Sage is a starter theme for developers who want to use modern tools like Tailwind CSS and Laravel Blade when building custom themes. It provides a professional workflow with a structured build process and deep integration with the native block editor.

• Automatic theme.json generation: Your Tailwind CSS configuration for colors, fonts, and sizes is automatically converted into a theme.json file. This makes your design tokens instantly available in the block editor's interface without manual setup.
• Laravel Blade templating: Build templates using the Blade engine, which offers modern PHP features like template inheritance, components, and directives. This allows for cleaner, more organized, and reusable template code.
• Vite with Hot Module Replacement (HMR): The build system uses Vite for fast asset compilation. HMR provides instant browser updates for CSS changes during development, including within the block editor, speeding up the feedback loop.
• Professional project structure: The theme follows a clear, organized directory structure with PSR-4 autoloading for PHP classes. It separates source files in resources/ from compiled assets in public/, promoting a maintainable codebase.
• Block editor integration: The theme is built to work seamlessly with the native block editor. Styles compiled for the editor update live via HMR, and the generated theme.json ensures design consistency between the front end and editor.
