Download the PHP package habanero/tailor without Composer

What's Tailor?

Provides a common templating interface for partial rendering.

It comes with support for Twig, CoffeeScript, Jade, HAML, SCSS, LESS and Markdown out of the box. Written using Composer standards, PSR-friendly.

Using the composer

Just declare it on your composer.json file.

{
  "require": {
    "habanero/tailor": "dev-master"
  }
}

Then execute the composer to download and setup the latest version.

$ php composer.phar install

You can use Tailor along with your other composer scripts.

<?php

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

# configure before
\Tailor\Config::set('cache_dir', '/tmp');
\Tailor\Config::set('views_dir', __DIR__);

# go ahead!
\Tailor\Base::initialize();

# raw rendering
$tpl = '%a{ :href => "#" } Link';
$out = \Tailor\Base::parse('haml', $tpl);

echo $out; // <a href="#">Link</a>

# using as helper
function partial($path, array $vars = array()) {
  $tpl = \Tailor\Base::partial($path);
  $out = \Tailor\Base::render($tpl, $vars);

  return $out;
}

# full-view rendering
$out = partial('index.php', array('name' => 'Joe'));

echo $out; // Hello Joe!

If you want to use HAML with the code above you must have a file named index.php.haml on your specified ./views directory.

= "Hello $name!"

The template evaluation order its from right to left, it will stop if the filename contains one extension or the extension is not within any registered engine.

index.php.haml => haml-engine … continue
index.php => php-engine … stop!

Tailor's partial() method will only compile in order to preserve the original nature from its first extension, this is the main reason for using the render() method to finally get rendered our template.

Just fork-me!
