Глаза is a very basic view handler and parser for PHP views.
Installing can be done through Composer:
composer require ElvenSpellmaker/Glaza
If you don't want to use Composer, then clone the repo and include the provided AutoLoader: ```php`
set( 'foo', 'World!' ); ``` Views can contain other views too: ```php` $view->set('bar', new View( 'NestedView' ) ); ``` ### Rendering A View In `ViewTestHtml.php` is the code: ```php Hello</body>
Rendering Views is really easy. Either call their render method, or typecast them to a string, either by an explicit cast (string) or by trying to echo the view: echo $view.
Note: Views are rendered from the inside-out, which while it makes sense is worth pointing out.
Using the above exmaple the output is shown below:
<html>
<body>
Hello World!
</body>
</html>Consider the following code: ```php` $view->set('foo', 'Not Bold');
The above will render as `<b>Not Bold</b>` --> <b>Not Bold</b> because by default `htmlspecialchars()` is used to sanitise input.
In order to override this, pass `false` as the third argument to `View::set`:
```php`
$view->set('foo', '<b>Bold</b>', false);
This will render as <b>Bold/b> --> Bold which might be what you wanted!
It's very likely you want to find your views in other directories and this is possible in two ways:
- Specify the full path to the View as you create the View:
$view = new View( '/full/path/to/view' ); - Use the
ViewManagerclass and add paths to search through. (This will be ultimately slower especially with the more paths that are added)
An example of method 2 is shown below:
use ElvenSpellmaker\Глаза\ViewManager;
ViewManager::addViewPath( __DIR__ ); // Adds the current script's path to the ViewManager.Now when you create a new view it will first search the current working directory and then search the added directory.
The order the directories are searched in is the order in which they are added. It it possible to add the path to be added to the beginning of the path list, by passing false to ViewManager::addViewPath as a second parameter. This will array_unshift the path to the front of the list.
