Wing Commander is a Mustache wrapper for the Flight PHP microframework.

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

[](#installation)

The easiest way to install Wing Commander is using Composer. Create a composer.json file in the root of your project and require Wing Commander.

```
{
    "require": {
        "xmeltrut/wing-commander": "*"
    }
}

```

Then run the install command, and this will install all dependencies - including Flight and Mustache.

```
composer install

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

A basic usage would look like the following.

```
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

WingCommander::init();

Flight::route('/', function(){
    Flight::view()->set("someVar", "Hello, World!");
    Flight::render("homepage", array(), "body");
    Flight::render("layout", array("title" => $pageTitle));
});

Flight::start();

```

By default, it will look for Mustache templates in the ./templates directory of your project. You can change this by calling the setTemplatePath method.

```
Flight::view()->setTemplatePath("./application/templates");

```

Lets create homepage.mustache.

```
{{someVar}}

```

A layout to wrap it in too - layout.mustache.

```
Wing Commander says:
{{{body}}}

```

Bringing it all together, you can use it like you would use the standard Flight view component.

```
Flight::view()->set("someVar", "Hello, World!");
Flight::render("homepage", array(), "body");
Flight::render("layout", array("title" => $pageTitle));

```
