Twig powered View for CakePHP 2.x
, (*1)
This plugin for the CakePHP Framework allows you to use the Twig Templating Language for your views., (*2)
In addition to enabling the use of most of Twig's features, the plugin is tightly integrated with the CakePHP view renderer giving you full access to helpers, objects and elements., (*3)
Make sure you have composer installed and configured with the autoloader registering during bootstrap as described here. Make sure you have a composer.json and add the following to your required section., (*4)
"wyrihaximus/twig-view": "dev-master"
Make the default view-cache folder writeable., (*5)
APP/Plugin/TwigView/tmp/views
Alternatively: Set where you want cache files to be stored., (*6)
define('TWIG_VIEW_CACHE', APP . 'tmp');
To make CakePHP aware of TwigView edit your APP/Controller/AppController.php file and add the following:, (*7)
class AppController extends Controller {
public $viewClass = 'TwigView.Twig';
}
Be sure to load the TwigView plugin in your bootstrap.php file with:, (*8)
CakePlugin::load('TwigView', array('bootstrap' => true));
or:, (*9)
CakePlugin::loadAll();
Now start creating view files using the .tpl extension., (*10)
This plugin comes with all default layouts converted to Twig. Examples can be found in:, (*11)
APP/Plugin/TwigView/examples
The plugin has support for themes and works just like the Theme view. Simply add the $theme property to your controller and you're set., (*12)
class AppController extends Controller {
public $viewClass = 'TwigView.Twig';
public $theme = 'Rockstar';
}
This will cause the view to also look in the Themed folder for templates. In the above example templates in the following directory are favored over their non-themed version., (*13)
APP/View/Themed/Rockstar/
If you, for example, want to overwrite the Layouts/default.tpl file in the Rockstar theme, then create this file:, (*14)
APP/View/Themed/Rockstar/Layouts/default.tpl
All helper objects are available inside a view and can be used like any other variable inside Twig., (*15)
{{ time.nice(user.created) }}
... where ..., (*16)
{{ time.nice(user.created) }}
^ ^ ^ ^____key
| | |____array (from $this->set() or loop)
| |_____ method
|______ helper
Which is the equivalent of writing:, (*17)
<?php echo $this->Time->nice($user['created']); ?>
A more complex example, FormHelper inputs:, (*18)
{{
form.input('message', {
'label': 'Your message',
'error': {
'notempty': 'Please enter a message'
}
})
}}
Elements must be .tpl files and are parsed as Twig templates. Using .ctp is not possible., (*19)
In exchange for this limitation you can import elements as easy as this:, (*20)
{{ _view.element('Plugin.element') }}
The trans filter can be used on any string and simply takes the preceding string and passes it through the __() function., (*21)
{{
form.input('email', {
'label': 'Your E-Mail Address'| trans
})
}}
````
This is the equivalent of writing:
```php
<?php echo $this->Form->input('email', array(
'label' => __("Your E-Mail Address")
)); ?>
The trans-block element will help you with that. This is especially useful when writing email templates using Twig., (*22)
{% trans %}
Hello!
This is my mail body and i can translate it in X languages now.
We love it!
{% endtrans %}
In some cases it is useful to access $this, for example to build a DOM id from the current controller and action name., (*23)
The object is accessible through _view., (*24)
<div class="default" id="{{ _view.name|lower ~ '_' ~ _view.action|lower }}">
Twig has to compile all the templates before they can be used. This adds a one time per template delay to the loading of a page. This can be countered by using the Compile Templates shell command. This commands scans for all the templates and compiles them with Twig for caching and performence gains., (*25)
