Yamte - Yet Another Minimalistic Template Engine

About

Yamte is a simple template engine built in PHP, based on VTemplate. Whereas the code syntax has been kept in its majority, the engine has been fully rebuilt with functionalities provided by PHP5.3 (which is required, naturally !).

HTML syntax

Defining variables in the code

<h1>{#var_title}</h1>
<p>{#var_content}</p>

Adding contexts

<table>
<!--YAT_my_context-->
  <tr><td>{#first_table_data}</td><td>{#second_table_data}</td></tr>
<!--/YAT_my_context-->
</table>

PHP syntax

Adding the template to the page and instanciate the class :

<?php
require_once 'path/to/Yamte.php';
try {
  $tpl = new yamte\Yamte('path/to/template.tpl');

Setting variables value in the php side

$tpl->setVariable('var_title', 'Hello world');
$tpl->setVariable('var_content', "This is my content. Nice, isn't it ?");

Using contexts in the php code (For example in a for loop)

for($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
  $tpl->openContext('my_context');
  $tpl->setVariable('my_context.first_table_data', $i);
  $tpl->setVariable('my_context.second_table_data', $i * 2);
  $tpl->closeContext('my_context');
}

Ending the try-catch data

} catch (yamte\YAException $e) {
  echo $e->getTraceData();
}
