slim-layout-view

A Custom View supporting Layouts for the Slim Framework. slim-layout-view requires Slim 2.0+, which now follows the PSR-2 standard., _(*1)

Installation

Add "petebrowne/slim-layout-view" to your composer.json file:, _(*2)

``` json { "require": { "slim/slim": "2.", "petebrowne/slim-layout-view": "0.3." } }, _(*3)


And install using composer:

``` bash
$ php composer.phar install

Configuration

Configure Slim to use slim-layout-view, and optionally set the layout file to use (defaults to 'layout.php'):, _(*4)

``` php $app = new \Slim\Slim(array( 'view' => '\Slim\LayoutView', 'layout' => 'layouts/main.php' ));, _(*5)


Usage
-----

Now create your layout file. The content from the rendered view will be in a variable called `$yield`:

``` html+php
<html>
  <head></head>
  <body>
    <?php echo $yield ?>
  </body>
</html>

Now you can render the view in the usual way:, _(*6)

``` php $app->get('/', function() use ($app) { $app->render('index.php'); });, _(*7)


Rendering with custom layouts or without any layout at all is also supported:

``` php
// Use a different layout for this route:
$app->get('/', function() use ($app) {
  $app->render('index.php', array('layout' => 'custom_layout.php'));
});

// Skip the layout for this route:
$app->get('/index.xml', function() use ($app) {
  $app->render('xml.php', array('layout' => false));
});
