Atomic view and layout engine for PHP 5.4 and above.

Usage

To use SliPHP please configure the global constant SLIPHP_VIEWS and set it to the directory where your views, layouts and blocks are located.

Installation

composer require sbstjn/sliphp

Basics

As mentioned above, just configure the needed constant and you are good to go …

define ('SLIPHP_VIEWS', '/var/www/views/');

The folder structure inside your SLIPHP_VIEWS path should look something like this:

/var/www/views/index.php (View)
/var/www/views/layouts/default.php (Layout)
/var/www/views/blocks/header.php (Block)

Views

It's that simple to render a view from your SLIPHP_VIEWS folder:

$view = new SliPHP\View('index');
die($view);

Your index.php could look like this:

<strong>Hi!</strong>

Layouts

Of course you want to have a separate file for your layout, which will be wrapped around your index view:

$layout = new SliPHP\Layout('default');
$layout->body(new SliPHP\View('index'));

die($layout);

Your layouts/default.ph file could look like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <title>SliPHP</title>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
  </head>
  <body><?=$view->body()?></body>
</html>

As you might guess, the content of your view gehts inserted inside the body tag. Woho, Magic …

Blocks

For sure SliPHP supports loading single files and have them rendered into your views and layouts. We call them blocks, just use the ->block() method for loading them:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-US">
  <head>
    <title>SliPHP Example</title>
    <?=$view->block('header')?>
  </head>
  <body><?=$view->body()?></body>
</html>

Your blocks/header.php could look like this:

<meta charset="utf-8" />

Blocks can load other blocks as well, so feel free to move your styles and script to separate files for example:

<meta charset="utf-8" />

<?=$view->block('styles')?>
<?=$view->block('script')?>

Apply

If you want to apply a function or a list of functions to a data object, you can use the $view->apply function to modify your data:

<strong><?=$view->apply('KATZE', 'ucfirst|strtolower')?><?=$view->apply('KATZE', 'strtolower|ucfirst')?></strong>

Will be rendered into:

<strong>katzeKatze</strong>

Helper

There is built in support for custom helper functions in SliPHP, just define your helpers like this:

$view = new SliPHP\View('index');

$view->helper('strong', function($value) {
    return '<strong>' . $value . '</strong>';
});

And call them inside your views with:

<?=$view->strong('hi')?>

You can for example use this to easily include your stylesheets:

$view->helper('css', function($file) {
    return '<link rel="stylesheet" href="' . $file . '" type="text/css" charset="utf-8" />';
});

Locals

Of course you can pass data to your views, SliPHP calls them Locals

$view = new SliPHP\View('index');
$view->set('foo', 'value');

You can access all your data using the $data variable inside your layouts, views and of course blocks:

<?=$data->foo?>

It's also possible to share locals between your layout and your views:

$layout = new SliPHP\Layout('default');
$layout->set('foo', 'value');
$layout->body('index');

Inside your index view you can now easily access to layout's locals:

<?=$data->foo?>
