FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package view
coroq/view
Renders plain PHP view template files with data.
Requirements
- PHP 8.0+
Installation
Quick Start
Suppose you have view templates organized like this:
In your code:
Your template file at view/welcome.php:
The included view/common/header.php:
Benefits
Centralized base directory: Define template directory once in the constructor, avoiding scattered __DIR__ . '/../../../view/...' paths.
String return: Returns rendered output as a string instead of echoing directly. Useful for creating PSR-7 responses. Eliminates manual ob_start() and ob_get_clean() wrapping.
Variable isolation: Template variables are isolated from controller logic. Templates receive only the variables they need. Variables are accessed directly as $username instead of $data['username'].
Usage
render()
render(string $template, array $data): string
Renders a template and returns the output as a string.
$template- Path to the template file, relative to the base directory. Must not contain absolute paths or directory traversal (../).$data- Associative array of variables to pass to the template. Keys become variable names.- Returns: The rendered HTML as a string.
include()
include(string $template, array $data): void
Renders a template and echoes the output directly. Use within templates as $this->include().
- Parameters: Same as
render(). - Returns: Nothing (outputs directly).
templateExists()
templateExists(string $template): bool
Checks if a template file exists.
$template- Same asrender().- Returns:
trueif the template file exists,falseotherwise.
Useful when rendering templates based on user-provided paths:
Subclass for helpers
Define reusable components as methods in a ViewRenderer subclass:
Template using helpers:
Multiple view classes
Separate view classes for different areas of your application:
HTML escaping
HTML escaping is out of scope for this library. You have three options:
1. Use htmlspecialchars() directly
2. Use an HTML handling library like coroq/html
3. Define escape method in ViewRenderer subclass
