Engine Methods

timeout()

The lifetime determines the maximum lifetime for the views cache.

An integer of 0 or less means that the cache will be refreshed each time.

Loads and executes the specified view file.

public function parse(string $name, array|object $data = []): void

public function compress(bool $compress = false): self

Note : It simply means deleting multiple spaces in the cache file.

It allows you to add directives suitable for your own project.

public function directive(string $directive, \Closure $closure): self

See Custom Directives for details.

Form

@form('action.php', 'POST')
    @label('Username', 'username')
    @input('username', 'text', ['id' => 'username'])
    
    @label('Password', 'password')
    @input('password', 'password', ['id' => 'password'])
    
    @label('Biography', 'bio')
    @textarea('biography', '', ['id' => 'bio'])
    
    @label('Gender', 'gender')
    @select('sex', ['man' => 'Man', 'woman' => 'Woman', 'other' => 'Other'], ['id' => 'gender'], 'other')
    
    @button('Reset', ['type' => 'reset']);
    
    @submit('Login')
@endform

The html form example that the above example would produce should look like this.

<form action="action.php" method="POST">
    <label for="username">Username</label>
    <input type="text" name="username" id="username" />
    
    <label for="password">Password</label>
    <input type="password" name="password" id="password" />
    
    <label for="bio">Biography</label>
    <textarea name="biography" id="bio"></textarea>
    
    <label for="gender">Gender</label>
    <select name="sex" id="gender">
        <option value="man">Man</option>
        <option value="woman">Woman</option>
        <option value="other" selected>Other</option>
    </select>
    
    <button type="reset">Reset</button>
    <input type="submit" value="Login" />
</form>

Custom Directives

$iceEngine->directive('style', function($href = null){
    if($href !== null){
        return '<link rel="stylesheet" href="'.$href.'">';
    }
    return '<style>';
});

$iceEngine->directive('endstyle', function(){
   return '</style>';
});

Usage of the above directives would look like this;

@style('https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css')

@style
body{
    background: #fff;
}
@endstyle

In this example, IceEngine generates HTML like this:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<style>
    body{
        background: #fff;
    }
</style>
