SmartyServiceProvider
=====================

[](#smartyserviceprovider)

The *SmartyServiceProvider* provides integration with the \[Smarty\] () template engine.

Parameters
----------

[](#parameters)

- **smarty.dir** (string, optional): Path to the directory containing Smarty distribution (a one with folders libs and demo). If not given, provider assumes, that smarty class is already loaded.
- **smarty.instance** (\\Smarty, optional): An instance of Smarty class. If not given, will be created by the provider.
- **smarty.options** (array, optional): An associative array of smarty class variables to set. Check out the \[Smarty documentation\] () for more information.
- **smarty.configure** (callable, optional): A callable which takes one argument - Smarty class instance. It is called during provider's register() method. You can use this option to make some custom smarty configuration, for example.

Services
--------

[](#services)

- **smarty**: The `Smarty` instance. The main way of interacting with Smarty.

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

[](#installation)

The best way to install Smarty Trait is to use a [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/download):

```
composer require junker/smarty-service-provider

```

Registering
-----------

[](#registering)

Make sure you place a copy of \[Smarty\] () in the `vendor/Smarty` directory:

```
use Junker\Silex\Provider\SmartyServiceProvider;
define('SMARTY_PATH', __DIR__ . '/../../../../vendor/Smarty');

$app->register(new SmartyServiceProvider(), array(
          'smarty.dir' => SMARTY_PATH,
          'smarty.options' => array(
                'template_dir' => SMARTY_PATH . '/demo/templates',
                'compile_dir' => SMARTY_PATH . '/demo/templates_c',
                'config_dir' => SMARTY_PATH . '/demo/configs',
                'cache_dir' => SMARTY_PATH . '/demo/cache',),));
```

**Note:**

Smarty is not compiled into the `silex.phar` file. You have to add your own copy of \[Smarty\] () to your application.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The Smarty provider provides a `smarty` service:

```
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($name) use ($app) {
    return $app['smarty']->display('hello.tpl', [
        'name' => $name,
    ]);
});
```

This will render a file named `hello.tpl` in the configured templates folder you passed in `smarty.options`.

In any Smarty template, the `app` variable refers to the Application object. So you can access any services from within your view. For example to access `$app['request']->getHost()`, just put this in your template:

```
{$app.request->getHost()}

```

Get new smarty instance with same smarty.options:

```
$smarty2 = $app['smarty.new_instance']();
```

Traits:

```
class Application extends \Silex\Application
{
	use \Junker\Silex\Application\SmartyTrait;
}

$app->render('hello.tpl', [
        'name' => $name,
    ]);
```

Template usage
--------------

[](#template-usage)

```
{path _name='app.login'}
same as $app['url_generator']->generate('app.login');

{path _name='app.product' id=11}
same as $app['url_generator']->generate('app.product', ['id' => 11]);

{url _name='app.login'}
same as $app['url_generator']->generate('app.login', UrlGeneratorInterface::ABSOLUTE_URL);

{trans _name='err.access_forbidden'}
same as $app['translator']->trans('err.access_forbidden');

{trans _name='warn.my_city' city='London'}
same as $app['translator']->trans('warn.my_city', ['%city%' => 'London']);

{trans}hello{/trans}
same as $app['translator']->trans('hello');

{transChoice _name='days' _count=5}
same as $app['translator']->transChoice('days', 5, ['%count%' => 5]);
```
