Installtion

composer require nabeelalihashmi/LightView

Basic Usage

Configure your application's views folder and cache folder

LightView::$cache_path = '../cache';
LightView::$views_path = '../app/views';

Render the view like

LightView::view('myView.html', ['message' => 'Hi']);

A view can be:

<!-- layout.html -->
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<title>{% yield title %}</title>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
	</head>
	<body>
	{% include partials/nav.html %}
    {% yield content %}
    </body>
</html>

<!-- myView.html -->
{% extends layouts/main.html %}

{% block title %}Home Page{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
<h1>Home</h1>
<p>Welcome to the home page!</p>
<p>
    We Have A Message For You
    {{ $message }}
    {% 
        echo 'hi';   
    %}
    
</p>
{% endblock %}

Layout

Layout can be simple file having multiple yields and includes.

PHP Code

You can use php code inside {% %} block

{%  echo 'hi'; %}
{%  foreach($messages as $message): %}
<li> {{ $msg }} </li>
{% endforeach %}    

Computed Block

This outputs the html output of code instead of echoing. Good for saving resources.

{( Namespace\Class,method,arg1,arg2 )}

Print Escaped

{{ $variable }}

Print Unescape

{! $variable !}
