A Wordpress plugin for using Mustache tempates.
This is just a very small wrapper around the excellent Mustache.php engine by Justin Hileman. Included in this repository (in /Mustache) is a complete copy of Mustache.php
It is the version from September 2014. If you would like to update to the newer version simply swap it out. However I can't be sure it will work!
index.php
<?php
echo MustachePress::render('index');
index.mustache
<h1> {{get_bloginfo name}} </h1>
You can access all the standard Wordpress functions (as above) using the {{function_name variable1 variable2}} syntax.
You can also create your own functions and call them from within your template.
###For logic
single.php
<?php
the_post();
function was_this_posted_today(){
return ( date('Yz') == get_the_time('Yz') ) ? true : false;
}
echo MustachePress::render('single');
single.mustache
<h1> {{the_title}} </h1>
{{{the_content}}}
{{#was_this_posted_today}}
Posted today!
{{/was_this_posted_today}}
###For output
single.php
<?php
the_post();
function author_job_title(){
return ( get_the_author() == 'Remi' ) ? 'Admin' : 'Contributor';
}
echo MustachePress::render('single');
single.mustache
<h1> {{the_title}} </h1>
{{{the_content}}}
<p>This post was written by {{the_author}} - {{author_job_title}}</p>
You can pass in data just as you would in the base Mustache.php engine.
###Array single.php
<?php
$data_to_render = array(
'template_engine' => 'mustache.php',
'colors' => array(
array('color'=>'red'),
array('color'=>'green'),
array('color'=>'blue')
)
);
echo MustachePress::render('single',$data_to_render);
###Object single.php
<?php
class SinglePost {
public $template_engine = 'mustache.php';
public function colors() {
return array(
array('color'=>'red'),
array('color'=>'green'),
array('color'=>'blue')
);
}
}
$data_to_render = new SinglePost;
echo MustachePress::render('single', $data_to_render);
###Example template single.mustache
<p>we are rendering with {{template_engine}}</p>
three colors
<ul>
{{#colors}}
<li>{{color}}</li>
{{/colors}}
</ul>
There is one reserved word posts_loop that invokes the standard Wordpress loop (The Loop).
A standard use of The Loop
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title() ?></h2>
<?php the_content() ?>
<?php endwhile; else : ?>
Sorry no posts
<?php endif; ?>
MustachePress version
{{#posts_loop}}
<h2>{{the_title}}</h2>
{{{the_content}}}
{{/posts_loop}}
{{^posts_loop}}
Sorry no posts
{{/posts_loop}}
By default mustachePress will look for all templates (including partials) in:
wordpress_template_directory/views
if that does not exist it will revert to
wordpress_template_directory
You can change this in settings.
You can change any of the settings for the base Mustache.php engine like so
functions.php
MustachePress::settings(array(
'loader' => new Mustache_Loader_FilesystemLoader( '/my/custom/path' ),
'partials_loader' => new Mustache_Loader_FilesystemLoader( '/my/custom/path' )
));
For a complete list of options look at the Constructor options for Mustache.php
###Note
MustachePress has the BLOCKS pragma enabled by default. This is because it is a convenient way of creating a site-wide layout template. this can of course be turned off by changing the pragmas setting.
