Custom Slim Framework view for the Plates
This library provides a custom view for the Slim Framework
to support the Plates template engine., (*1)
Usage
Add the provider to your composer.json file:, (*2)
{
"require": {
"media32/slim-view-plates": "3.*"
}
}
Enable it in your application, (*3)
```php
$view
));
```
## Configuration
### Template File Extension
Set `$view->fileExtension` to the file extension used for all templates.
By default Plates expects the extension to be `.php`.
### Templates Path
Set `$view->templatesPath` to the location of the templates.
By default Slim-View-Plates will use the Slim templates.path configuration
value. This setting allows you to override that value for only the Plates
templates.
### Templates Folder
Add to the `$view->templatesFolders` array, where the key is the name of the
folder and the value is the path.
### Extension
You can access Slim's URL functions inside templates by hooking up the view
extension:
```php
$view->parserExtensions = array(
new \Media32\Slim\View\PlatesExtension()
);
```
#### URL
Inside your Plates template you would write:
= $this->slim()->urlFor('hello', array('name' => 'Josh', 'age' => '19')); ?>, (*4)
You can easily pass variables that are objects or arrays by doing:, (*5)
<a href="<?= $this->slim()->urlFor('hello', array('name' => $person->name, 'age' => $person->age)) ?>">Hello <?= $name; ?></a>
If you need to specify the appname for the getInstance method in the urlFor functions, set it as the third parameter of the function
in your template:, (*6)
<a href="<?= $this->slim()->urlFor('hello', array('name' => $person->name, 'age' => $person->age), 'admin') ?>">Hello <?= $name; ?></a>
Site URL
Inside your Plates template you would write:, (*7)
<?= $this->slim()->siteUrl('/about/me'); ?>
Base URL
Inside your Plates template you would write:, (*8)
<?= $this->slim()->baseUrl(); ?>
Slim Instance
Inside your plates template you would write:, (*9)
<? $this->slim()->getInstance('appname'); ?>
Advanced Usage
To access the Plates engine object for further customization, including loading
extensions, call $view->getInstance()., (*10)
