A ProcessWire module adding Latte to the TemplateEngineFactory.
- ProcessWire
3.0
or newer - TemplateEngineFactory
2.0
or newer - PHP
7.1
or newer - Composer
Execute the following command in the root directory of your ProcessWire installation:
composer require daun/template-engine-latte:^1.0
This will install the TemplateEngineLatte and TemplateEngineFactory modules in one step. Afterwards, don't forget to enable Latte as engine in the TemplateEngineFactory module's configuration.
ℹ️ This module includes test dependencies. If you are installing on production with
composer install
, make sure to pass the--no-dev
flag to omit autoloading any unnecessary test dependencies!.
The module offers the following configuration:
Template files suffix
The suffix of the Latte template files, defaults tolatte
.Default layout file
Layout that all views will extend from unless overwritten.Provide ProcessWire API variables in Latte templates
API variables ($pages
,$input
,$config
...) are accessible in Latte, e.g.{$config}
for the config API variable.Simplified path resolution
Enable Blade-style dot syntax for directory traversal. See below.Auto refresh templates (recompile)
Recompile templates whenever the source code changes.
This option will enable two things:
- Allow dot syntax for directory traversal à la Blade.
- Prepend the base view directory to all paths, eliminating the need for endless
../
in subdirectories.
Both of these will resolve to site/templates/views/partials/navigation.latte
:
- Normal resolution:
{include '../../partials/navigation.latte'}
- Simplified resolution enabled:
{include 'partials.navigation'}
It is possible to extend Latte after it has been initialized by the module. Hook the method TemplateEngineLatte::initLatte
to register custom macros, filters, functions etc.
Here is an example how you can use the provided hook to add custom macros and filters.
wire()->addHookAfter('TemplateEngineLatte::initLatte', function (HookEvent $event) {
/** @var Latte\Engine */
$latte = $event->arguments('latte');
$compiler = $latte->getCompiler();
// Add filter
$latte->addFilter('lower', function ($str) { return strtolower($str); });
// Add macro
$compiler->addMacro('ifispage',
'if (get_class(%node.word) === "ProcessWire\Page" && %node.word->id) {',
'}');
});
The above hook can be put in your
site/init.php
file. If you prefer to use modules, put it into the module'sinit()
method and make sure that the module is auto loaded.
