Slim Framework Plates View
==========================

[](#slim-framework-plates-view)

This is a Slim Framework view helper built on top of the Plates templating component. You can use this component to create and render templates in your Slim Framework application.

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/)

```
$ composer require blat/slim-plates
```

Requires Slim Framework 4, Plates 3 and PHP 7.4 or newer.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

```
use DI\Container;
use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;
use Slim\Views\Plates;
use Slim\Views\PlatesExtension;

require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';

// Create Container
$container = new Container();
AppFactory::setContainer($container);

// Set Plates View in Container
$container->set('view', function () {
    return new Plates(__DIR__ . '/../templates');
});

// Create App
$app = AppFactory::create();

// Add Plates Extension Middleware
$app->add(new PlatesExtension($app));

// Define named route
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    return $this->get('view')->render($response, 'profile', [
        'name' => $args['name']
    ]);
})->setName('profile');

// Run app
$app->run();
```

Custom template functions
-------------------------

[](#custom-template-functions)

`PlatesExtension` provides these functions to your Plates templates:

- `urlFor()` - returns the URL for a given route. e.g.: /hello/world
- `fullUrFor()` - returns the URL for a given route. e.g.:
- `isCurrentUrl()` - returns true is the provided route name and parameters are valid for the current path.
- `currentUrl()` - returns the current path, with or without the query string.
- `basePath()` - returns the base path.

You can use `urlFor` to generate complete URLs to any Slim application named route and use `isCurrentUrl` to determine if you need to mark a link as active as shown in this example Plates template:
