Aura.View Twostep View

[guillaume ferrand]

Hi,

I cant figure how to set Paths for layout and views in Aura.View v2.

Can someone give me a hint on the way to do it properly ?

Get the finder and set the paths.

https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.View/blob/develop-2/src/Finder.php#L120

$output = $view_manager->render($data, $view_template, $layout_template);

Hope that helps to wire up.

Yes that's what I figured already but i have to admit that I'm pretty lost on the way to achieve this.

First, I wanted to define all this in config/define.php (like i used to do with Aura.View v1) but i couldn't get a way to do it. (No big deal for now, so I go on with my main problem right now : having a view file that is being used and displayed)

Let me explain what I did if you can help me to sort things out.

Right now I have an AbstractController which extends Aura.View.Manager

In this AbstractController I have this :

        $view_finder = $this->getViewFinder();
        $view_finder->setPaths([
            'Fli\Dashboard' => dirname(__DIR__) . '/Views',
        ]);

Then, I have a DummyController which extends my AbstractController which is a test controller for displaying my first view but...

In my DummyController action, i have this : 

print_r($this->getViewFinder()->getPaths());

which displays : 

Array ( [\Fli\Dashboard\] => /var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard/Views/ ) 

My file system is ok with this path :

trololo:~# ll /var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard/Views/
total 4
-rwxrw---- 1 wwwdev www-data 96 janv. 31 08:53 test.php

after the print_r, i have the following code : 

$data = [
     'name' => 'Ferrand',
     'email' => 'f...@example.com',
];
$output = $this->render($data, 'test');  // i tried test.php too

this results in :

Exception 'Aura\View\Exception\TemplateNotFound' thrown for GET / Params: array ( 'controller' => 'dummy', 'action' => 'main', ) exception 'Aura\View\Exception\TemplateNotFound' with message 'test' in /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/view/src/Template.php:56 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/view/src/Template.php(26): Aura\View\Template->convertToClosure('test') #1 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/view/src/Manager.php(164): Aura\View\Template->render('test') #2 /var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard/Controller/DummyController.php(38): Aura\View\Manager->render(Array, 'test') #3 [internal function]: Fli\Dashboard\Controller\DummyController->main() #4 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/dispatcher/src/InvokeMethodTrait.php(96): ReflectionMethod->invokeArgs(Object(Fli\Dashboard\Controller\DummyController), Array) #5 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/dispatcher/src/Dispatcher.php(111): Aura\Dispatcher\Dispatcher->invokeMethod(Object(Fli\Dashboard\Controller\DummyController), 'main', Array) #6 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/dispatcher/src/Dispatcher.php(124): Aura\Dispatcher\Dispatcher->dispatch(Object(Fli\Dashboard\Controller\DummyController), Array) #7 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/dispatcher/src/Dispatcher.php(90): Aura\Dispatcher\Dispatcher->dispatch(Object(Aura\Di\LazyNew), Array) #8 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/web-kernel/src/WebKernelDispatcher.php(49): Aura\Dispatcher\Dispatcher->__invoke(Array) #9 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/web-kernel/src/WebKernel.php(45): Aura\Web_Kernel\WebKernelDispatcher->__invoke() #10 /var/www/fl-dashboard/web/index.php(28): Aura\Web_Kernel\WebKernel->__invoke() #11 {main}

Any hint ?

I know Aura.View v2 is still in development but Documentation is a bit straightfoward (only mentionning closures) and even if I read a lot of Aura code, i can't really get exactly why the Finder object can't get my view.

What did I miss ?

[Hari K T]

Seems you missed to set the paths to layout.

See view.php https://gist.github.com/harikt/8841225

I can send more information, if needed at sometime if needed. ( Bit busy )

Thanks

I thought the layout as not mandatory according to the doc but i've added it.

