Lightweight view object for alacarte frameworks
A simple PHP class for creating lightweight renderable views for alacarte PHP frameworks. Template languages certainly have their place, but it turns out PHP is great at printing out strings too!, (*1)
Composer is by far the easiest way to install Views., (*2)
composer require journey/views ~0.1
Creating and using views is easy-easy:, (*3)
// Here's one way:
$view = new Journey\View('template-file', $variables);
echo $view->render();
// Here's another:
$view = Journey\View::make('template-file', $variables);
echo $view->render();
// The quickest
echo Journey\View::make('template-file', $variables);
Key value pairs in the $variables array will be extracted for use in the template file. You can also choose to prefix your variables with the variable_prefix option. Of course views can easily be nested as well. Here's an example of typical usage:, (*4)
// file: app.php
$view = Journey\View('master');
// ... some application logic
$variables = array(
'title' => 'Hello World',
'paragraph' => 'Lorum ipsum...'
);
$view->content = Journey\View::make('page', $variables);
// file: templates/master.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Example Website</title>
</head>
<body>
<?= $content ?>
</body>
</html>
// file: template/page.php <h1><?= $title ?></h1> <p><?= $paragraph ?></p>
Generally you'll want to configure the default values for your entire installation sometime around boot:, (*5)
Journey\View::defaults([
'templates' => getcwd() . "/templates",
'extension' => '.php',
'variable_prefix' => null,
'string_template' => false
]);
However you can also set per-instance configuration values:, (*6)
// Lets render the file /tmp/temporary-file.php
$view = new Journey\View('temporary-file');
$view->config(['templates' => '/tmp']);
echo $view;
