Folders
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
Folders make it really easy to organize and access your templates. Folders allow you to group your templates under different namespaces, each of which having their own file system path.
|
|
|
|
## Creating folders
|
|
|
|
To create folders, use the `addFolder()` method:
|
|
|
|
~~~ php
|
|
// Create new Plates instance
|
|
$templates = new League\Plates\Engine();
|
|
|
|
// Add folders
|
|
$templates->addFolder('admin', '/path/to/admin/templates');
|
|
$templates->addFolder('emails', '/path/to/email/templates');
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
## Using folders
|
|
|
|
To use the folders you created within your project simply append the folder name with two colons before the template name. For example, to render a welcome email:
|
|
|
|
~~~ php
|
|
$email = $templates->render('emails::welcome');
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
This works with template functions as well, such as layouts or nested templates. For example:
|
|
|
|
~~~ php
|
|
<?php $this->layout('shared::template') ?>
|
|
~~~
|
|
|
|
## Folder fallbacks
|
|
|
|
When enabled, if a folder template is missing, Plates will automatically fallback and look for a template with the **same** name in the default folder. This can be helpful when using folders to manage themes. To enable fallbacks, simply pass `true` as the third parameter in the `addFolders()` method.
|
|
|
|
~~~ php
|
|
// Create new Plates engine
|
|
$templates = new \League\Plates\Engine('/path/to/default/theme');
|
|
|
|
// Add themes
|
|
$templates->addFolder('theme1', '/path/to/theme/1', true);
|
|
$templates->addFolder('theme2', '/path/to/theme/2', true);
|
|
