Jedi template engine
====================

[](#jedi-template-engine)

Fast and flexible template engine

See [example](https://github.com/vitkovskii/jte/tree/master/examples)

Use composer to install

Main features
-------------

[](#main-features)

- Separated markup and logic
- Template inheritance
- Super fast and simple
- No dependencies

Basic usage
-----------

[](#basic-usage)

```
$jte = new Jte(__DIR__ . '/templates', ['useCache' => true, 'dir' => __DIR__ . '/cache/']);

echo $jte->render('template.jte', 'main', ['param1' => 'value1', 'param2' => 'value2']);

```

Template syntax
---------------

[](#template-syntax)

Template consists of sections. There are three section types:

- Boot section
- Block markup section
- Block logic section

### Boot section

[](#boot-section)

This section is executed then template is booting. Body of the section is pure PHP code.

If you want template extends another, you can specify it in this section:

```
boot {
    extend('base.jte');
}

```

Dynamic inheritance:

```
boot {
    extend(param('parent'));
}

```

More complex:

```
boot {
    if (param('some') % 2 == 0) {
        extend('foo.jte');
    } else {
        extend('baz.jte');
    }
}

```

### Block markup section

[](#block-markup-section)

Block is an independent chunk of HTML or something else :)

```
markup some_block_name {

}

```

You can include references to another blocks into block:

```
markup some_block_name {

            [[ body_block ]]

}

```

Also you can include tree of blocks:

```
markup some_block_name {

            [[ body_block ]] {{

                    [[ menu_block ]]

                    [[ footer_block ]]

            }}

}

```

If you want to include passed param into template do this:

```
markup footer {

        User count: [[ user_count_block = user_count_param ]]

}

```

Or anonymous variant:

```
markup footer {

        User count: [[ =user_count_param ]]

}

```

### Block logic section

[](#block-logic-section)

With this block you can dynamically generate block contents from params or another blocks. Body of this block is pure PHP code.

Replace block with passed param:

```
markup footer {

        User count: [[ user_count_block ]]

}

logic footer {
    replace('user_count_block')->with(param('user_count'));
}

```

Replace block with another block:

```
markup item {
    Foo :)
}

markup footer {

        [[ footer_content ]]

}

logic footer {
    replace('footer_content')->with(block('item'));
}

```

Replace block with iterator:

```
markup item {
    Foo :) [[ =count ]]
}

markup footer {

        [[ footer_content ]]

}

logic footer {
    replace('footer_content')->with(iterator([1, 2, 3], function($item, $count) {
        return block('item', ['count' => $count]);
    }));
}

```

Self replacement:

```
logic menu {
    replace('menu_items')->with(iterator(param('menu'), function($item, $count) {
        if ($count % 2 == 1) {
            $class = 'bg-1';
        } else {
            $class = 'bg-2';
        }

        $item['class'] = $class;

        return self($item);
    }));
}

markup menu {

        [[ menu_items ]] {{
            [[ =name ]]
        }}

}

```
