Some of you have been asking me to continue this series, and I replied to you that we covered everything there is about Sage, of course, I was wrong. I forgot about this JavaScript DOM based routing thing. And one of you has reminded me of that, so thank you very much kind stranger :) .

So, anyway, that is what we are going to be covering in this episode.

In this episode we are going to cover JavaScript routing that comes with Sage for WordPress.

JavaScript DOM-based Routing

So controllers are basically buckets in which you can put the business logic for your theme in, and then have access to those functions inside your templates. We want to do this so that our templates stay clean and not polluted with PHP code. If you are using Sage for your WordPress theme developemt I would suggest using controllers whenever possible. It will make your templates so much cleaner.

In this episode of Sage is Awesome we are going to take a look at how Controllers can be used to make our WordPress theme development cleaner.

Controllers

In this episode we are going to create a modal system for our WordPress site, and then I'm going to show you how you can use Blade components to make your code nicer to look at, and also make it much more flexible so that our modals can be very easy to use later on.

In this episode of Sage is Awesome we are going to take a look at another Blade feature called components and how it can help you with your WordPress development.

Components

In this episode we are going to install Sage, check out what the theme structure looks like, and what specific files and directories do. And then I'm also going to show you how to make compilation of SCSS a little bit faster. Because Sage is using Webpack for SCSS compilation, and that is unfortunate because Webpack is not very fast when dealing with SCSS.

In this miniseries we are going to take a look at Sage WordPress starter theme, and how it can make our lives as theme developers much  easier.
