Class TipyView

V in MVC. HTML template engine based on PHP output buffer and PHP itself

Templates are located in app/views directory
Templates are simple php files with .php extension.
Templates have variables defined in controller's TipyOutput instance and don't
have access to application context except TipyView instance represented by $this (see note below)

// app/controllers/BlogController.php
class BlogController extends TipyController {
    public function article() {
        $this->out('title', 'Hello');
        $this->out('message', 'World!');
    }
}

// app/views/blog/article.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title><?= $title ></title>
</head>
<body>
    <p><?= $title.' '.$message ?></p>
</body>
</html>

Custom template names

You can explicitely render views with custom names

// app/controllers/BlogController.php
class BlogController extends TipyController {
    public function article() {
        $this->out('title', 'Hello');
        $this->out('message', 'World!');
        $this->renderView('path/to/custom_template');
    }
}

Note about $this

$this is available inside template and gives access to TipyView instance which renders current template.

<ul>
    <li>
        <? $this->includeTemplate('item') ?>
    </li>
</ul>
