A PHP package to build HTML5 views (based on HTML5 Boilerplate layouts and the Composer Assets Plugin)., _(*2)

What is this package ?

This package defines a simple Template Engine to manage PHP view files, some HTML files including PHP scripts to build views passing them parameters and objects and some tools to manage global layouts to embed these views. As it is based on the Composer Assets Plugin, the Template Engine also facilitate assets files usage and URL., _(*3)

This package is not yet really documented. Please take a look at the code and the PHP Documentation for more information. A complete demonstration is available in the package itself (PHP server is required)., _(*4)

Installation

This package requires that you use Composer to manage your dependencies., _(*5)

To use the package, you need to add it to your requirements in your composer.json AND to call its TemplateEngineInstaller::postAutoloadDump for the post-autoload-dump Composer's event:, _(*6)

"require": {
    ...
    "atelierspierrot/templatengine": "1.*"
},
...
"scripts": {
    ...
    "post-autoload-dump": "Assets\\Composer\\TemplateEngineInstaller::postAutoloadDump"
}

The Assets and TemplateEngine namespaces will be automatically added to the project Composer autoloader., _(*7)

Composer Extra settings

Using the Template Engine, you can define some extra features in your package's composer.json to specify some paths and presets used by the engine., _(*8)

Below is the example of the package default configuration values added to the default Composer Assets Plugin configuration values:, _(*9)

"extra": {
    "views": [ "www", "www/html5boilerplate" ],
    "views-functions": "src/TemplateEngine/views_functions.php",
    "cache-dir": "tmp",
    "cache-assets-dir": "tmp_assets",
    "layouts": "www/html5boilerplate"
}

This defines one or more relative paths from your package root directory where to find your view files. These directories must exist and defaults to www/ (the default assets directory)., _(*10)

views-functions: array|string

The view functions are loaded before any view rendering and may define some useful methods to use in your view files. See the Views Functions section below for more infos., _(*11)

This entry defines one or more relative file paths from your package root directory where to find your view functions. These files must exist., _(*12)

cache-assets-dir: string

Views functions

Any package defining the extra views-functions setting can define a set of standalone methods to use in view files ; all functions files of the declared views-functions are loaded for all views, so all of these methods may be accessible in any view file., _(*16)
