EasyTemplate
============

[](#easytemplate)

EasyTemplate is a PHP Template Parser that consequently seperates logic from the view. It simply replaces marked areas of an HTML file with content generated by a controller script.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

PHP 8.1.2

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

[](#installation)

```
$ composer require dahas/easy-template

```

Example
-------

[](#example)

Templates are either complete HTML files or HTML segments that contain markers and slices.

```
DOCTYPE html>

        [[TITLE]]

        [[HEADER]]

                    #
                    NAME
                    AGE
                    CITY

                    [[UID]]
                    [[NAME]]
                    [[AGE]]
                    [[CITY]]

```

Here is how you load a template:

```
$template = new EasyTemplate("path/to/template.html");
```

### Markers

[](#markers)

Markers are placeholders. They'll be replaced with content when the HTML template gets parsed. A marker is surrounded by double square brackets, like so: `[[MARKER]]`

### Slices

[](#slices)

A slice is an HTML segment within a template. It is defined by two markers, one at the beginning and one at the end of the segment. Both slice-markers are wrapped twice in curly braces. You can additionally wrap them in comments:

```

    [[UID]]
    [[NAME]]
    [[AGE]]
    [[CITY]]
    [[COUNTRY]]

```

Slices are treated like Templates. You can even put a Slice in its own HTML file.

Getting the Slice within a Template:

```
$slice = $this->template->getSlice("ROWS");
```

Loading the Slice from its own file:

```
$slice = new EasyTemplate("path/to/slice.html");
```

### Parsing Markers and Slices

[](#parsing-markers-and-slices)

To replace Markers and Slices and return a valid HTML document you use the `parse()` method. This function takes an Array of Markers as the first and an Array of Slices as the second argument.

```
$template = new EasyTemplate("path/to/template.html");

$markers = [
    "TITLE" => "The title",
    "HEADER" => "Easy Template is cool!"
];

$slice = $template->getSlice("ROWS");

$rows = $slice->parse([
    "UID" => 1,
    "NAME" => "Angus Young",
    "AGE" => 66,
    "CITY" => "Melbourne",
]);

$slices = [
    "ROWS" => $rows
];

return $template->parse($markers, $slices);
```
