Configuration

Designed Usage

Willow was designed to meet several specific developmental needs - the key aims are:

• Simplify process for UI developers who are not comfortable moving between PHP and html, by shifting all logic away from templates
• Provide global and granular control over display and format of data using template and file-based configuration options
• Be portable between environments, applications and projects
• Be lightweight and fast-loading ( via caching and reducing db requests for data fetching )

Template Configuration

The simplest way to pass configuration options to willows is via template arguments, which are passed inside the argument tag, as shown in the following simple example:

Pass html markup with variable to willow

{~ ui~example {+ "<div class='row'>{{ variable }}</div>" +} ~}

The results are only rendered if the php function ( ui::example in this case ) is found, is public, returns data and the data is in the correct format - which is an array of strings or an array of strings and arrays ( only indexed arrays are accepted, keys don't need to be sequential, but in some cases this will make things simpler ) - Read more about data collecting
