How to register edge templates (layouts / components / partials) in an npm package

[bahdcoder]

Hello. Would love to find out if there's a possibility to register edge templates in a third-party package, that way if you install the package, you can use a whole bunch of pre-registered templates.

Let's say I created a package called adonis-mailer-bootstrap-template, and anyone using my template can create a simple button using @!component('button', title = "Reset your password"). This would be awesome. They can also use layouts registered by my package.

I tried using registerTemplate, but it has no support for slots (i think)

Thanks !

@bahdcoder Yes, you can do it using the disks of Edge. Lets say you store the templates inside the node_modules/adonis-mailer-bootstrap-template/views directory.

The user of your package can register a named disk as

import View from '@ioc:Adonis/Core/View'

View.disk('bootstrap', absolutePathToThePackageViewsDir)

and then they can use it as

@component('bootstrap::template-name')
