# Basic Twig Template Views Demo

This demo uses the Twig templating engine to create a simple PHP website skeleton

## Tech stack

* [PHP](https://www.php.net/): A popular general-purpose scripting language that is especially suited to web development

* [Composer](https://getcomposer.org/): A Dependency Manager for PHP

* [Twig](https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/): Template engine for PHP

## Installation

Make sure PHP and Composer are installed: 

Then clone this repo to your local hard drive. For example:

```sh

gh repo clone danpoynor/basic-twig-template-views-demo

```

or

```sh

git clone https://github.com/danpoynor/basic-twig-template-views-demo.git

```

Then `cd` into the project directory and run:

```sh

composer install

```

This will install the Twig templating engine and other dependencies.

## Usage

Use [MAMP](https://www.mamp.info/en/mamp) or other server to run the code in your browser. Be sure to use the `public` directory as the document root (where the `index.php` file is). Start the server and view the app at the url such as .

## Developer Notes on How This Project Was Initially Created

1. Ensure PHP and Composer are installed.

2. Create a new directory for your app and `cd` into it.

3. Then run the following command to get the latest version of Twig:

```sh

composer require "twig/twig:^3.0"

```

This will create the initial project structure:

```sh

├── composer.json

├── composer.lock

└── vendor

    ├── autoload.php

    ├── composer/

    ├── symfony/

    └── twig/

```

3. Open your IDE in the current directory with something like `code .`.

4. Create a `public` folder with an `index.php` file inside it.

5. Copy the [Basic API Usage](https://twig.symfony.com/doc/3.x/api.html) code from the documentation, or use something like this in the `index.php` file:

```php

 'Hello {{ name }}!',

));

$twig = new Twig_Environment($loader);

echo $twig->render('index', array('name' => 'Fabien'));

```
