With vengi you can create your layouts and views in a simple and practical way, vengi is designed for small projects that are looking for something light, and easy to use and understand. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can add this Library via composer. ``` composer require vengi/engine ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Include the autoload.php: ``` require_once('vendor/autoload.php'); ``` Add Vengi: ``` use Vengi\Engine; use Vengi\View; ``` Config work folders: ``` Engine::views(__DIR__.'/views'); // Set views path. Engine::layouts(__DIR__.'/views/layouts'); // Set layouts path. ``` Note: By default, if you don't define the layouts path, the views/layouts path will be taken. ### Set and Get Views [](#set-and-get-views) Define the view to use. ``` View::set('home'); ``` Get the view at index. ``` View::get(); ``` ### Layout – Sets the content area. [](#layout--sets-the-content-area) On the layout, add the following to define the main content area. ``` @{_Content_}@ ``` ### Layouts and Views. [](#layouts-and-views) To write php code without using the opening and closing tags in views and layouts, use {{ }} instead. ``` {{ //php code }} // This is equivalent to, . ``` To do an echo. ``` {= 'Hello World' }} // This is equivalent to, . ``` ### In the Views. [](#in-the-views) Once you have created the layouts or components to use (Note: components must not have @{*Content*}@, because it is not a layout), to add the layouts or components to the view, do the following: Add the header of a selected layout. ``` {{ Layout::set('main.layout')->header() }} ``` Add the footer of a selected layout. ``` {{ Layout::set('main.layout')->footer() }} ``` Add the layout as a component. ``` {{ Layout::set('menu')->item() }} ``` Note: you can add different header and footer layouts. Example: ``` {{ Layout::set('main-1.layout')->header() }} Sum of two numbers. 5+5 = {= 5+5 }} {{ Layout::set('main-2.layout')->footer() }} ``` ### Pass Information to Views. [](#pass-information-to-views) You can pass information to views through an associative array, on the view side you can access the information through a variable with the name of the key related to the corresponding value in the passed associative array. ``` View::set('home',['key'=>$data]); ``` Example: ``` View::set('home',['key'=>$data,'number'=>2022]); ``` In the View 'home': ``` Home View Data: {= $key }} Year: {= $number }} ``` ### Define a Custom Title on the View. [](#define-a-custom-title-on-the-view) Add at the top of the view: ``` {{ Layout::title('MyTitle') }} ``` Add al in the Layout inside title tags: ``` {{ Layout::titles('PROVISIONAL_TITLE') }} ``` ### Define a Custom HEAD Tags (META,JS,CSS) on the View. [](#define-a-custom-head-tags-metajscss-on-the-view) Add at the top of the view: ``` {{ Layout::head('') }} ``` Add al in the Layout inside title tags: ``` Home {{ Layout::headCustom() }} ``` ### Health Score 17 — LowBetter than 6% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity2 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity36 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
