Stempler template engine fully exposes template AST (DOM) and provides API for the modifications similar to https://github.com/nikic/PHP-Parser.
You can create magical (in both ways) workflows and helpers by implementing your Node Visitors.
Note
You can read more about how traversing works here.
To create an AST visitor, you must implement interface provided by the Stempler engine
Spiral\Stempler\VisitorInterface
.We will try to create visitor which automatically adds alt
attribute to all img
tags found in your templates:
use Spiral\Stempler\Node\HTML;
use Spiral\Stempler\VisitorContext;
use Spiral\Stempler\VisitorInterface;
class AltImageVisitor implements VisitorInterface
{
public function enterNode($node, VisitorContext $ctx)
{
}
public function leaveNode($node, VisitorContext $ctx)
{
if ($node instanceof HTML\Tag && $node->name === 'img') {
$alt = null;
foreach ($node->attrs as $attr) {
if ($attr->name === 'alt') {
$alt = $attr;
break;
}
}
if ($alt === null) {
$node->attrs[] = new HTML\Attr('alt', '"this is image alt"');
}
}
}
}
Note
You can inject other tags or even PHP into your templates.
Call StemplerBootloader
->addVistitor
to register visitors in the template engine. We can do it using application
bootloader:
namespace App\Bootloader;
use App\Visitor\AltImageVisitor;
use Spiral\Boot\Bootloader\Bootloader;
use Spiral\Stempler\Bootloader\StemplerBootloader;
class AltImageBootloader extends Bootloader
{
public function boot(StemplerBootloader $stempler)
{
$stempler->addVisitor(AltImageVisitor::class);
}
}
Note
You have to clean view cache to view newly applied changes.
Now all the img
tags will always include alt
attribute.
You can use the Stempler to process any HTML content.
use Spiral\Stempler;
$parser = new Stempler\Parser();
$parser->addSyntax(
new Stempler\Lexer\Grammar\HTMLGrammar(),
new Stempler\Parser\Syntax\HTMLSyntax()
);
$template = $parser->parse(new Stempler\Lexer\StringStream("<BODY>content</BODY>"));
$traverser = new Stempler\Traverser();
$traverser->addVisitor(new CustomVisitor());
$template->nodes = $traverser->traverse($template->nodes);
$compiler = new Stempler\Compiler();
$compiler->addRenderer(new Stempler\Compiler\Renderer\CoreRenderer());
$compiler->addRenderer(new Stempler\Compiler\Renderer\HTMLRenderer());
dump($compiler->compile($template)->getContent());
