Razr - The powerful PHP template engine
=======================================

[](#razr---the-powerful-php-template-engine)

Razr is a powerful PHP template engine for PHP, whose syntax was inspired by ASP.NET Razor.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Render a template:

```
$razr = new Razr\Engine(new Razr\Loader\StringLoader);
echo $razr->render('Hello @( $name )!', array('name' => 'World'));
```

Render a template file with caching:

```
$razr = new Razr\Engine(new Razr\Loader\FilesystemLoader(__DIR__), '/path/to/cache');
echo $razr->render('hello.razr.php', array('name' => 'World'));
```

Syntax
------

[](#syntax)

The Razr syntax uses `@` as special character. It is used to indicate a dynamic statement for the template engine. Within the `@()` notation you may use regular PHP. The following statements are supported.

### Echo data

[](#echo-data)

Use the `@()` notation to echo any PHP data with escaping enabled by default.

**Example**

```
@( $title )
@( 23 * 42 )
@( " is escaped by default." )
```

**Output**

```
Some title
966
<Data> is escaped by default.
```

### Echo raw data

[](#echo-raw-data)

Use the `@raw()` directive to output any PHP data without escaping.

**Example**

```
@raw("This will not be escaped.")
```

**Output**

```
This will not be escaped.
```

### Variables

[](#variables)

You can access single variables and nested variables in arrays/objects using the following dot `.` notation.

```
array(
    'title' => 'I am the walrus',
    'artist' => array(
        'name' => 'The Beatles',
        'homepage' => 'http://www.thebeatles.com',
    )
)
```

**Example**

```
@( $title )
by @( $artist.name ), @( $artist.homepage )
```

**Output**

```
I am the walrus
by The Beatles, http://www.thebeatles.com
```

### Set variable values

[](#set-variable-values)

**Example**

```
@set($msg = "Hello World!")
@( $msg )
```

**Output**

```
Hello World!
```

### Conditional control structures

[](#conditional-control-structures)

Use `@if`, `@elseif`, `@else` for conditional control structures. Use any boolean PHP expression.

**Example**

```
@set($expression = false)
@if( $expression )
    One.
@elseif ( !$expression )
    Two.
@else
    Three.
@endif
```

**Output**

```
Two.
```

### Loops

[](#loops)

You can use loop statements like `foreach` and `while`.

```
@foreach($values as $key => $value)
    @( $key ) - @( $value )
@endforeach

@foreach([1,2,3] as $number)
    @( $number )
@endforeach

@while(true)
    Infinite loop.
@endwhile
```

### Include

[](#include)

Extract reusable pieces of markup to an external file using partials and the `@include` directive. You can pass an array of arguments as a second parameter.

**Example**

```
@include('partial.razr', ['param' => 'parameter'])
```

`partial.razr`:

```
Partial with @( $param )
```

**Output**

```
Partial with parameter
```

### Extending templates with blocks

[](#extending-templates-with-blocks)

Use the `@block` directive to define blocks inside a template. Other template files can extend those files and define their own content for the defined blocks without changing the rest of the markup.

**Example**

```
@include('child.razr', ['param' => 'parameter'])
```

`parent.razr`:

```
Parent template

@block('contentblock')
    Parent content.
@endblock

Parent content outside of the block.
```

`child.razr`:

```
@extend('parent.razr')

@block('contentblock')
    You can extend themes and overwrite content inside blocks. Paremeters are available as well: @( $param ).
@endblock
```

**Output**

```
Parent template

You can extend themes and overwrite content inside blocks. Paremeters are available as well: parameter.

Parent content outside of the block.
```
