Native PHP template system: Plates

Plates is a native PHP template system that is very easy to use and extend, inspired by the Twig template engine, including modern template language features. Plates is primarily provided for developers who choose to use native PHP templates in the compilation template language.

Here are a simple example of what to use Plates. We'll assume the following directory stucture:

'--Path    '--to        '--templates            |--template.php            |--profile.php

Within your controller

Create new Plates instance$templates = new League\plates\engine ('/path/to/templates ');//Render a Templateecho $templa Tes->render (' profile ', [' name ' = ' Jonathan ']);

The page template

profile.php

 
  Layout (' template ', [' title ' = ' User profile '])?>
User profile
Hello, 
  
    E ($name)?>

The layout template

template.php

    <?= $this->e ($title)?>
 
  Section (' content ')?>
