SectionedView
=============

[](#sectionedview)

SectionedView implements layout inheritance and sections in php's native templates. It aims to be simple an easy to integrate

\##Features

- Integrates seamlessly with php's native templating (à la ``)
- easy to integrate with frameworks such as [Slim PHP](http://www.slimframework.com/)

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

[](#getting-started)

\###Install

I recommend you install SectionedView via Composer:

composer.json:

```
"require": {
  "eisteee/sectioned-view": "~1.0"
}

```

or using the command line

```
composer require eisteee/sectioned-view

```

\###Requirements

Only *PHP >= 5.3.0* is required

\###Quick Tutorial

Instantiate a SectionedView renderer:

```
$template_path = __DIR__ . "/templates"; //absolute path to your template directory
$view = new \SectionedView\View($template_path);
$view->render("hello.php", array('name' => 'World'));

```

templates/hello.php:

```
Hello, !

```

renders

```
Hello, World!

```

in order to return the rendered contents instead of printing them to output directly use:

```
$template_path = __DIR__ . "/templates"; //absolute path to your template directory
$view = new \SectionedView\View($template_path, array('echo' => 'false'));
$view->render("hello.php", array('name' => 'World'));

```

\###Using layouts & sections

considering the same setup as above, now we will use a layout file

templates\\layout.php:

```

   Hello

```

templates\\hello.php:

```

   Hello, !

```

will render:

```

   Hello

   Hello, World!

```

\###Slim PHP Views

a view class for use in [Slim PHP](http://www.slimframework.com/) projects can be achieved as follows:

```
class SectionedSlimView extends \Slim\View
{
    private $sectionedView;
    public function __construct($template_base)
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->sectionedView = new \SectionedView\View($template_base);
    }

    public function render($template)
    {
        $this->sectionedView->render($template, $this->data->all());
    }
}

```

register it as your Slim view:

```
$template_path = __DIR__ . "/templates"; /* path relative to specified template_path in SectionedView */
$app = new \Slim\Slim(array(
    "view" => new SectionedSlimView($template_path);
));

```

and you are good to go
