Twig-backed implementation of View and ViewFactory.

To use, include with Composer:

{
  "require": {
    "americanreading/view-twig": "^1",
    "twig/twig": "^2"
  }
}

Configure a Twig_Environment and pass this to the TwigView constructor along with the root path to the view templates.

$templateRoot = '/path/to/twig/template/files';
$loader = new \Twig_Loader_Filesystem($templateRoot);
$conf = [
    'debug' => true,
    'cache' => false,
    'autoescape' => false
];
$twig = new \Twig_Environment($loader, $conf);
// Provide a context array to use as a default for all views.
$defaultContext = [
  'cat' => 'Molly'
];
// Create the factory.
$factory = new TwigViewFactory($twig, $templateRoot, $defaultContext);

Use the factory to provide View instances for a given template file:

$view = $factory->getView('my-template.twig.html');

Render the view to a string, merging in a context array.

$html = $view->render(['dog' => 'Bear']);
