Aura View
=========

[](#aura-view)

This package provides an implementation of the [TemplateView](http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/templateView.html) and [TwoStepView](http://martinfowler.com/eaaCatalog/twoStepView.html) patterns using PHP itself as the templating language. It supports both file-based and closure-based templates along with helpers and sections.

It is preceded by systems such as [`Savant`](http://phpsavant.com), [`Zend_View`](http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.html), and [`Solar_View`](http://solarphp.com/class/Solar_View).

To run the unit tests at the command line, issue `composer install` and then `./vendor/bin/phpunit` at the package root. This requires [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/) to be available as `composer`.

This library attempts to comply with [PSR-1](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-1-basic-coding-standard.md), [PSR-2](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-2-coding-style-guide.md), and [PSR-4](https://github.com/php-fig/fig-standards/blob/master/accepted/PSR-4-autoloader.md). If you notice compliance oversights, please send a patch via pull request.

Getting Started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

### Instantiation

[](#instantiation)

To instantiate a *View* object, use the *ViewFactory*:

```

```

### Escaping Output

[](#escaping-output)

Security-minded observers will note that all the examples in this document use manually-escaped output. Because this package is not specific to any particular media type, it **does not** come with escaping functionality.

When you generate output via templates, you **must** escape it appropriately for security purposes. This means that HTML templates should use HTML escaping, CSS templates should use CSS escaping, XML templates should use XML escaping, PDF templates should use PDF escaping, RTF templates should use RTF escaping, and so on.

For a good set of HTML escapers, please consider [Aura.Html](https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Html#escaping).

### Registering View Templates

[](#registering-view-templates)

Now that we have a *View*, we need to add named templates to its view template registry. These are typically PHP file paths, but [templates can also be closures](#closures-as-templates). For example:

```
