Symfony 5.1 Liquid Bundle - template engine for PHP

Liquid is a PHP port of the Liquid template engine for Ruby, which was written by Tobias Lutke. Although there are many other templating engines for PHP, including Smarty (from which Liquid was partially inspired)

Why Liquid?

Why another templating library?

Liquid was written to meet three templating library requirements: good performance, easy to extend, and simply to use.

Installing

You can install this lib via composer:

composer require codemade-xyz/php-liquid-bundle

Example template

{% if products %}
	<ul id="products">
	{% for product in products %}
	  <li>
		<h2>{{ product.name }}</h2>
		Only {{ product.price | price }}

		{{ product.description | prettyprint | paragraph }}

		{{ 'it rocks!' | paragraph }}

	  </li>
	{% endfor %}
	</ul>
{% endif %}

How to use Liquid in Symfony

1. Connect bundle in file bundle.php or kernel.php

Example add in kernel.php

public function registerBundles()
{
    $bundles = array(
        ...
        new \CodeMade\LiquidBundle\LiquidBundle()
    );
    
    return $bundles;
}

2. Here is a simple example config

In config file add setting, if no values ​​are specified, then the default settings will be used.

liquid:
  cache: '%kernel.cache_dir%/liquid'
  default_path: '%kernel.project_dir%/templates'
  filter: App\Kernel\LiquidTemplateFilter
  include_suffix: 'tpl'
  include_prefix: ''
  tags:
    section: App\Kernel\LiquidTagSection
  paths:
    'App': '%kernel.project_dir%/templates/App'

3. In config file framework.yaml

Add setting in framework.yaml

framework:
  ...
  templating:
    engines: ['liquid']

4. Use the standard functions in the controller to process the template.

<?php
namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Bundle\FrameworkBundle\Controller\AbstractController;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

class Index extends AbstractController
{

    /**
     * @Route("/")
     */
    public function index()
    {
        return $this->render('@App/home', [
            'document' => [
                'title' => 'Home page'
            ]
        ]);

    }

}
