Standalone template renderer using templating engine from Zend Framework 2 - Zend\View.
You can use it to render PHTML files outside the context of ZF2 MVC, but with all Zend\View features: nested
templates, view helpers, etc.
Example use cases:
- generating HTML from command line applications
- rendering HTML e-mails
- using
Zend\Viewwithout other Zend Framework components
-
Install package using composer:
$ composer require mtymek/blast-view ~0.5 -
Add
Blast\Viewto module list in your system configuration (config/application.config.phpfile).
Blast\View uses configuration keys similar to regular Zend application. Currently you can configure two
options:
- location to view templates (
template_path_stackkey) - default layout (
layout_templatekey)
return [
'view_manager' => [
'layout_template' => 'layout/layout.phtml',
'template_path_stack' => [
__DIR__ . '/../view',
],
],
];Once installed, Blast\View module will register new service: Blast\View\View in application's main
ServiceManager. It can be easily pulled from there to render templates outside of ZF2 MVC:
use Zend\View\Model\ViewModel;
use Blast\View\View;
$viewModel = new ViewModel(
[
'name' => 'Mat'
]
);
$viewModel->setTemplate('index.phtml');
$view = $serviceManager->get(View::class);
echo $view->render($viewModel);Layout is just a parent ViewModel wrapping your main view script. It should be injected using setLayout() method
before rendering main template:
$layout = new ViewModel();
$layout->setTemplate('layout/layout.phtml');
$view->setLayout($layout);
$viewModel = new ViewModel();
$viewModel->setTemplate('index.phtml');
echo $view->render($viewModel);Layout template has the same structure as in ZF2:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $this->content ?>
</body>
</html>Blast\View supports custom view helpers via view_helpers configuration key, in the same
manner as ZF2 does. Here's an example config that registers foo view helper:
return [
'view_helpers' => [
'invokables' => [
'foo' => FooHelper::class,
]
],
];
