README
A lightweight, regex based template rendering engine for PHP
Why this package is helpful?
Templex lets you define stubs and hydrate them using PHP variables. The engine uses regex for all processing — no eval(), no including and running code as PHP. This means you can safely generate new PHP files, config files, or any text-based content from templates.
Requirements
- PHP 8.5 or higher
Install
composer require myerscode/templex
Quick Start
use Myerscode\Templex\Templex; $templex = new Templex(__DIR__ . '/templates/', 'stub'); echo $templex->render('welcome', ['name' => 'Fred']);
Where templates/welcome.stub contains:
Hello <{ $name }>!
Documentation
- Templates — template syntax, file types, and configuration
- Slots — includes, conditions, loops, switch statements, and variables
