A small, lightweight utility to render templates
composer require juanchosl/templaterender
Load composer autoload and use the JuanchoSL\TemplateRender class
$template_render = new TemplateRender(TEMPLATES_DIR, 'tpl.php');
$templates_render->setVar('title','Title of the page');
echo $templates_render->render('index', ['subtitle' => 'This is a subtitle']);
On index.tpl.php we can have:
<h1><?= $this->getVar('title'); ?></h1>
<h2><?= $this->getVar('subtitle'); ?></h2>
We can include other templates from the original templates using fetch method, for use menu.tpl.php
<h1><?= $this->getVar('title'); ?></h1>
<h2><?= $this->getVar('subtitle'); ?></h2>
<?php $this->fetch('menu'); ?>
