Looks good, but no conditions without functions?

[Norcoen]

Just found this little gem from this article: https://tqdev.com/2019-php-templating-engine-in-165-lines

So far I really like it but as far as I can see it is not possible to have conditions in the template without calling a dedicated functions which must be provided to the sandbox.

This seems to be impossible: {{if:SOME_VARIABLE!="sometext")}} Some output {{endif}}

That makes it unpleasant to work with, because it is basic functionality you are probably used to from other engines like FatFreeFramework

Correct, but this is not hard. You specify the following functions:

[
  'eq' => function ($a, $b) {return $a == $b;},
  'neq' => function ($a, $b) {return $a != $b;}
]

And then you can write:

{{if:SOME_VARIABLE|eq("sometext")}} Some output {{endif}}

This is how we use it ourselves:

I hope this helps.

Yeah..., No... What I meant was, that I know how to use it (eq, neq, lt, gt, lte, gte functions for comparison)

But it is such a basic functionality, that you want to use it without explicitly passing the needed functions every time. Right now I just integrated them into the template class with a third (and experimental fourth) parameter

$if = function($a, $b, $op='==', $mod='') {
  $ret = false;
  switch($op) {
    case '==':
      $ret = ($a == $b);
      break;
    case '===':
      $ret ($a === $b);
      break;
    case '!=':
      $ret = ($a != $b);
      break;
    case '!==':
      $ret = ($a !== $b);
      break;
    case '>':
      $ret = ($a > $b);
      break;
    case '<':
      $ret = ($a < $b);
      break;
    case '>=':
       $ret = ($a >= $b);
       break;
    case '<=':
       $ret = ($a <= $b);
       break;
  }
  if($mod == '!') {
    $ret = !$ret;
  }
  return $ret;
};

Right now I am experimenting using this for .htaccess file generation based on environmental variables - so I just searched for a small, self-sustained class capable of inserting variables based on some conditions or even doing loops.

Regarding your example

Are you trying to filter out Githubissues.

Githubissues is a development platform for aggregating issues.
