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.

LiTE
Lightweight Template Engine

Installation
Via Composer
Usage
LiTE for Developers
Basics
The heart of LiTE is a object called the template expression (of class TPawl\LiTE\Expressions\TemplateExpression).
A template expression object is created like this:
This will create a template expression that looks up the view helpers in the /path/to/view_helpers/ folder.
Note that the only argument of the template expression is an array of settings options.
- The first option is the template as a string.
- The second option is an associative array of template variables, with the name of the variable as the key and its value.
- The third option is the path to the folder in which the view helpers are stored.
- The fourth option is the namespace in which the view helpers are defined as a string. If you do not use a namespace for your view helpers, write the empty string (
'') here.
Outputting the template
Defining a view helper
A view helper is a class that implements the interface TPawl\LiTE\ViewHelperInterface, that has a static execute method.
The name of that class must be ending with ViewHelper and the first letter must be upper-case.
The code for this class must be saved in a file with the name of the corresponding class with a trailing .php.
This file must be stored in a folder given as the third configuration option of the template expression.
Example:
$arguments is an indexed array of arguments that can be given to the view helper.
Output in the view helper can be done with echo, print, printf, ...
Sub template expression
Objects of the class TPawl\LiTE\Expressions\SubTemplateExpression are intended for use inside a view helper.
The constructor takes two arguments:
- The first argument is the template as a string.
- The second argument is an associative array of template variables, with the name of the variable as the key and its value.
Example:
Miscellaneous
To determine wether you are inside/outside of a view helper you can use the static method TPawl\LiTE\Context\Context::isEmpty().
It returns false if you are inside a view helper, true otherwise.
There is the class TPawl\LiTE\Version defined, that holds version information for LiTE.
It has the following constants defined:
MAJORfor the major version number (major release).MINORfor the minor version number (minor release).REVISIONfor the revision number (patch level).
Examples:
LiTE for Template Designers
Template variables
This defines a template variable with name foo.
The complete expression above is replaced by the value of the template variable foo.
View helpers
This calls the view helper BarViewHelper with no arguments.
If you have arguments, you have to write them as a comma separated list between the parentheses after bar.
Example: ``
The complete expression above is replaced by the output of the view helper BarViewHelper.
Predefined view helpers
There is the view helper _xmlViewHelper predefined.
It is called like this:
This will convert to <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>.
It is useful if you want to output XML.
Example
Save the following view helper to a file named MsgViewHelper.php in any folder:
Suppose you have the following script in the same folder as the above view helper:
If you call the above script in the browser, one possible output could be:
