Installation

$ composer require mouf/html.renderer ^2

The easiest way to use this package is through a dependency injection container compatible with container-interop/service-providers.

Once installed, you need to register the Mouf\Html\Renderer\RendererServiceProvider into your container.

If your container supports thecodingmachine/discovery integration, you have nothing to do. Otherwise, refer to your framework or container's documentation to learn how to register service providers.

Provided services

This service provider provides the following services:

Extended services

This service provider extends those services:

Mouf package

This package was originally part of Mouf (http://mouf-php.com), an effort to ensure good developing practices by providing a graphical dependency injection framework.

V2 makes the package framework-agnostic, so it can be used in any framework.

Basically, you will find in this package some Renderers. These are classes in charge of rendering other objects. They usually rely on template files, that contain the HTML to be rendered. Renderers can be chained, and the first renderer that knows how to render an object will be in charge of the rendering.

Troubleshooting

Your template or a custom template is not applied.

• Purge the cache with the red button in mouf.
• You use Ajax and you return html with echo (for example BCE).
  • By default an echo don't apply the template to make it
    • add the defaultRenderer (a class of Mouf\Html\Renderer\AutoChainRenderer) in your class
    • add your templateRenderer (a class of Mouf\Html\Renderer\FileBasedRenderer) in Bootstrap this is bootstrapRenderer
    • add the code before your call to the function toHTML: $this->defaultRenderer->setTemplateRenderer($this->templateRenderer);
