dhii/output-renderer-interface

An interface for objects that can perform rendering.

Dhii - Output - Renderer - Interface

, _(*1)

Interfaces for rendering interoperability., _(*2)

Details

Like other members of the Dhii\Output namespace, interfaces in this package are related to producing output, handling related errors, and providing convenience around output functionality. Particularly, interfaces in this package are at the core of output generation, defining a standard API for anything that can render output., _(*3)

Therefore, output renderers MUST implement RendererInterface. If RendererInterface#render() is unable to produce output, a CouldNotRenderExceptionInterface MUST be thrown., _(*4)

Interfaces

• [RendererInterface] - Represents a renderer, i.e. something that can produce output.
• [TemplateInterface] - A renderer that uses context to render.
• [BlockInterface] - A renderer that has access to the render context, and is also stringable.
• [RendererAwareInterface] - Something that exposes a renderer.
• [ContextAwareInterface] - Something that can have a rendering context retrieved.
• [BlockAwareInterface] - Something that can have a block retrieved.
• [TemplateAwareInterface] - Something that can have a template retrieved.
• [RendererExceptionInterface] - An exception that occurs in relation to a renderer, and is aware of it.
• [CouldNotRenderExceptionInterface] - A specialized renderer exception that signals problems during rendering.
• [TemplateRenderExceptionInterface] - A specialized "could-not-render" exception that is aware of the rendering context.
