Download the PHP package keepsuit/liquid without Composer

PHP implementation of Liquid markup language

This is a PHP porting of the Shopify Liquid template engine.

If you are using laravel, you can use the laravel-liquid package.

Liquid is a template engine with interesting advantages:

• It is easy to learn and has a simple syntax.
• It is safe since it does not allow users to run insecure code on your server.
• It is extensible, allowing you to add your own filters and tags.

Shopify Liquid version compatibility

Differences from Shopify Liquid

• Error Modes are not implemented, the parsing is always strict.
• include tag is not implemented because it is deprecated and can be replaced with render.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

Usage

Create a new environment factory instance:

Then create a new template instance parsing a liquid template:

And finally render the template:

For advanced use cases, you can also stream the rendering output (still experimental):

Drops

Liquid support almost any kind of object but in order to have a better control over the accessible data in the templates, you can pass your data as Drop objects and have a better control over the accessible data. Drops are standard php objects that extend the Keepsuit\Liquid\Drop class. Public properties and public methods of the class will be accessible in the template as a property. You can also override the liquidMethodMissing method to handle undefined properties.

Liquid provides some attributes to control the behavior of the drops:

• Hidden: Hide the method or the property from the template, it cannot be accessed from liquid.
• Cache: Cache the result of the method, it will be called only once and the result will be stored in the drop.

If you implement the MapsToLiquid interface in your domain classes, the liquid renderer will automatically convert your objects to drops.

Advanced usage

Custom tags

To create a custom tag, you need to create a class that extends the Keepsuit\Liquid\Tag abstract class (or Keepsuit\Liquid\TagBlock if tag has a body).

[!NOTE] Take a look at the implementation of default tags to see how to implement parse and render methods.

Then you need to register the tag in the environment:

Custom filters

To create a custom filter, you need to create a class that extends the Keepsuit\Liquid\Filters\FiltersProvider abstract class.

Each public method of the class will be registered as a filter. You can "hide" a public method with the Hidden attribute, so it will not be registered as filter.

Then you need to register the filters provider in the environment:

Extensions

Extensions allow you to add custom tags, filters, and other features to the liquid environment.

To create a custom extension, you need to create a class that extends the Keepsuit\Liquid\Extensions\Extension abstract class.

Then you need to register the extension in the environment:

Custom tags and filters

By default, only the standard liquid tags and filters are available. But this package provides some custom tags and filters that you can use.

Tags

• DynamicRender: This tag replace the default Render tag and allows to render dynamic templates (eg. read template name from a variable).

Filters

• TernaryFilter
  • ternary: adds a ternary operator.
