Requires PHP 5.3+

A super lightweight templating system that makes PHP templating awesome.

Basic usage

Starting with a really basic application which has the following layout:

├── templates
│   └── greeting.phtml
├── composer.json
└── index.php

The composer.json file has stuartwakefield/templating in the the require map:

{
	"require": {
		"stuartwakefield/templating": "0.1.0a"
	}
}

The template file templates/greeting.phtml has the following content:

<p>Hey there, <?= $this->name ?>!</p>

The index.php script:

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Templating\Template;

$template = new Template('templates/greeting.phtml');
$result = $template->fill(array(
	'name' => 'Bob'
));
echo $result; // <p>Hey there, Bob!</p>

Simple as that!

Presenters

The really cool thing with this templating library is that you can start to use presenter objects with your templates effortlessly.

Lets set up a basic presenter src/Presenter.php and lets assume you have set up composer to autoload the class:

<?php
class Presenter {

	private $name;

	function __construct($name) {
		$this->name = $name;
	}
	
	function greet() {
		return 'Hello, ' . $name . '! You are logged in.';
	}
	
}

Then in a new template templates/account.phtml:

<p><?= $this->greet() ?></p>

Our updated index.php looks like this:

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';
use Templating\Template;

$template = new Template('templates/account.phtml');
$presenter = new Presenter('Khan');
$result = $template->fill($presenter);
echo $result; // <p>Hello, Khan! You are logged in.</p>
