Symfony Smarty Extension

Use Smarty in your templates.

Installation

Install using composer:

composer require 'vierwd/symfony-smarty'

Usage in controllers

To use smarty templates for your controller just extend the Vierwd\Symfony\Smarty\Controller\SmartyController. You can then use $this->render('error/error.tpl') to render a Smarty template.

Example

// src/Controller/IndexController.php
namespace App\Controller;

use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Response;
use Symfony\Component\Routing\Annotation\Route;

use Vierwd\Symfony\Smarty\Controller\SmartyController;

class IndexController extends SmartyController {

	/**
	 * @Route("/", name="index")
	 */
	public function index(Request $request): Response {
		return $this->render('index/index.tpl', ['message' => 'Hello from Smarty']);
	}
}

{* templates/index/index.tpl *}

{$message}

Pre-defined variables

There are some variables, that are always available to your templates:

Variable Name	Contents
app	Symfony\Bridge\Twig\AppVariable
tagRenderer	Symfony\WebpackEncoreBundle\Asset\TagRenderer
imageService	An image service which can be used to scale images using imagemagick
authChecker	AuthorizationCheckerInterface

Pre-defined smarty functions, blocks and modifiers
