PHP View Presenters
===================

[](#php-view-presenters)

So you have those scenarios where a bit of logic needs to be performed before some data (likely from your entity) is displayed from the view.

- Should that logic be hard-coded into the view? **No.**
- Should we instead store the logic in the model? **No again!**

Instead, leverage view presenters. That's what they're for! This package provides one such implementation.

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

[](#installation)

Run the [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/) command to install the latest stable version:

```
composer require frostealth/php-presenter @stable
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The first step is to store your presenters somewhere - anywhere. These will be simple objects that do nothing more than format data, as required.

Here's an example of a presenter.

```
namespace app\presenters;

use frostealth\presenter\Presenter;

/**
 * Class ConcreteEntityPresenter
 *
 * @property-read string $fullName
 * @property-read string $birthDate
 */
class ConcreteModelPresenter extends Presenter
{
    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function getFullName()
    {
        return implode(' ', [$this->firstName, $this->lastName]);
    }

    /**
     * @return string
     */
    public function getBirthDate()
    {
        return date('y.M.d', $this->entity->birthDate);
    }
}
```

Here's an example of an presentable model.

```
namespace app\models;

use app\presenters\ConcreteModelPresenter;
use frostealth\presenter\interfaces\PresentableInterface;

class ConcreteModel implements PresentableInterface
{
    /** @var string */
    public $firstName;

    /** @var string */
    public $lastName;

    /** @var string */
    public $birthDate;

    /** @var ConcreteModelPresenter */
    protected $presenter;

    /**
     * @return ConcreteModelPresenter
     */
    public function presenter()
    {
        if ($this->presenter === null) {
            $this->presenter = new ConcreteModelPresenter($this);
        }

        return $this->presenter;
    }
}
```

Now, within your view, you can do:

```

    Name

    Birth Date

```
