Informations about the package twig-view
TwigView plugin for CakePHP
This plugin for the CakePHP Framework allows you to use the Twig Templating Language for your views.
In addition to enabling the use of most of Twig's features, the plugin is tightly integrated with the CakePHP view renderer giving you full access to helpers, objects and elements.
Installation
Make sure you have composer installed and configured with the autoloader registering during bootstrap as described here. Make sure you have a composer.json and add the following to your required section.
Cache Permissions
Make the default view-cache folder writeable.
APP/Plugin/TwigView/tmp/viewsAlternatively: Set where you want cache files to be stored.
Using the View Class
To make CakePHP aware of TwigView edit your APP/Controller/AppController.php file and add the following:
Be sure to load the TwigView plugin in your bootstrap.php file with:
or:
Now start creating view files using the .tpl extension.
Default Layouts
This plugin comes with all default layouts converted to Twig. Examples can be found in:
APP/Plugin/TwigView/examplesThemes
The plugin has support for themes and works just like the Theme view. Simply add the $theme property to your controller and you're set.
This will cause the view to also look in the Themed folder for templates. In the above example templates in the following directory are favored over their non-themed version.
APP/View/Themed/Rockstar/If you, for example, want to overwrite the Layouts/default.tpl file in the Rockstar theme, then create this file:
APP/View/Themed/Rockstar/Layouts/default.tplUsing Helpers inside Templates
All helper objects are available inside a view and can be used like any other variable inside Twig.
... where ...
Which is the equivalent of writing:
A more complex example, FormHelper inputs:
Referencing View Elements
Elements must be .tpl files and are parsed as Twig templates. Using .ctp is not possible.
In exchange for this limitation you can import elements as easy as this:
Translating Strings
The trans filter can be used on any string and simply takes the preceding string and passes it through the __() function.
`
This is the equivalent of writing:
Translating multiple lines
The trans-block element will help you with that. This is especially useful when writing email templates using Twig.
Accessing View Instance
In some cases it is useful to access $this, for example to build a DOM id from the current controller and action name.
The object is accessible through _view.
Precompiling all templates
Twig has to compile all the templates before they can be used. This adds a one time per template delay to the loading of a page. This can be countered by using the Compile Templates shell command. This commands scans for all the templates and compiles them with Twig for caching and performence gains.
