What is it?

Acorn lets WordPress projects use Laravel's framework components and tooling. It provides access to most core Laravel components such as routing, caching, events, validation, the database layer, queues and sessions, so developers can apply familiar Laravel patterns inside WordPress themes and plugins.

A key feature is Blade templating for WordPress views and blocks. Acorn also lets you install Laravel packages through Composer and use community packages built for Acorn, including integrations for WooCommerce and ACF.

Some Laravel components are not supported, including broadcasting, mail, notifications, Redis, and translation.
