Phower View
===========

[](#phower-view)

Standalone templating system for PHP scripts.

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

[](#requirements)

Phower View requires:

- [PHP 5.6](http://php.net/releases/5_6_0.php) or above; version [7.0](http://php.net/releases/7_0_0.php) is recommended

Instalation
-----------

[](#instalation)

Add Phower View to any PHP project using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/):

```
composer require phower/view
```

Usage
=====

[](#usage)

This package provides the essential tools for an application to output any kind of output response supported by an optional list of variables which are rendered inside templates.

Templates are plain PHP scripts which are rendered on a protected environment with all variables already available:

```
Hello !
```

Assuming the template above is a file called `my_template.php` then we can use it to output a new set of variables:

```
use Phower\View\TemplateView;

$view = new TemplateView();
$view->setTemplate('my_template.php');
$view->setVariables(['name'] => 'Pedro');

$view->render(); // outputs: Hello Pedro!
```

### Templates inside templates

[](#templates-inside-templates)

Many times we find useful to implement more than one layer of templating with high level ones outputing other templates.

This can be achived by *capturing* the child template into a variable of the parent template:

```
use Phower\View\TemplateView;

$child = new TemplateView();
$child->setTemplate('child_template.php');

$parent = new TemplateView();
$parent->setTemplate('parent_template.php');
$parent->capture('child', $child);

$parent->render();
```

### JSON views

[](#json-views)

Other times we may wish to output a set of variables not using a template but just as a JSON plain representation:

```
use Phower\View\JsonView;

$view = new JsonView();
$view->setVariables(['name'] => 'Pedro');

$view->render(); // outputs: {"name":"Pedro"}
```

> Note that `JsonTemplate` is fully compatible with [PHP `json_encode`](http://php.net/manual/en/function.json-encode.php)so that we can also set `options` and `depth` and use all the accepted values there on each instance of `JsonTemplate`.
