View package for Bone Framework

installation

Bone View is a core dependency of Bone Framework, you install Bone via the skeleton project delboy1978uk/bonemvc

usage

bone-view uses league/plates as its view engine, see the docs for that. To get an instance of the view engine from the dependency injection container, call $container->get(ViewEngine::class). You can also simply extend Bone\Controller\Controller and pass through Init::controller($controller) to get a ViewEngine injected in your class instance.

layouts

Your app by default has layouts in src/App/View/layouts. You can switch layouts in your controller by adding a layout header to your response like so:

return $response->withHeader('layout', 'layouts::your-template');

view extensions

alert box

From a view file, you can call

$this->alertBox($messages);

where messages is an array of variable length, but the last is the bootstrap alert-* class, so a value like info, danger, warning, success, etc.

view helpers

alert box

The view extension just calls this class Bone\View\Helper\AlertBox, but you can instantiate it and call it yourself.

$alert = new \Bone\View\Helper\AlertBox();
echo $alert->alertBox(['Great success!', 'success']);

Paginator

This should be moved into its own package (imho), however this will render bootstrap compatible paginator nav HTML.

<?php

$viewHelper = new \Bone\View\Helper\Paginator();
$viewHelper->setCurrentPage(3); // this number will come from the url
$viewHelper->setUrl('/some/page/:number'); // this is the url you are generating
$viewHelper->setUrlPart(':number'); // this is the part of the url you will replace with the page number
$viewHelper->setPageCount(10); // this is the total number of pages
$viewHelper->setPageCountByTotalRecords(50, 10); // Or pass in a row count and num per page to set page count
$viewHelper->setPagerSize(5);  // this is the number of pages directly clickable in the generated pager
$pagination = $viewHelper->render();
