Contributing

• This is an open-source library, and contributions are welcome.
• If you have any suggestions, bug reports, or feature requests, please open an issue or submit a pull request on the project repository.

Requirement

• PHP version 8.0 or newer is required

Installation & Setup

• You can just download the code from repo and use or download using composer.

Download Using Composer

• If you don't have composer, install composer first.
• create file composer.json at your project root directory.
• Add this to composer.json

{
  "require": {
    "naingaunglwin-dev/view": "^1.0"
  }
}

• Run the following command in your terminal from the project's root directory:

composer install

• Or just run composer require naingaunglwin-dev/view in terminal.

Usage

• In your php file,

<?php

require_once "vendor/autoload.php";

use NAL\View\View;

$view = new View(__DIR__ . '/views');

// You can pass view file without extension if it is php file
$view->render('index', ['status' => 'success']);

// You can also render other file,
// You can retrieve the view without rendering,
$indexView = $view->render('index.html', [], true);

// You can also render multi views
$view->render(['index.html, test']);

• If you don't define your view path, View class will automatically set the view path to your project root level

Section Usage

• create one.php and two.php

• one.php

<?php //one.php

echo 'this is one.php';
$this->yield('content');

• two.php

<?php //two.php
$this->extends('one'); // view file name that need to extend

$this->section('content'); // Section start with `content` name

echo '<br>This is section content from two.php';

$this->end('content'); // End the section `content`

• index.php

<?php

require_once "vendor/autoload.php";

use NAL\View\View;

$view = new View(__DIR__ . '/views');

$view->render('two');

• Output will be

this is one.php
This is section content from two.php

Custom Renderer Engine

<?php
$view = new \NAL\View\View('path', MyCustomEngine::class);

$view->render('template'); // MyCustomEngine`s render method will be used in this process if exists
