Slim UX Twig Component

A small integration to make building and using Twig Components easy in Slim Framework. It provides a custom Runtime and allows configuration of component paths as well as passing in more Twig namespaces/paths. As a caveat, installing this package, does pull in a number of Symfony packages. Makes use of vardumper/extended-htmldocument which adds improved HTML5 support to PHP - used for HTML5 attribute validation via Immutable Attribute Enums when using the pre-built Twig Components that are included in this package (for example <twig:A href="#" role="button">Inline Button</twig:A>). Also uses vardumper/html5-twig-component-bundle which holds these pre-built Twig Components for all HTML5 elements.

Features

• Works with Slim 4+ with and without DI Container
• Includes pre-made Twig Components for all HTML5 elements that are fully typesafe and support Alpine.js, ARIA, WCAG and HTML Living Standards.
• Supports class-based as well as anonymous Twig Components
• Supports <twig:Alert type="success" />, {{ component('Alert', { type: 'success'}) }} and {{ component 'Alert' with { type: 'success'} }} syntaxes

Requirements

• PHP 8.4+
• slim/slim 4+
• slim/twig-view for Twig Rendering

Installation

composer require vardumper/slim-ux-twig-component

Slim Setup

After you register Twig (slimphp/twig-view) in your application bootstrap, call the register method of SlimTwigComponent like so:

use Slim\Views\Twig;
use Vardumper\SlimTwigComponent\SlimTwigComponent;

$twig = Twig::create(__DIR__ . '/../templates', [
    'cache' =>  __DIR__ . '/../var/cache/twig',
]);

SlimTwigComponent::register(
    twig: $twig,
    // optional:
    namespacePaths: [
        'AdditionalNamespace' => __DIR__ . '../path/to/twig-component',
    ],
    // optional:
    componentPaths: [
        'App\\Twig\\Component\\' => __DIR__ . '/../src/Twig/Component',
    ],
);

By default, only Twig's main namepsace (usually a templates/ or view/ folder) is registered by the SlimTwigComponent class. Internally, the paths for the pre-made HTML5 Twig Components are registered. Use the optional $namespacePaths and $componentPaths to provide an array of additional folders and namespaces.

You can now add Anonymous components inside templates/components. For example: add an Alert.html.twig file:

<twig:Span class="alert alert-{{ type|default('success') }}">{{ message }}</twig:Span>

Now inside your Twig templates you can render components:

{% component 'Alert' with { type: 'warning', message: 'Something happened!' } %}
{% component('Alert', { type: 'success', message: 'All good!' }) %}
<twig:Alert type="success" message="Super duper!" />

Besides from strings, you can also pass objects and arrays to Twig Components. Learn more about Twig Components in the Symfony Documentation.

<twig:Alert :object='{ "key": "value" }' />
