Template

The Template is an optional component for Slytherin in handling HTML-like views. Although PHP as the programming language is a template engine, having an abstract for the said template engine can add additional features such as separating concerns between the data and its corresponding view template.

Example Code

Slytherin provided its own Template component. The said component is implemented by the Rougin\Slytherin\Template\RendererInterface:

namespace Rougin\Slytherin\Template;

interface RendererInterface
{
    /**
     * Renders a template.
     *
     * @param  string               $template
     * @param  array<string, mixed> $data
     * @return string
     */
    public function render($template, array $data = array());
}

// /views/hello.php

Hello world!

// app/web/index.php

use Rougin\Slytherin\Template\Renderer;

// Set the location of the template views ---
$path = __DIR__ . '/views';
// ------------------------------------------

$renderer = new Renderer($path);

echo $renderer->render('hello');

The example code above should return Hello world! after executing the said code in a terminal:

$ php app/web/index.php
Hello world!
