Usage

Enabling Twig

add_filter( 'wpmt_engine', 'make_twig_engine', 2, 10 );
function make_twig_engine( $engine, $WPMT ) {
    $settings = array(
        'templatePath' => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates',
        'cachePath'    => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates/cache'
    );
	$engine = $WPMT->makeEngine('Twig', $settings);
	return $engine;
}

Enabling Blade

add_filter( 'wpmt_engine', 'make_blade_engine', 2, 10 );
function make_blade_engine( $engine, $WPMT ) {
    $settings = array(
        'templatePath' => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates',
        'cachePath'    => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates/cache'
    );
	$engine = $WPMT->makeEngine('Blade', $settings);
	return $engine;
}

Enabling Smarty

add_filter( 'wpmt_engine', 'make_smarty_engine', 2, 10 );
function make_smarty_engine( $engine, $WPMT ) {
    $settings = array(
        'templatePath' => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates',
        'cachePath'    => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates/cache',
        'compilePath'  => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates/compile',
        'configPath'   => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates/config',
    );
	$engine = $WPMT->makeEngine('Smarty', $settings);
	return $engine;
}

Enabling Mustache

add_filter( 'wpmt_engine', 'make_mustache_engine', 2, 10 );
function make_mustache_engine( $engine, $WPMT ) {
    $settings = array(
        'templatePath' => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates',
        'cachePath'    => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates/cache',
        'partialsPath' => get_stylesheet_directory() . '/templates/partials',
    );
	$engine = $WPMT->makeEngine('Mustache', $settings);
	return $engine;
}

Rendering templates

The plugin abstracts away the technicalities of all four templating engines and provides a consistent API for rendering. With the WordPress plugin enabled, you have access to the global variable $WPMT. Use it to get an instance of the templating engine you instanciated in the wpmt_engine hook

$twig = $WPMT->getEngine();
$data = [
    'wp_head'    => $WPMT->get('wp_head'),
    'wp_footer'  => $WPMT->get('wp_footer'),
    'body_class' => $WPMT->get('body_class'),
    'post'       => get_queried_object(),
];

echo $twig->render('single-post.html', $data);
