12. Howdid I dothatearlier?
Drop in attributes roughly where they appear in the
markup.
<p data-devise="[pagePropertyName], [type], [label]">
{{ $page->pagePropertyName->text or 'Placeholder when null' }}
</p>
'Real' example
<h1 data-devise="title, text, Title of the Page">
{{ $page->title->text or 'Placeholder when null' }}
</h1>

13. AvoidaBajillionarrows
Add a group to.... you know... group 'em
<h1 data-devise="pageTitle, text, Title of the Page, Main Guts">
{{ $page->featuredEvent->text or 'Placeholder when null' }}
</h1>
<div data-devise="bodyOfThisBeast, wysiwyg, Body of the Page, Main Guts">
{{ $page->bodyOfThisBeast->text or 'Placeholder when null' }}
</div>

14. Collect'emAll
Don't know how many you need but don't need a model?
Make it a collection.
@foreach($page->events as $event)
<h3 data-devise="events[title], text, Title of the Page, Coffee House Events, Edit Many Events">
{{ $event->text or 'Placeholder when null' }}
</h3>
<div data-devise="events[description], wysiwyg, Description of the Event, Coffee House Events, Edit Many Events">
{{ $event->text or 'No Description' }}
</div>
@endforeach

15. Live Updating
This is still in development - be gentle
<!-- Will update the color of the text -->
<p data-devise="textColor, color, Color of the Text">Some Text
</p>
<!-- Will update the background color of the text -->
<p data-devise="textColor, color, Color of the Text, null, null, backgroundColor">Some Text
</p>
<!-- Will update the width attribute of the tag -->
<img data-devise="imageWidth, text, Resize that Sucker, null, null, attribute:width" src="..." width="100">

16. Editing Models
Just One
@php $user = DvsUser::find(2); @endphp
<div data-devise="$user, Edit the User">
{{ $user->email }} has an id of {{ $user->id }}
</div>
Groups
@php $users = DvsUser::where('id', '<', 4)->get(); @endphp
@foreach ($users as $user)
<div data-devise="$user, User $user->id, Edit Users">
We might want to edit user {{ $user->id }} inside a group.
</div>
@endforeach

17. [continued]
AsaSingleAttribute
@php $user = DvsUser::find(2); @endphp
<div data-devise="$user->email, Edit the User Email">
So... {{ $user->email }} has an id of {{ $user->id }} but you already knew that right?
</div>
