Crow template engine
====================

[](#crow-template-engine)

Yet another php template engine

Features:

- Easily extensible - You can create new methods to satisfy your needs
- Wide spread syntax (similar to Blade)
- Framework agnostic - You can use it in any project
- Easy to configure - It takes literally 2 commands to make a basic configuration (1 if you won't use components/custom tags)
- MIT license. Free for commercial and non-commercial use

Installation with composer
--------------------------

[](#installation-with-composer)

Quickstart
----------

Crow::render('index');
```

In /path/to/templates/folder/index.crow.php:

```

        {{ 'Hello world' }}
