This plugin for the CakePHP Framework allows you to use the Twig, the flexible, fast, and secure template engine for PHP.
Apart from enabling you to use most of Twig's features the plugin is tightly integrated with the CakePHP view renderer giving you full access to helpers, objects and elements.
- Using Composer for dependency management
Download the current version as ZIP, unzip it and rename the extracted folder to twig. Then put the twig folder inside your plugins and you are done.
Just clone the repository directly into your plugins folder as twig.
$ git clone https://github.com/yappabe/cakephp-twig-view.git twig
This plugin now uses Composer to manage dependencies. Simply running "composer install" will fetch the required libraries.
Inside your app_controller.php add the following:
class AppController extends Controller {
public $view = 'Twig.Twig'; // use twig
}Now start by creating twig templates using the .tpl extension.
By default the view will render any existing .ctp like always but
will prefer the .tpl version if present. This means that, for example,
the index.ctp is used until you create a index.tpl at the same location.
That way you can upgrade existing views one at a time instead of having to rework all files at once.
Check the wiki for more details on features and usage.
