Create directory where all the view file will loaded. eg: views
the class has few method to be used in order to make your view work as expected.
assign
: help assign a value to the variable. It has two parameters, the first is the name of the variable and the second parameter is the value of the variable.render
: helps display the contents of your file. Is like a parameter, and it's the name of the file. Note: All files must be defined in the root directory of the view.setLayout
: help set the layout of the pages.
composer require wepesi/view
$view_dir = __DIR__."/views";
$view = new \Wepesi\App\View($view_dir);
$view->assign("title","Welcom to the main pages");
$view->render("/art");
In case you are want to set the layout, you should define the $contentpages
variable into your layout file where the view content will be applyed.
$view_dir = __DIR__."/views";
$view = new \Wepesi\App\View($view_dir);
$view->assign("title","Home page");
view->setLayout("/layout");
$view->render("/home");
No need to specify the extension in case it is a php file.
