PHP Renderer

This is a renderer for rendering PHP view scripts into a PSR-7 Response object. It works well with Slim Framework 3.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) risks

Note that PHP-View has no built-in mitigation from XSS attacks. It is the developer's responsibility to use htmlspecialchars() or a component like zend-escaper. Alternatively, consider Twig-View.

Templates

You may use $this inside your php templates. $this will be the actual PhpRenderer object will allow you to render sub-templates

Installation

Install with Composer:

composer require slim/php-view

Usage with Slim 3

use Slim\Views\PhpRenderer;

include "vendor/autoload.php";

$app = new Slim\App();
$container = $app->getContainer();
$container['renderer'] = new PhpRenderer("./templates");

$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($request, $response, $args) {
    return $this->renderer->render($response, "/hello.php", $args);
});

$app->run();

Usage with any PSR-7 Project

//Construct the View
$phpView = new PhpRenderer("./path/to/templates");

//Render a Template
$response = $phpView->render(new Response(), "/path/to/template.php", $yourData);

Template Variables

You can now add variables to your renderer that will be available to all templates you render.

// via the constructor
$templateVariables = [
    "title" => "Title"
];
$phpView = new PhpRenderer("./path/to/templates", $templateVariables);

// or setter
$phpView->setAttributes($templateVariables);

// or individually
$phpView->addAttribute($key, $value);

Data passed in via ->render() takes precedence over attributes.

$templateVariables = [
    "title" => "Title"
];
$phpView = new PhpRenderer("./path/to/templates", $templateVariables);

//...

$phpView->render($response, $template, [
    "title" => "My Title"
]);
// In the view above, the $title will be "My Title" and not "Title"

Exceptions

\RuntimeException - if template does not exist

\InvalidArgumentException - if $data contains 'template'
