Designed to be forked, modified, extended and hacked. Example Usage ------------- [](#example-usage) This templating engine supports inheritance through blocks. Child templates declare blocks which can be overridden, extended and displayed by parent templates. Child templates can declare a single parent template at any point using the `parent()` method which also provides the opportunity to modify the variables that are in scope. All templates must follow the `namespace::path/to/template` format. ``` ``` ``` escape($title);?> block('content');?> ``` Namespaces and function callbacks are registered with the templating engine when it is constructed. Function callbacks are available as methods within the template context and must be `callable`. The default template extension is `phtml`, but this can be overridden. ``` use SitePoint\TemplatingEngine\TemplatingEngine; $engine = new TemplatingEngine( ['app' => '/path/to/templates/app'], // The namespaces to register ['caps' => 'strtoupper'], // Function callbacks to register inside the template context 'phtml' // The extension of the templates (defaults to phtml) ); $params = [ 'title' => 'My Blog Post', 'paragraphs' => [ 'My first paragraph.', 'My second paragraph.', ], ]; echo $engine->render('app::post', $params); ``` Template Context Methods ------------------------ [](#template-context-methods) The following methods are available by default within the template context. ``` /** * Define a parent template. * * @param string $template The name of the parent template. * @param array $params Parameters to add to the parent template context * * @throws EngineException If a parent template has already been defined. */ public function parent($template, array $params = []); ``` ``` /** * Insert a template. * * @param string $template The name of the template. * @param array $params Parameters to add to the template context */ public function insert($template, array $params = []); ``` ``` /** * Render a block. * * @param string $name The name of the block. */ public function block($name, callable $callback = null); ``` ``` /** * Escape a string for safe output as HTML. * * @param string $raw The unescaped string. * * @return string The escaped HTML output. */ public function escape($raw); ``` Authors ------- [](#authors) - [Andrew Carter](https://twitter.com/AndrewCarterUK) Change Log ---------- [](#change-log) This project maintains a [change log file](CHANGELOG.md) License ------- [](#license) The MIT License (MIT).
