README

This is a module for integrating the Smarty template engine with Laminas.

Based on gkralik/zf3-smarty-module.

Installation with Composer

Installing via Composer is the only supported method.

$ composer require gkralik/laminas-smarty-module:^4.0.0

Add the module to your applications configuration to enable it:

'modules' => [
  'GKralik\SmartyModule',
  // ...
]

Usage

To enable the Smarty rendering strategy, it must be registered as a strategy with the Laminas ViewManager (eg. in the application's default module configuration):

use GKralik\SmartyModule\Strategy\SmartyStrategy;

return [
    // ...
    'view_manager' => [
        'strategies' => [
            /* Register view strategy with the view manager (REQUIRED). */
            SmartyStrategy::class,
        ],
    ],
];

Important: As of version 4.0.0, this is no longer done automatically.

Configuration

For information on supported options refer to the module config file.

There is also a sample configuration file with all available configuration options.

You can set options for the Smarty engine under the smarty_options configuration key (eg force_compile, etc).

Pay attention to the compile_dir and cache_dir keys. Smarty needs write access to the directories specified there.

Documentation

Using Zend Framework view helpers

Using view helpers of Laminas is supported. Just call the view helper as you would do in a PHTML template:

{$this->doctype()}

{$this->basePath('some/path')}
