The Smarty/Smarty package is an incredibly powerful templating engine specifically designed for PHP. It promotes the clean segregation of presentation elements (HTML/CSS) from the actual application logic. This simplifies the development process, as it provides developers with a tool to manage front-end elements and back-end processes separately, enhancing efficiency and maintainability.
To get started with Smarty/Smarty, you will first need to install it using Composer, a popular dependency management tool for PHP. You can install the latest stable version of Smarty with the following command:
composer require smarty/smarty
Once Smarty is installed, you can start templating right away. For example:
require_once('libs/Smarty.class.php');
$smarty = new Smarty;
$smarty->assign('name', 'John Doe');
$smarty->display('index.tpl');
In the above example, 'name' is a variable assigned a value 'John Doe', which can now be used in your index.tpl template.
For more advanced usage and best practices, refer to the 'Getting Started' section in the documentation.
Detailed documentation on how to fully leverage Smarty is available online on https://smarty-php.github.io/smarty/. Here, you can find in-depth articles and guides covering everything from basic use-cases to more advanced features. The documentation is clearly structured and designed to be accessible for both beginners and experienced developers.
