rych/silex-plates-provider

Provides Plates template engine to Silex.

Plates Template Engine for Silex

This project aims to provide integration of the Plates template engine into the Silex micro-framework. It's in the very early stages, so don't be surprised if the integration is less than optimal., _(*1)

The project is based very heavily on the default TwigServiceProvider and some of the Symfony-Twig bridge extensions., _(*2)

Usage

Add the provider to your composer.json file:, _(*3)

{
    "require": {
        "rych/silex-plates-provider": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Enable it in your application:, _(*4)

<?php

/* @var $app Silex\Application */
$app->register(new \Rych\Silex\Provider\PlatesServiceProvider(), array (
    'plates.path' => '/path/to/templates', // Required
    'plates.folders' => array (            // Optional
        'email' => '/path/to/email/templates';
    ),
));

$app->get('/', function () use ($app) {
    return $app['plates']->render('mytemplate');
});

Extensions

This provider also registers common extensions which work very similar to those found in the Symfony-Twig bridge. I hope to add more in the future, but right now I've only included the big ones I use regularly., _(*5)

Routing Extension

Provides the url and path functions for generating URIs. This extension is only available if UrlGeneratorServiceProvider is registered., _(*6)

Security Extension

Provides the is_granted function. This extension is only available if SecurityServiceProvider is registered., _(*7)

Custom Extensions

You may choose to register your own Plates extensions. This can be accomplished easily by extending the plates.engine service., _(*8)

<?php

/* @var $app Silex\Application */
$app['plates.engine'] = $app->share($app->extend('plates.engine', function($engine, $app) {
    $engine->addExtension(new \My_Plates_Extension());

    return $engine;
}));
