Zend View extension

Indigo View

Indigo View extends Zend View. It simplifies integrations with non ZF projects and provides a set of generally useful view helpers., _(*1)

View helpers

Indent

Indents multiline strings. Helps in generating pretty output., _(*2)

<?php
$content = <<< EOS
Line 1
EOS;

$content1 = <<< EOS
Line 1.1
Line 1.2
EOS;

echo '

' . PHP_EOL 
        . ($this->indent($content)) . PHP_EOL
            . ($this->indent($content1, 2)) . PHP_EOL
    . '

';

The above example will output..., _(*3)

<div>
    Line 1
        Line 1.1
        Line 1.2
</div>

RenderObject

Tries to render an object. This is used mainly for rendering objects implementing HelperPluginAwareInterface., _(*4)

If the passed object doesn't implement HelperPluginAwareInterface the helper will try to call the object's __toString() method. If that doesn't exist it will just return the object's class., _(*5)

Implementing HelperPluginAwareInterface is simple. Just have the implementing object return the wanted helper plugin. The helper plugin can be any callable., _(*6)

<?php
class RenderableObject implements \Indigo\View\HelperPluginAwareInterface
{
    public function getHelperPlugin()
     {
        return function ($object) {
            return '

' . get_class($object) . '

';
        };
    }
}

$object = new RenderableObject();

echo $this->renderObject($object);

The above example will output, _(*7)

<h1>RenderableObject</h1>

Or we can use the plugin name registered with the plugin manager., _(*8)

<?php
class RenderableObject implements \Indigo\View\HelperPluginAwareInterface
{
    public function getHelperPlugin() 
    {
        return 'pluginName';
    }
}
