Template subcomponent for [Expressive](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-expressive).

This package provides the following classes, interfaces, and traits:

- `TemplateRendererInterface`, a generic interface for providing template rendering capabilities.
- `TemplatePath`, a value object describing a (optionally) namespaced path in which templates reside; the `TemplateRendererInterface` returns these.
- `ArrayParametersTrait` provides helper methods you can mix in to implementations for normalizing template parameters to an array.
- `DefaultParamsTrait` provides helper methods you can mix in to implementations for aggregating default parameters as well as merging global, template-specific, and provided parameters when rendering.

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

[](#installation)

Typically, you will install this when installing Expressive. However, it can be used standalone to provide a generic way to provide templating to your application. To do this, use:

```
$ composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-template
```

We currently support and provide the following routing integrations:

- [Plates](https://github.com/thephpleague/plates): `composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-platesrenderer`
- [Twig](http://twig.sensiolabs.org/): `composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-twigrenderer`
- [ZF2 PhpRenderer](https://github.com/zendframework/zend-view): `composer require zendframework/zend-expressive-zendviewrenderer`

Documentation
-------------

[](#documentation)

Expressive provides [template documentation](https://docs.zendframework.com/zend-expressive/features/template/intro/).
