Custom Views

The Slim Framework provides a default View class that uses PHP template files by default. This folder includes custom View classes that you may use with alternative template libraries, such as Twig, Smarty, or Mustache.

TwigView

The TwigView custom View class provides support for the Twig template library. You can use the TwigView custom View in your Slim application like this:

<?php
require 'slim/Slim.php';
require 'views/TwigView.php';
$app = new Slim(array(
	'view' => 'TwigView'
));
//Insert your application routes here
$app->run();
?>

You will need to configure the TwigView::$twigOptions and TwigView::$twigDirectory class variables before using the TwigView class in your application. These variables can be found at the top of the views/TwigView.php class definition.

MustacheView

The MustacheView custom View class provides support for the Mustache template language and the Mustache.php library. You can use the MustacheView custom View in your Slim application like this:

<?php
require 'slim/Slim.php';
require 'views/MustacheView.php';
MustacheView::$mustacheDirectory = 'path/to/mustacheDirectory/';
$app = new Slim(array(
	'view' => 'MustacheView'
));
//Insert your application routes here
$app->run();
?>

Before you can use the MustacheView class, you will need to set MustacheView::$mustacheDirectory. This property should be the relative or absolute path to the directory containing the Mustache.php library.

SmartyView

The SmartyView custom View class provides support for the Smarty template library. You can use the SmartyView custom View in your Slim application like this:

<?php
require 'slim/Slim.php';
require 'views/SmartyView.php';
$app = new Slim(array(
	'view' => 'SmartyView'
));
//Insert your application routes here
$app->run();
?>

You will need to configure the SmartyView::$smartyDirectory, SmartyView::$smartyCompileDirectory , SmartyView::$smartyCacheDirectory and optionally SmartyView::$smartyTemplatesDirectory, class variables before using the SmartyView class in your application. These variables can be found at the top of the views/SmartyView.php class definition.
