Pug Template Engine Plugin for CakePHP 3
========================================

[](#pug-template-engine-plugin-for-cakephp-3)

Powered by [Tale Pug for PHP](https://github.com/Talesoft/tale-pug).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

1. Download [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/doc/00-intro.md) or update `composer self-update`.
2. Run `php composer.phar require clthck/cakephp-pug`.

If Composer is installed globally, run

```
composer require clthck/cakephp-pug
```

Bootstrap
---------

[](#bootstrap)

Add the following to your `config/bootstrap.php` to load the plugin.

```
Plugin::load('PugView');
```

Application Wide Usage
----------------------

[](#application-wide-usage)

Place the following to your `AppController.php` to load the PugView class.

```
public function initialize()
{
    parent::initialize();

    $this->viewBuilder()
        ->className('PugView.Pug')
        ->options(['pretty' => false]);
}
```

What if we need to load additional helpers for our PugView instance? In this case, we can make AppView class inherit PugView class:

```
...
use PugView\View\PugView;
...
class AppView extends PugView
{
	...
	public function initialize()
	{
	    $this->viewOptions([
	        'pretty' => true
	    ]);

	    parent::initialize();

	    $this->loadHelper('Form', [
	        'templates' => 'form_template'
	    ]);
	}
}
```

In Template File (.ctp.pug)
---------------------------

[](#in-template-file-ctppug)

Use `$view` instead of `$this`.

```
= $view->Flash->render()
```

Usage Example of CakePHP JavaScript block
-----------------------------------------

[](#usage-example-of-cakephp-javascript-block)

```
- $view->Html->scriptStart(['block' => true])
|
	$(function() {
		// Your js code goes here..
	});

- $view->Html->scriptEnd()

```

If you're using Sublime Text 2/3, you need to install [cakephp-jade-tmbundle](http://github.com/clthck/cakephp-jade-tmbundle/tree/master) to make syntax highlighting work properly.

Language Syntax Reference
-------------------------

[](#language-syntax-reference)

Please check [jade.talesoft.codes](http://jade.talesoft.codes/) for syntax reference.
