Fast and simple view inheritance and templating.
Scenic View is a tiny library that provides view and template inheritance. The syntax is straight PHP but is very clean and expressive., (*1)
The following examples use PHP short syntax (to provide cleaner views) which is fine
if you have control over your own server. NOTE: you should definitely use <?php ?>
if you are planning to distribute your code or do not have admin access to your server., (*2)
$view = new Scenic\View('path/to/views');
echo $view->render('index.php', array('title' => 'Welcome', 'name' => 'Chris'));
Create a layout (template) file that other files will extend. The $show() method displays
a section of content that's defined by a child view extending it., (*3)
<html>
<head>
<title><?= $title ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<? $show('content') ?>
</body>
</html>
Create your view that extends the layout and provides the content for the section., (*4)
$extends('template.php') ?>
$section('content') ?>
Welcome, = $name ?>
$end() ?>
What if you want to provide content in the parent, but extend that in the child? You can!, (*5)
Define a section in the template., (*6)
<html>
<head>
<title><?= $title ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<? $section('content') ?>
<h1>Welcome, <?= $name ?></h1>
<? $end() ?>
</body>
</html>
Use the @parent key in the view to specify where you want the parent content to appear., (*7)
$extends('template.php') ?>
$section('content') ?>
@parent
We hope you have a great stay!, (*8)
$end() ?>
or, (*9)
$extends('template.php') ?>
$section('content') ?>
We hope you have a great stay!, (*10)
@parent
$end() ?>
Including partial views, like headers or footers, is easy as well., (*11)
<html>
<head>
<title><?= $title ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<? $section('content') ?>
<h1>Welcome, <?= $name ?></h1>
<? $end() ?>
<? $include('footer.php') ?>
</body>
</html>
