README

Lightweight PHP implementation of the Jinja2 template engine originally developed for Python.

Overview

This library allows you to seamlessly process Jinja templates in PHP applications. It provides a familiar syntax for those coming from Python while offering a native PHP implementation.

Key Features

• Python Compatibility: Process the same Jinja templates in both Python and PHP
• Variable Support: Full support for variables, properties, and nested structures
• Conditional Logic: if/else statements for conditional rendering
• Loops: Iterate over arrays and objects with for loops
• Filters: Transform output with built-in filters like upper, lower, default, etc.
• Flexible Loaders: Load templates from strings or the filesystem
• Undefined Variable Handling: Different strategies for handling undefined variables
• Expressions: Support for mathematical operations, comparisons, and concatenation

Usage

use ByJG\JinjaPhp\Template;
use ByJG\JinjaPhp\Undefined\DebugUndefined;

$templateString = <<<EOT
Hello {{ name }}
EOT;

$template = new Template($templateString);
$template->withUndefined(new DebugUndefined());  // Default is StrictUndefined

$variables = [
    'name' => 'World'
];
echo $template->render($variables);
