#What is it?
Just a simple Slim framework custom view (http://www.slimframework.com/documentation/develop#views) that is similar to how layout works in Sinatra (http://sinatra-book.gittr.com/#templates). I based this work on a rough draft in a Stack Overflow question and customized it to my needs for a personal project.
It's far from perfect, but it gets the job done. Feel free to pull request any new features!
#Usage
index.php
require 'Slim/Slim.php';
require 'custom_view.php';
$view = new custom_view();
$app = new Slim(array(
'mode' => 'development',
'view' => $view
));
$view->set_layout('base.php');
$app->get('/', function() use ($app, $view)
{
$view->set_data(array("title" => "Home"));
$app->render('home.php');
});
$app->run();
If you use PHP < 5.3, your route would look like that :
$app->get('/', 'root');
function root()
{
global $view;
global $layout_args;
$view->set_data(array("title" => "Home"));
$app->render('home.php');
}
templates/base.php
At the moment, you have to use $content in your layout to load up your view.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="fr">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8"/>
<title>Foo - <?php echo $title; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<?php echo $content; ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
