Render your Slim 3 application views using Plates template engine.

Install

Via Composer

$ composer require projek-xyz/slim-plates --prefer-dist

Requires Slim micro framework 3 and PHP 5.5.0 or newer.

Usage

// Create Slim app
$app = new \Slim\App();

// Fetch DI Container
$container = $app->getContainer();

// Register Plates View helper:
// Option 1, using PlatesProvider
$container->register(new \Projek\Slim\PlatesProvider);

// Option 2, using Closure
$container['view'] = function ($c) {
    $view = new \Projek\Slim\Plates([
        // Path to view directory (default: null)
        'directory' => 'path/to/views',
        // Path to asset directory (default: null)
        'assetPath' => 'path/to/static/assets',
        // Template extension (default: 'php')
        'fileExtension' => 'tpl',
        // Template extension (default: false) see: http://platesphp.com/extensions/asset/
        'timestampInFilename' => false,
    ]);

    // Set \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface object
    // Or you can optionaly pass `$c->get('response')` in `__construct` second parameter
    $view->setResponse($c->get('response'));

    // Instantiate and add Slim specific extension
    $view->loadExtension(new Projek\Slim\PlatesExtension(
        $c->get('router'),
        $c->get('request')->getUri()
    ));

    return $view;
};

// Define named route
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    return $this->view->render('profile', [
        'name' => $args['name']
    ]);
})->setName('profile');

// Run app
$app->run();

NOTE:

• If you are using option 1 please make sure you already have $container['settings']['view'] in your configuration file.
• Plates::setResponse() is required to use Plates::render() otherwise \LogicException will thrown.
