PHPTAL Integration for Zend Framework 3
=======================================

[](#phptal-integration-for-zend-framework-3)

Provides [PHPTAL](http://phptal.org/) integration for [Zend Framework 3](https://github.com/zendframework/zendframework).

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

[](#installation)

Install this library using composer:

```
$ composer require xorock/zend-phptal
```

Then add `ZfPhptal` to Your module config under the `modules` key.

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

The following configuration options, specific to PHPTAL, is consumed by Service Factory:

```
return [
    'zfphptal' => [
        'cache_dir' => 'path to cached templates',
        // if enabled, delete all template cache files before processing
        'cache_purge_mode' => boolean,
        // set how long compiled templates and phptal:cache files are kept; in days
        'cache_lifetime' => 30,
        'encoding' => 'set input and ouput encoding; defaults to UTF-8',
        // one of the predefined constants: PHPTAL::HTML5,  PHPTAL::XML, PHPTAL::XHTML
        'output_mode' => PhptalEngine::HTML5,
        // set whitespace compression mode
        'compress_whitespace' => boolean,
        // strip all html comments
        'strip_comments' => boolean,
        // if enabled, forces to reparse templates every time
        'debug' => boolean,
    ],
];
```

Using Zend Framework View Helpers
---------------------------------

[](#using-zend-framework-view-helpers)

PhptalRenderer proxies to HelperPluginManager by `public function plugin($name, array $options = null)` or directly with `__call()`:

```
link
```

You can register own plugins in global / module config using ZF 'view\_helpers' option key. For example, to register `Test` plugin:

**module.config.php**

```
return [
    'view_helpers' => [
        'aliases' => [
            'test' => \My\View\Helper\Test::class,
        ],
        'factories' => [
            \My\View\Helper\Test::class => \Zend\ServiceManager\Factory\InvokableFactory::class
        ],
    ],
];

// inside template
// ${php: this.test()}
```

Examples
--------

[](#examples)

Example .html files for the skeleton application can be found in the [examples](https://github.com/xorock/zend-phptal/tree/master/examples)folder.

Backward compatibility with ZTAL
--------------------------------

[](#backward-compatibility-with-ztal)

For backward compatibility with [ZTAL Project](https://github.com/namesco/ZTal) renderer registers numerous standard variables.

```
$this->engine->set('doctype', $this->plugin('Doctype'));
$this->engine->set('headTitle', $this->plugin('HeadTitle'));
$this->engine->set('headScript', $this->plugin('HeadScript'));
$this->engine->set('headLink', $this->plugin('HeadLink'));
$this->engine->set('headMeta', $this->plugin('HeadMeta'));
$this->engine->set('headStyle', $this->plugin('HeadStyle'));
```
