Symfony Viewable Bundle

Installation:

Register bundle

register bundle in AppKernel.php

new Etudor\ViewableBundle\EtudorViewableBundle(),

Usage: in this example post is an object, instance of Post entity, passed to the view

Inside twig: this

• will try to render the Post/base.html.twig

{{ post|view }}

• will try render Post/custom_view.html.twig

{{ post|view('custom_view') }}

• will try render Post/custom_view.html.twig with params

{{ post|view('custom_view', {'param1': param1, 'param2': param2, 'iAmParam': 'testParamString'} }}

Inside twig with collection or array: many

when the variable you are trying to render is a array of objects or an instance of Collection.

• will render Post/Listing/base.html.twig

{{ posts|view }}

• will render Post/Listing/custom_view.html.twig

{{ posts|view('custom_view') }}

• will try render Post/Listing/custom_view.html.twig with params

{{ posts|view('custom_view', {'param1': param1, 'param2': param2, 'iAmParam': 'testParamString'} }}

Access object inside view

• if object access with: this

Post/base.html.twig
<h1>{{ this.title }}</h1>

• if array or collection access with: many

Post/Listing/base.html.twig
{% for post in many %}
    <div clsas="post">
        {{ post|view }}
    </div>
{% endfor %}

Roadmap:

• add accesors for object. Add posibility to register custom accesors for objects. For example: you have a Post entity. For the Post with id: 50 you want a custom view. Register an accesor with $post->getId() and for every view rendered for an Post object the extension will try to find the view with name _50.html.twig

{{ post|view }} -> will render Post/base_50.html.twig if it exists (will fallback to Post/base.html.twig)

{{ post|view('custom_view') }} -> will render Post/custom_view_50.html.twig if it exists (will fallback to Post/custom_view.html.twig)

Let's say for example you want different view for posts from category: "Games"

• register an accesor for $post->getCategory->getSlug()

{{ post|view }} -> will render Post/base_games.html.twig

{{ post|view('custom_view') }} -> will render Post/custom_view_games.html.twig

• add posibility to register accesors with priority
• add posibility to generate mixed accesors: $post->getId() % 2 != 0 ? 'odd' : 'even'; and $post->getCategory()->getSlug() will render Post/base_games_odd.html.twig if the post id is odd and Post/base_games_even.html.twig if post id is even
