Background
I don't like compiled templates or specialized template languages. Smarty, Twig, etc. are all just too heavy-handed. I don't need a new language, and I don't need to "secure" my templates against designers on my team. I am generally happy with plain PHP as a template language.
However, I do find escaping tedious -- necessary, and easy enough, but tedious. A template helper to output escaped HTML, like this ...
... is not that bad -- but even so, it could be a little easier. Imagine this little bit of syntax sugar:
All that happens is that {{h ... }}
is replaced with <?= $this->h(...) ?>
.
Once that is in place, it becomes easy to support helpers, control structures,
and other code, all while keeping native PHP as the fallback syntax, because
the {{ ... }}
tags are essentially stand-ins for PHP tags.
Qiq really is PHP -- just with some syntax sugar when you want it.
History
Qiq's relatives include ...
- The Savant family:
- Solar_View
- Aura.View
- Laminas View (nee Zend_View)
This package is more closely related to Aura.View than to the pre-Composer versions of Savant, but does reintroduce the Savant compiler hook ideas.
