Puja v1.1
=========

[](#puja-v11)

Puja is a lightweight, flexible and easy PHP template engine. Inspired in django, Puja also support validate template syntax!

**Install:**

- **Composer**

```
composer require jinnguyen/puja
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$puja = new Puja();
```

- **Old style**

```
require '/path/to/Autoload.php';
$puja = new Puja();
```

**Some of Puja's features**:

- **VALIDATE TEMPLATE SYNTAX**
- it is extremely fast
- no template parsing overhead, only compiles once.
- it is smart about recompiling only the template files that have changed.
- unlimited nesting of sections, conditionals, etc.
- built-in caching of template output.

**Validate syntax:**
Puja support validate syntax before the parser run compiler. This will helpfull for you to write template syntax.

**Download**
GIT: *git clone *
SVN: *svn checkout *
Source code: **

Bug list: [https://github.com/jinnguyen/puja/issues?page=1&state=open](https://github.com/jinnguyen/puja/issues?page=1&state=open)

Example: file template: index.tpl:

```
{% extends master.tpl %}
{% block body %}
	Hello, {{ a }
	Welcome you go to Puja template examples
{% endblock %}
```

The result will be:

```

```

Puja only show debug when mode **debug** is enabled
\*\* We recommend you should only enable mode **debug** when your app is in develop. And disable it when your app go to production. It will save a lot time to template engine parser.

**Basic API Usage**:

- template file: index.tpl

```
Hello {{ username }},
Welcome you go to the very first exmplate of Puja template.
```

- php file: index.php

```

```

The result will show:

```
Hello Jin Nguyen,
Welcome you go to the very first exmplate of Puja template.
```

See [User's guide](https://github.com/jinnguyen/puja/tree/master/docs/user-guide.md) for full information.

**Template Inheritance**:

- master.tpl:

```
==== Start Master ===
{% block body %}Master Body{% endblock body %}
{% block javascript %}Master javascript{% endblock javascript %}
==== End Master ====
```

- index.tpl

```
{% block javascript %}Index javascript{% endblock javascript %}
{% block body %}Index Body{% endblock body %}
```

And the result will be:

```
==== Start Master ===
Index Body
Index javascript
==== End Master ====
```
