slimphp/PHP-View: A Simple PHP Renderer for Slim 3 & 4 (or any other PSR-7 project)

This is a renderer for rendering PHP view scripts into a PSR-7 Response object. It works well with Slim Framework 4.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) risks

Note that PHP-View has no built-in mitigation from XSS attacks. It is the developer's responsibility to use htmlspecialchars() or a component like laminas-escaper. Alternatively, consider Twig-View.

composer require slim/php-view
Usage with any PSR-7 Project 
//Construct the View
$renderer = new PhpRenderer('path/to/templates');

$viewData = [
    'key1' => 'value1',
    'key2' => 'value2',
];

// Render a template
$response = $renderer->render(new Response(), 'hello.php', $viewData);
use Slim\AppFactory;
use Slim\Views\PhpRenderer;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$app = AppFactory::create();

$app->get('/hello', function ($request, $response) {
    $renderer = new PhpRenderer('path/to/templates');
    
    $viewData = [
        'name' => 'John',
    ];
    
    return $renderer->render($response, 'hello.php', $viewData);
});

$app->run();

You can place the PhpRenderer instantiation within your DI Container.

<?php

use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;
use Slim\Views\PhpRenderer;
// ...

return [
    PhpRenderer::class => function (ContainerInterface $container) {
        $renderer = new PhpRenderer('path/to/templates');

        return $renderer;
    },
];

You can now add variables to your renderer that will be available to all templates you render.

// Via the constructor
$globalViewData = [
    'title' => 'Title'
];

$renderer = new PhpRenderer('path/to/templates', $globalViewData);

// or setter
$viewData = [
    'key1' => 'value1',
    'key2' => 'value2',
];
$renderer->setAttributes($viewData);

// or individually
$renderer->addAttribute($key, $value);

Data passed in via the render() method takes precedence over attributes.

$viewData = [
    'title' => 'Title'
];
$renderer = new PhpRenderer('path/to/templates', $viewData);

//...

$response = $renderer->render($response, $template, [
    'title' => 'My Title'
]);

// In the view above, the $title will be "My Title" and not "Title"

Inside your templates you may use $this to refer to the PhpRenderer object to render sub-templates. If using a layout the fetch() method can be used instead of render() to avoid applying the layout to the sub-template.

<?=$this->fetch('./path/to/partial.phtml', ['name' => 'John'])?>

You can now render view in another views called layouts, this allows you to compose modular view templates and help keep your views DRY.

Create your layout path/to/templates/layout.php

<html><head><title><?=$title?></title></head><body><?=$content?></body></html>

Create your view template path/to/templates/hello.php

Rendering in your code.

$renderer = new PhpRenderer('path/to/templates', ['title' => 'My App']);
$renderer->setLayout('layout.php');

$viewData = [
    'title' => 'Hello - My App',
    'name' => 'John',
];

//...

$response = $renderer->render($response, 'hello.php', $viewData);

Response will be

<html><head><title>Hello - My App</title></head><body>Hello John!</body></html>

Please note, the $content is special variable used inside layouts to render the wrapped view and should not be set in your view parameters.

It's essential to ensure that the HTML output is secure to prevent common web vulnerabilities like Cross-Site Scripting (XSS). This package has no built-in mitigation from XSS attacks.

The following function uses the htmlspecialchars function with specific flags to ensure proper encoding:

function html(?string $text = null): string
{
    return htmlspecialchars($text ?? '', ENT_QUOTES | ENT_SUBSTITUTE, 'UTF-8');
}

You could consider setting it up as a global function in composer.json.
