Template Helper
===============

[](#template-helper)

Loads and displays or processes a template file

Very simple usage
-----------------

[](#very-simple-usage)

```
use losthost\templateHelper\Template;

$template = new Template('template-file.tpl');
$template->display();

```

This will display the content of file `templates/default/template-file.tpl`. It seems not very usefull, so you can create more complex templates as in next example.

More complex usage
------------------

[](#more-complex-usage)

Create a template file ex. `templatex/default/simple-template.tpl` with code:

```
Hello !

```

Now to display "Hello John!" do the following:

```
use losthost\templateHelper\Template;

$template = new Template('simple-template.tpl');
$template->assing('name', 'John');
$template->display();

```

Multilang usage
---------------

[](#multilang-usage)

Use `$template = new Template('template.tpl', 'de');` to use templates in `templates/de/` instead of `templates/default/`.

You can change default templates dir from `templates/` to `anydir/` you want by using

```
$template->setTemplateDir('anydir')

```

Do not display output
---------------------

[](#do-not-display-output)

Sometimes you don't want to display output. You may need just to get the template output for further processing. Use this:

```
$result = $template->process(); // insead of $template->display();

```
