Gelembjuk/Templating

Common interface for different PHP templating engines like Smarty, Twig. This package allows to switch between engines witout changes in your PHP code., _(*1)

The package was created to be able to migrate to different popular PHP templating engines without need to change my application code. However, it is still needed to modify templates., _(*2)

Installation

Using composer: gelembjuk/templating require: {"gelembjuk/templating": "1.*"}, _(*3)

Additionally, you have to install a template engine you want to use - smarty/smarty or twig/twig (later i hope to add support of other engines)., _(*4)

Configuration

Configuration is done in run time with a constructor options (as hash argument), _(*5)

$templateroptions = array(
        'templatepath' => $templatesdir, // directory where templates are stored
        'compiledir' => $compiledir,    // directory to use for compilation temp files. It is needed fro Smarty, but not Twig 
        'usecache' => false,       // don't cache . If true then use cache
        'cachedir' => $cachedir,   // path to cache directory. used if `usecache` is true
        'extension' => 'htm' // our templates files will have htm extension
    );

Usage

require '../vendor/autoload.php';

$templater = new Gelembjuk\Templating\SmartyTemplating();
// $templater = new Gelembjuk\Templating\TwigTemplating();

// init template engine
$templater->init($templateroptions);

$templater->setVar('firstname',"John");
$templater->setVar('lastname',"Smith");

$templater->setTemplate('homepage');

// fetch page page content
$pagecontent = $templater->fetchTemplate();

echo $pagecontent;
