- **plates.engine\_factory**: Factory for `Engine` instances.
- **plates.loader**: The loader for Plates templates which uses the `plates.folders`, `plates.data`, and `plates.functions` options.
- **plates.extension\_loader.asset**: Create new Asset extension instance that adds the ability to create "cache busted" asset URLs.

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

[](#registering)

```
$app->register(new \LiquidBox\Silex\Provider\PlatesServiceProvider(), array(
    'plates.directory' => '/path/to/templates',
    'plates.folders' => array(
        'email' => '/path/to/email/templates',
    ),

Symfony Components Integration
------------------------------

[](#symfony-components-integration)

The `PlatesServiceProvider` provides additional integration between some Symfony components and Plates. This will provide you with the following additional capabilities.

### Routing Support

[](#routing-support)

If you are using the `UrlGeneratorServiceProvider`, you will have access to the `path()` and `url()` functions. You can find more information in the [Symfony Routing documentation](http://symfony.com/doc/2.8/routing.html).

### Security Support

[](#security-support)

If you are using the `SecurityServiceProvider`, you will have access to the `is_granted()` function in templates. You can find more information in the [Symfony Security documentation](http://symfony.com/doc/2.8/security.html).

Customization
-------------

[](#customization)

You can configure the Plates environment before using it when registering the `plates` service:

```
$app->register(new \LiquidBox\Silex\Provider\PlatesServiceProvider(), array(
    'plates.data' => array(
        'title' => 'Plates - Native PHP Templates',
    ),
    'plates.functions' => array(
        'uppercase' => function ($string) {
            return strtoupper($string);
        },
    ),
));
```

For more information, check out the [official Plates documentation](http://platesphp.com/).
