS("__PHP");
    }
}

Now access the values using this constant in JavaScript:

let event = __PHP.data.event;
// 'Apollo 11 Moon Landing'

Method ->toStrictJS()

class YourController extends Controller
{
    public function index()
    {
        $spacecraft = "Lunar Module Eagle";
        $event = "Apollo 11 Moon Landing";

        return view('welcome')->with([
            'spacecraft' => $spacecraft
        ])->toStrictJS([
            'event' => $event
        ], "__PHP");
    }
}

Now in JavaScript:

let event = __PHP.data.event;
// 'Apollo 11 Moon Landing'

Customizing the JavaScript alias provides flexibility, allowing you to integrate the package seamlessly with your Laravel application while aligning with your coding preferences.
