Plates Template Integration for Slim micro framework 3

Render your Slim 3 application views using Plates template engine.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require projek-xyz/slim-plates --prefer-dist

Requires Slim micro framework 3 and PHP 5.5.0 or newer.

Usage

// Create Slim app
$app = new \Slim\App();

// Fetch DI Container
$container = $app->getContainer();

// Register Plates View helper:
// Option 1, using PlatesProvider
$container->register(new \Projek\Slim\PlatesProvider);

// Option 2, using Closure
$container['view'] = function ($c) {
    $view = new \Projek\Slim\Plates([
        // Path to view directory (default: null)
        'directory' => 'path/to/views',
        // Path to asset directory (default: null)
        'assetPath' => 'path/to/static/assets',
        // Template extension (default: 'php')
        'fileExtension' => 'tpl',
        // Template extension (default: false) see: http://platesphp.com/extensions/asset/
        'timestampInFilename' => false,
    ]);

    // Set \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface object
    // Or you can optionaly pass `$c->get('response')` in `__construct` second parameter
    $view->setResponse($c->get('response'));

    // Instantiate and add Slim specific extension
    $view->loadExtension(new Projek\Slim\PlatesExtension(
        $c->get('router'),
        $c->get('request')->getUri()
    ));

    return $view;
};

// Define named route
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    return $this->view->render('profile', [
        'name' => $args['name']
    ]);
})->setName('profile');

// Run app
$app->run();

NOTE:

• If you are using option 1 please make sure you already have $container['settings']['view'] in your configuration file.
• Plates::setResponse() is required to use Plates::render() otherwise \LogicException will thrown.

Custom functions

This component exposes some Slim functions to your Plates templates.

You can use this function to generate complete URLs to any Slim application named route. Example:

<?php $this->layout('base-template') ?>

<?php $this->start('body') ?>
<h1>Hallo <?=$this->e($name)?></h1>
<small><?=$this->pathFor('profile', ['name'=> $name])?></small>
<?php $this->stop() ?>

baseUrl($permalink = '')

<a href="<?=$this->baseUrl()?>">Some Link</a>

Or you can pass a permalink

<a href="<?=$this->baseUrl('some/path')?>">Some Other Link</a>
