#CI Smarty

##CodeIgniter Smarty Bridge

Features

• Use familiar CodeIgniter templating idioms:

  • Render a single template:

    $CI->smarty->parse('help_template', $data, FALSE);

  • Render and embed one template in another:

    $CI->smarty->load('customer_template', 'customer/edit', $data, FALSE);

  • Render and embed a set templates:

    $sections = array('header' => 'customer/header', 'content' => 'customer/edit', 'footer' => 'customer/footer'); $CI->smarty->load('customer_template', $sections, $data, FALSE);

• PHP Interoperability:

  • Render an existing view.php file:

    $CI->smarty->parse('view.php', $data, FALSE);

  • Render a Smarty template with embedded <?php ... ?> tags:

    $CI->smarty->parse('template.tpl', $data, FALSE);

  • CodeIgniter Form_Helper plugin exposes helpers in Smarty, such as:

    {form_open action="customer/add"} {form_input data=$customer.name}

  • Include php code from smarty:

    {include file='navigation.php'}

• Easy configuration:

  • Set Smarty preferences in config/smarty.php

    $config['template_dir'] = APPPATH . "views/";

  • For convenience, add to your config/autoload.php:

    $autoload['libraries'] = array(..., 'smarty');