Even with the layout, it still cant find the files :

Exception 'Aura\View\Exception\TemplateNotFound' thrown for GET / Params: array ( 'controller' => 'dummy', 'action' => 'main', ) exception 'Aura\View\Exception\TemplateNotFound' with message 'inner' in /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/view/src/Template.php:56 Stack trace: #0 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/view/src/Template.php(26): Aura\View\Template->convertToClosure('inner') #1 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/view/src/Manager.php(164): Aura\View\Template->render('inner') #2 /var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard/Controller/DummyController.php(42): Aura\View\Manager->render(Array, 'inner', 'outer') #3 [internal function]: Fli\Dashboard\Controller\DummyController->main() #4 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/dispatcher/src/InvokeMethodTrait.php(96): ReflectionMethod->invokeArgs(Object(Fli\Dashboard\Controller\DummyController), Array) #5 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/dispatcher/src/Dispatcher.php(111): Aura\Dispatcher\Dispatcher->invokeMethod(Object(Fli\Dashboard\Controller\DummyController), 'main', Array) #6 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/dispatcher/src/Dispatcher.php(124): Aura\Dispatcher\Dispatcher->dispatch(Object(Fli\Dashboard\Controller\DummyController), Array) #7 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/dispatcher/src/Dispatcher.php(90): Aura\Dispatcher\Dispatcher->dispatch(Object(Aura\Di\LazyNew), Array) #8 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/web-kernel/src/WebKernelDispatcher.php(49): Aura\Dispatcher\Dispatcher->__invoke(Array) #9 /var/www/fl-dashboard/vendor/aura/web-kernel/src/WebKernel.php(45): Aura\Web_Kernel\WebKernelDispatcher->__invoke() #10 /var/www/fl-dashboard/web/index.php(28): Aura\Web_Kernel\WebKernel->__invoke() #11 {main}

In my controller i have the following code: (in bold)

print_r($this->getLayoutFinder()->getPaths());

displays : Array ( [\0\] => /var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard/Layout/ )
in file system : ll /var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard/Layout/
total 4
-rwxrw---- 1 wwwdev www-data 192 f�vr.  6 11:09 outer.php

print_r($this->getViewFinder()->getPaths());

displays : Array ( [\0\] => /var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard/View/ ) 
in file system : trololo:/var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard# ll /var/www/fl-dashboard/src/Fli/Dashboard/View/
total 4
-rwxrw---- 1 wwwdev www-data 96 janv. 31 08:53 inner.php

$data = [

    'name' => 'Ferrand',

    'email' => 'f...@example.com',

];

$view_template = 'inner';

$layout_template = 'outer';

$output = $this->render($data, $view_template, $layout_template);

echo $output;

If I put a closure in both $view_template and $layout_template it's working as expected but with file names, it's still exactly the same problem

Any thoughts ?

FYI in your view.php, you have an error in the setPaths which triggers: 

Argument 1 passed to Aura\View\Finder::setPaths() 

$view_manager->getLayoutFinder()->setPaths(__DIR__ . '/template/');
$view_manager->getViewFinder()->setPaths(__DIR__ . '/template/');

should be

$view_manager->getLayoutFinder()->setPaths([__DIR__ . '/template/']);
$view_manager->getViewFinder()->setPaths([__DIR__ . '/template/']);

[Hari K T]

That is an interesting one.

I am not sure when did the changes happened though.

So currently the below way will work .

$view_manager->getViewFinder()->setName('inner', __DIR__ . '/template/inner.php');
$view_manager->getLayoutFinder()->setName('outer', __DIR__ . '/template/outer.php');

Gist updated https://gist.github.com/harikt/8841225

I want to see how it can be used with classes. Not sure on that.

Thank you.

another way is set the paths and set the prefixes.

But I am not sure the idea of prefixes.

$view_manager->getViewFinder()->setPaths(array('something' => __DIR__ . '/template/'));
$view_manager->getViewFinder()->setPrefixes(array('something'));
$view_manager->getLayoutFinder()->setPaths(array('something' => __DIR__ . '/template/'));
$view_manager->getLayoutFinder()->setPrefixes(array('something'));

And to me Aura.View still has some works in mind by Paul. Hopefully he will be able to address things.

Thank you.

Thank you for the help

this works good : $view_manager->getViewFinder()->setName('inner', __DIR__ . '/template/inner.php');

Yet, the layout part doesnt trigger any error but is not rendered at all after render() is called : I only get the inner view.  (called with $this->render($data, $view_template, $layout_template);)

this seems useless : $view_manager->getLayoutFinder()->setName('outer', __DIR__ . '/template/outer.php'); 

I'm gonna look into internal code to get why layout is not rendered. If anyone has any clue, let me know :)

[guillaume ferrand]

Shame on me... I had a typo in my code which prevented the layout to be found :)

Works good now : view + layout together.

Thanks a lot Hari : super fast and efficient help
