Why this package is helpful?
----------------------------

[](#why-this-package-is-helpful)

Templex lets you define stubs and hydrate them using PHP variables. The engine uses regex for all processing — no `eval()`, no including and running code as PHP. This means you can safely generate new PHP files, config files, or any text-based content from templates.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- PHP 8.5 or higher

Install
-------

[](#install)

```
composer require myerscode/templex
```

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Myerscode\Templex\Templex;

$templex = new Templex(__DIR__ . '/templates/', 'stub');

echo $templex->render('welcome', ['name' => 'Fred']);
```

Where `templates/welcome.stub` contains:

```
Hello !

```

Documentation
