TemplateerPHP
=============

[](#templateerphp)

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

[](#installation)

Either download the files or use composer to install.

`$ composer require reestyle/templateerphp`

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### FYI

[](#fyi)

Templates can be anywhere relative to the folder set with `setBaseDir`. Going outside that scope is possible (there is no limitation), but then you'd need to remember or guess the folder path down to the double dot (..). Templates must end with `.phtml`.

As a form of 'protection', templates are loaded inside in a lambda function. Thus the TemplateerPHP class' private and protected properties and methods are *invisible* to the template. You can only access the public methods of the class.

---

### 'Controller' code

[](#controller-code)

Basic usage when calling templates:

```
    $templateer = new TemplateerPHP();

    $data = array_merge($this->data, [
        'pageTitle' => 'Hello Page!',
        'content' => 'Hello World!',
    ]);

    $viewHelpers = [
        'UrlHelper',
        'PageContentHelper',
    ]
    foreach ($viewHelpers as $helper) {
        $templateer->addHelper($helper);
    }

    $templateer
        ->setLayout('layout/default')
        ->setBaseDir(__DIR__)
        ->assign($data);

    $html = $templateer
        ->setImplicitLayout(true)
        ->render($this->getResource(), false);
```

---

### Helpers

[](#helpers)

A template helper is registered by its 'lowercased' name. E.g. PageContentHelper would become pagecontenthelper.

A helper should contain the magic method \_\_invoke(). In the template you can address them like:

```

```

You can return whatever you'd like from \_\_invoke(). Here also is no limitation.

---

\###Template code

Use shorthands in templates.

Basic template:

```

```

Would produce:

```
   Hello Page!

   Hello world!
```

---

### Partials / inserts

[](#partials--inserts)

Using partials (or inserts) is easy too:

```

```

You don't need to add `.phtml`. The partial renderer assumes it.

The partial may look like this:

```

```

To output something like this:

```
   val1
```
