FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:

If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

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 PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

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.

Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package view-contract

View Contract

A minimal and engine‑agnostic view contract for PHP. It provides a clean interface for alias‑based view resolution, global data sharing, and unified rendering, allowing any template engine (Twig, Blade, Plates, Latte, Mustache, etc.) to integrate effortlessly.

✨ Features

Alias‑based view resolution
Use short identifiers like admin:index mapped to real filesystem paths..
Global shared data
Inject variables available to all views during the request lifecycle.
Engine‑agnostic design
Works with any rendering engine — PHP native, Twig, Blade, Plates, Latte, Mustache, or custom engines.
Minimal API
Only three methods: alias(), share(), and render().
Framework‑friendly
Designed to be embedded into any PHP framework or micro‑framework.

📦 Installation

🧠 Why?

Most PHP view systems are tightly coupled to a specific engine or framework.
This package provides a unified contract that allows developers to:

swap rendering engines without changing application code
organize views using clean aliases instead of hardcoded paths
share global data in a predictable and framework‑agnostic way
build custom view layers with minimal boilerplate

If you want a simple, elegant, engine‑agnostic view layer — this contract is the foundation.
