Templating library.

Template

Template system, based on cs_genericPage from cs-content (v1.x)., _(*1)

This is a templating engine, built primarily to allow easy separation between PHP and HTML. Separating PHP from HTML helps keep the code clean and tends to avoid spaghetti code from happening., _(*2)

Quick Definitions

Template: a file containing template vars., _(*3)

Template Var: a string of text, following standard variable naming conventions, wrapped in curly braces: {templateVar}, _(*4)

Sample

This is a simple example. Keep in mind that there's a lot of different ways to accomplish this same end result., _(*5)

$recordSet = array(
            0 => array(
                'primary_id'    => 1,
                'record_name'   => 'The First Record',
                'another_field' => 'field value',
                'is_active'     => 0,
            ),
            1 => array(
                'primary_id'    => 3,
                'record_name'   => 'A third record',
                'another_field' => 'something else',
                'is_active'     => 1,
            ),
);
$tmpl = new Template(__DIR__ .'/path/to/file.tmpl');
$output = $tmpl->renderRows($recordSet);

The associated template file would look something like this:, _(*6)

===============
{primary_id}|{record_name}|{another_field}|{is_active}|{invalid_field}
----

The output would look like this:, _(*7)

===============
1|The First Record|field value|0|
----
===============
3|A third record|something else|1|
