Is there a better way to pass the base_url variable to mustache template file?

[phoenixg]

class testHandler extends baseHandler {
    function get() {
        $tpl = $this->mustache->loadTemplate('test');
        echo $tpl->render(array('a'=>$a,
                                'base_url' => BASE_URL));
    }
}

I have dozens of xHandler, so pass the base_url every time seems not elegant way.

I’ve not used the PHP implementation of Mustache (just the JavaScript version), but if you’re using a base handler class, maybe set some site-wide variables in there, and then add to them in your extending handler classes? Something like this:

abstract class BaseHandler {
    protected $templateVariables;

    public function __construct() {
        $this->templateVariables = array(
            'base_url' => BASE_URL
        );
    }
}

class TestHandler extends BaseHandler {
    public function get() {
        $tpl = $this->mustache->loadTemplate('test');

        $this->templateVariables['foo'] = 'bar';

        echo $tpl->render($this->templateVariables);
    }
}

Let me know how that works for you. I’m closing this issue as it’s more to do with Mustache and not ToroPHP itself.
