Useful in development for templating commonly created files or files with extensive boilerplate or formatting. Leverage the full power of your preferred templating language by implementing the `Ryancco\Canon\Contracts\Compiler` interface. This package includes a dependency-free, "pure PHP" implementation that supports simple variable replacement as well as an implementation for the [Blade templating engine](https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/blade) and the [Twig templating engine](https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/templates.html). Each require you add the respective compiler engine to your project dependencies. Write or read files to and from separate filesystems including local, S/FTP, AWS S3 and more by requiring any of the supported [Flysystem adapters](https://flysystem.thephpleague.com/docs/). Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require [--dev] ryancco/canon ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) ``` use Ryancco\Canon; $canon = new Canon($filesystem); // using a template file $canon->generate('hello-world.txt', 'filename.out', ['name' => 'World']); // using a template string $canon->generate('Hello, { name }.', 'filename.out', ['name' => 'World']); ``` Testing ------- [](#testing) ``` composer test ``` Changelog --------- [](#changelog) Please see the [Release Notes](../../releases) for more information on what has changed recently.
