Laravel5 package view - php

Question

I've crated package "za-web/tags"
composer.json:
{
"name": "za-web/tags",
"description": "",
"authors": [
{
"name": "Aleksandr Zamiatin",
"email": "cawa123#mail.ru"
}
],
"require": {
"php": ">=5.4.0",
"illuminate/support": "5.0.*"
},
"autoload": {
"classmap": [
"src/views"
],
"psr-4": {
"ZaWeb\\Tags\\": "src/ZaWeb/Tags"
}
},
"minimum-stability": "dev"
}
And to view tags I'm trying to do
return View::make('tags::cloud', ['data' => $data])->render();
And I've got the error: No hint path defined for [tags].
It works only if I've add to TagsServiceProvider in register() method:
View::addNamespace('tags', __DIR__ . '/../../views');

Your solution work but as explained in the Laravel 5 documentation on package development you should add to your ServiceProvider's boot method:
public function boot()
{
$this->loadViewsFrom(__DIR__.'/path/to/views', 'courier');
}
instead of
View::addNamespace('tags', __DIR__ . '/../../views');
If you want to publish your package views, don't forget to use the publishes method:
public function boot()
{
$this->loadViewsFrom(__DIR__.'/path/to/views', 'courier');
$this->publishes([
__DIR__.'/path/to/views' => base_path('resources/views/vendor/courier'),
]);
}
