v2.0.0-alpha

🎉 Bagisto Visual v2.0.0-alpha

We're excited to announce the first alpha release of Bagisto Visual v2! This is a complete rewrite featuring a new blocks system - independent, reusable components that transform how Bagisto themes are built.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

This is a major version with breaking changes. v2 is not compatible with v1 themes and requires:

• PHP 8.2 or later
• Bagisto 2.3 or later

✨ The Blocks System

v2 introduces a fundamental architectural shift: blocks are no longer scoped to individual sections. They're independent, reusable components shared across your entire theme.

What This Means:

• Design Once, Use Everywhere: Create a button or testimonial block and use it across your entire site. Update once, changes reflect everywhere.
• Deep Nesting: Build sophisticated layouts by nesting blocks inside blocks - columns inside tabs, galleries inside accordions.
• Page Builder Capability: Build completely different page layouts from the same sections by composing different blocks - minimal or rich, your choice.

📦 Installation

# Ensure your project accepts dev packages
composer config minimum-stability dev && composer config prefer-stable true

# Install Bagisto Visual v2
composer require bagistoplus/visual:^2.0@dev

# Publish assets
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=visual-assets

# Install the default theme
composer require bagistoplus/visual-debut:^2.0@dev
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=visual-debut-assets
