Create @js blade directive

[calebdw]

The current practice for bringing PHP data from the backend to the frontend is using Js::from, however, Livewire has an @js directive which is much more verbose (and doesn't necessitate mustache syntax).

Would it be possible to create a @js directive that wraps around Js::from?

Current:

    <script>
        var app = {{ Illuminate\Support\Js::from($array) }};
        {{-- or --}}
        var app = {{ Js::from($array) }};
    </script>

Desired:

    <script>
        var app = @js($array);
    </script>

Thanks!

This exists already (but isn't currently documented).
