MMixing antler and blade templates

[barrydevt]

I trying out Statamic. I created a basic blog which is working great. Now I would like to add in a custom login page and some custom functionality 'outside' of statamic.

So I created a custom route:

Route::get('/login', function(){
    return view('auth.login');
})->name('login');

I created a basic login form in the file resources/views/auth/login.antlers.html

But the view does not render any of the layout.

The docs touch on this slightly at https://statamic.dev/blade#layouts where it implies that I should use a blade layout file here.

This mixing of the template engines seems a bit messy, is there any way to just 'inherit' the antler layout in a detached antler template so I do not need to have a mishmash of blade and antler templates?

If you want Statamic's layouts system to work, you have to return like this instead (obviously replace the layout/template/data):

return (new \Statamic\View\View)
        ->layout('layout')
        ->template('posts.category')
        ->with($category->toAugmentedArray());

Perfect, that's what I was looking for. Thank you.
