CodeIgniter Parser

CI Parser Library extension (empty tags replacement, extended loops, conditional IF and SWITCH structures, CI Helper calls)

, _(*1)

Initial Note

To see how to load, initialize and use standard methods of the CI Parser Library, see Template Parser Class Documentation, _(*2)

Installation by Composer

Option 1 : Run composer

composer require gccloud/parser

Option 2 : or edit /composer.json

{
    "require":
    {
        "gccloud/parser": "1.0.*"
    }
}

And then run composer update

composer update

, _(*4)

Basic Changes

• While parsing a view, all tags found that does not match any data variable will be replaced with an empty string
• The Parser will automatically parse any variable loaded in CI via the Loader Class

Advanced Examples

Declaring conditional blocks

Conditional IF

{if {variable} condition value}
block to output if condition is TRUE
{/if}
OR
{if {variable} condition value}
block to output if condition is TRUE
{else}
block to output if condition returns FALSE
{/if}, _(*6)

the condition tag may take any value among ==, !=, <>, <, <=, > or >=, _(*7)

Conditional SWITCH

{switch {variable}}
{case first_value}
block to output if the first case matches expected value
{break}
{case second_value}
block to output if the second case matches expected value
{break}
{default}
default block to output
{break}
{/switch}

, _(*8)

Declaring loops

{for index from start_value to end_value step step_value}
output block to loop on with the {index} displayed at each step
{/for}

, _(*9)

Viewing indexes in an array structure

{array_name}
{index in array_name}
{/array_name}

, _(*10)

Calling a Helper in a view

{helper_name([argument_1 [, argument_2 ...]])}
For example :, _(*11)

<form action="{site_url(controller/method/key1/value1/key2/value2)}" role="form" class="form-inline">

will be equivalent to :, _(*12)

<form action="<?php echo site_url('controller/method/key1/value1/key2/value2'); ?>" role="form" class="form-inline">

Note that, though arguments are passed to Helpers as strings, they don't require surrounding simple or double quotes when called via the Parser., _(*13)

Helper calls can also be nested. For example :, _(*14)

{form_open({site_url(controller/method/key1/value1/key2/value2)}, role="form" class="form-inline")}

will be equivalent to :, _(*15)

<?php form_open(site_url('controller/method/key1/value1/key2/value2'), 'role="form" class="form-inline"'); ?>
