Mustache

Mustache.php

A Mustache implementation in PHP.

Usage

A quick example:

<?php
include('Mustache.php');
$m = new Mustache;
echo $m->render('Hello {{planet}}', array('planet' => 'World!'));
// "Hello World!"
?>

And a more in-depth example--this is the canonical Mustache template:

Hello {{name}}
You have just won ${{value}}!
{{#in_ca}}
Well, ${{taxed_value}}, after taxes.
{{/in_ca}}

Create a view object--which could also be an associative array, but those don't do functions quite as well:

<?php
class Chris {
    public $name = "Chris";
    public $value = 10000;

    public function taxed_value() {
        return $this->value - ($this->value * 0.4);
    }

    public $in_ca = true;
}
?>

And render it:

<?php
$chris = new Chris;
$m = new Mustache;
echo $m->render($template, $chris);
?>

Here's the same thing, a different way:

<?php
class Chris extends Mustache {
    public $name = "Chris";
    public $value = 10000;

    public function taxed_value() {
        return $this->value - ($this->value * 0.4);
    }

    public $in_ca = true;
}

$c = new Chris;
echo $chris->render($template);
?>

Known Issues

• Sections don't respect delimiter changes -- delimiters example currently fails with an "unclosed section" exception.
• Since complex example emulates some fancy swizzling available in Ruby, it fails. Need to convert example to PHPisms (In PHP, Mustache class doesn't maintain current context stack -- available context is passed to methods via params).
• Test coverage is incomplete.
