make:slidewire

Use make:slidewire to generate a new presentation scaffold.

php artisan make:slidewire team/q1-kickoff --title="Q1 Kickoff"

By default, the generated file is written to the first configured presentation root and uses the package's Blade stub.

That stub is a Livewire single-file component with starter slides, so you can begin editing immediately.

Command signature:

make:slidewire
    {name? : The presentation path, e.g. team/q1-kickoff}
    {--presentation= : The presentation path override}
    {--title= : The first slide title}
    {--md : Create a standalone Markdown deck}
    {--multi : Create a multi-file deck}
    {--force : Overwrite existing files}

Arguments and options

• name: optional presentation key such as team/q1-kickoff
• --presentation=: explicit presentation key that overrides name
• --title=: title used in the starter presentation
• --md: create a standalone Markdown deck at {presentation}.md
• --multi: create a composed presentation directory with starter files
• --force: overwrite an existing presentation file

Markdown decks

If you want a content-first starting point, use the --md flag:

php artisan make:slidewire team/q1-kickoff --title="Q1 Kickoff" --md

This creates a standalone Markdown deck with starter frontmatter, slide separators, and a highlighted code example.

Multi-file decks

If you want to start with composition, use the --multi flag:

php artisan make:slidewire team/q1-kickoff --title="Q1 Kickoff" --multi

This creates a presentation directory with a deck.blade.php file, a Blade intro slide, and a Markdown slide part so you can start with a mixed-source deck.

Interactive mode

If you run the command without a presentation name, SlideWire prompts for:

• the presentation path
• the presentation title

php artisan make:slidewire

Overwrite existing files

If the destination file or directory already exists, the command fails unless --force is supplied.

php artisan make:slidewire team/q1-kickoff --title="Q1 Kickoff" --force

slidewire:remote

Use slidewire:remote to start a session where viewers follow the presenter's slide and fragment position:

php artisan slidewire:remote team/q1-kickoff --ttl=2h --poll=2s

The presentation must be registered with Route::slidewire() using its generated route name. The command prints a signed controller URL for the presenter and a separate viewer URL to share with the audience.

Command signature:

slidewire:remote
    {presentation : The presentation key (e.g. pitch)}
    {--ttl= : Session TTL using DSL format (e.g. 30m, 2h, 1d)}
    {--poll= : Viewer poll interval (e.g. 500ms, 2s)}

• presentation: required presentation key, such as team/q1-kickoff, rather than the presentation URL.
• --ttl=: session lifetime as a positive whole number with an m, h, or d suffix. Defaults to RemoteConfig::ttl (2h).
• --poll=: viewer polling interval as a positive whole number with an ms or s suffix. Defaults to RemoteConfig::pollInterval (2s).

Remote sessions require a persistent cache store with atomic lock support, shared by the command and web requests. See Remote presenter control for cache setup, viewer permissions, and session lifecycle.
