Hello {{ $name }}! @endsection @push('styles') @endpush ``` ### Components [](#components) **Component (components/alert.view.php):** ``` @if(isset($title)) {{ $title }} @endif {{ $slot }} ``` **Using components:** ``` Your profile has been updated. {{-- Self-closing --}} {{-- With named slots --}} @slot('header') Card Title @endslot This is the main card content. @endcard ``` ### Includes [](#includes) ``` @include('partials.header') @include('partials.nav', ['active' => 'home']) ``` ### Raw PHP [](#raw-php) ``` @php $processed = array_map('strtoupper', $items); $total = count($processed); @endphp Processing {{ $total }} items ``` ### Stacks [](#stacks) ``` @push('scripts') @endpush @push('scripts') @endpush {{-- In layout --}} @stack('scripts') ``` Directory Structure ------------------- [](#directory-structure) ``` your-project/ ├── templates/ │ ├── layouts/ │ │ └── app.view.php │ ├── components/ │ │ ├── alert.view.php │ │ └── button.view.php │ ├── partials/ │ │ ├── header.view.php │ │ └── footer.view.php │ └── pages/ │ ├── home.view.php │ └── about.view.php └── cache/ (auto-created) ``` Advanced Usage -------------- [](#advanced-usage) ### Custom Global Data [](#custom-global-data) ``` // Add data available to all templates $templates->share('app_name', 'My Application'); $templates->share('current_user', $user); // Or add multiple at once $templates->shareMany([ 'app_name' => 'My Application', 'version' => '1.0.0' ]); ``` ### Cache Management [](#cache-management) ``` // Clear all cached templates $templates->clearCache(); // Get cache statistics $stats = $templates->getCacheStats(); // Returns: ['enabled' => true, 'files' => 15, 'size' => 45231, 'size_formatted' => '44.17 KB'] ``` ### Debug Mode [](#debug-mode) ``` // Enable debug mode for verbose error reporting $templates->setDebugMode(true); // Get compilation information $debug = $templates->getDebugInfo('welcome'); // Get compilation log $log = $templates->getCompilationLog(); ``` ### Template Validation [](#template-validation) ``` // Validate template syntax $result = $templates->validateTemplate('welcome'); if (!$result['valid']) { foreach ($result['errors'] as $error) { echo "Error: {$error}\n"; } } ``` Error Handling -------------- [](#error-handling) AnTemplate provides detailed error reporting: ``` use AnTemplate\AnTemplateException; try { echo $templates->render('nonexistent'); } catch (AnTemplateException $e) { echo "Template Error: " . $e->getDetailedMessage(); echo "Template: " . $e->getTemplateName(); echo "File: " . $e->getTemplateFile(); echo "Line: " . $e->getTemplateLine(); } ``` Performance ----------- [](#performance) - **Template compilation caching** - Templates are compiled once and cached - **Optimized parsing** - Efficient regex-based compilation - **Minimal overhead** - No external dependencies - **Memory efficient** - Smart buffering and cleanup Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.0 or higher - No external dependencies License ------- [](#license) MIT License.
