How do you use Phalcon’s PhalconMvcViewEngine classes?

Here’s a minimal step-by-step guide on using Phalcon’s Phalcon\Mvc\View\Engine classes:

Step 1: Install Phalcon

  • Install Phalcon using Composer:

Example

composer require phalcon/devtools

Step 2: Set Up the View Component

  • Configure the View component in your DI container (e.g., app/config/services.php):

Example

<?php
use Phalcon\Mvc\View;

$di->setShared('view', function () {
    $view = new View();
    $view->setViewsDir('../app/views/'); // Set the views directory
    return $view;
});
?>

Step 3: Register a View Engine

  • Register a view engine, like Volt:

Example

<?php
use Phalcon\Mvc\View\Engine\Volt;

$di->setShared('view', function () {
    $view = new View();
    $view->setViewsDir('../app/views/');
    $view->registerEngines([
        '.volt' => function ($view, $di) {
            return new Volt($view, $di);
        },
    ]);
    return $view;
});
?>

Step 4: Create a View File

  • Create a Volt view file (e.g., app/views/index.volt):

Example

<h1>Hello, {{ name }}!</h1>

Step 5: Render the View

  • In a controller, set variables and let Phalcon render the view:

Example

<?php
class IndexController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->view->name = 'World'; // Pass data to the view
    }
}
?>
