Glowy PHP

View

PACKAGES

View Package provides basic methods for creating extendable PHP Views.

Features

Installation

With Composer

composer require glowy/view

Usage

use Glowy\View\View;

// Create View instance using public method __construct()
$view = new View('welcome');

// Create View instance using global helper function view()
$view = view('welcome');

// Display View.
$view->display();

Extending

View are "macroable", which allows you to add additional methods to the View class at run time. For example, the following code adds a customMethod method to the View class: 

use Glowy\Strings\View;
use Glowy\Macroable\Macroable;

View::macro('customMethod', function($arg1 = 1, $arg2 = 1) {
    return $arg1 + $arg2;
});

$view = new View();

echo $view->customMethod();
echo $view->customMethod(2, 2);

The above example will output:

2
4

Escaping helpers 

echo e("<a href='test'>Test</a>");

// &lt;a href=&#039;test&#039;&gt;Test&lt;/a&gt;
