Acorn
Composer package that loads Laravel components, such as Blade, Eloquent and Artisan, inside WordPress plugins and themes.
Acorn is a Composer package that loads a Laravel application container inside WordPress, so a plugin or theme can use Laravel components such as Blade templates, Eloquent models, migrations and queues. It follows the WordPress lifecycle and template hierarchy, so WordPress still selects the template for each page. The wp acorn command exposes Laravel’s Artisan commands, and the installation guide describes the setup.
Worth knowing
Acorn runs inside a WordPress site and takes its server requirements from WordPress and Laravel.
