README

A naive PHP template library. Version 2 is a complete rewrite.

How to use

Extend Manychois\Views\AbstractView and define your template in body() function. Use $this->inner() or $this->region() to set where you would like child content to be injected. For child template, override getParentViewClass() to inform this library its parent class name.

Then you can use AbstractView::render($templateClassName, $viewData) for rendering.

The tests/ folder contains some example usages of AbstractView.

Utility

There are a few classes to help you generate HTML.

Manychois\Views\Esc

It contains 5 methods to escape string in different contexts.

• attr(string $text, bool $unquoted = false)
• css(string $text)
• html(string $text)
• js(string $text, bool $templateMode = false)
• url(string $text)

Manychois\Views\ResourceLibrary

It is used to manage stylesheet / script dependencies.

<?php
$r = new \Manychois\Views\ResourceLibrary();
$r->push('a', '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="a.css" />', ['b']);
$r->push('b', '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="b.css" />');
$result = $r->pull('a');

The above $result will hold this array data:

[
    'b' => '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="b.css" />',
    'a' => '<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="a.css" />'
]
