Slim Framework Extras

This repository contains extra resources that complement the Slim Framework, a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications.

---

For custom views we are now recommending using the Slim Views repo instead. We are simplifying the amount of views we officially support and will be splitting up the Slim Extras repo into smaller chunks.

Custom Views

This repository contains custom views for your Slim Framework applications. Custom views let you easily use popular third-party templating frameworks, like Twig or Smarty, with your Slim Framework application.

• Smarty
• Twig
• Mustache
• Haml
• Haanga
• Blitz
• Dwoo
• Sugar
• Savant
• Rain
• H2o

This example demonstrates how to use the custom Twig view in your Slim Framework application:

<?php
// Setup custom Twig view
$twigView = new \Slim\Extras\Views\Twig();

// Instantiate application
$app = new \Slim\Slim(array(
    'view' => $twigView
));

This example assumes you are autoloading dependencies using Composer. If you are not using Composer, you must manually require the custom view class before instantiating it.

Read the Slim Framework documentation to learn how to write your own custom view.

Middleware

This repository also contains middleware for your Slim Framework application. This example demonstrates how to apply HTTP basic authentication to a Slim Framework application:

<?php
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->add(new \Slim\Extras\Middleware\HttpBasicAuth('username', 'password'));

This example assumes you are autoloading dependencies using Composer. If you are not using Composer, you must manually require the custom middleware class before instantiating it.

Log Writers

This repository also contains custom log writers for your Slim Framwork application. This example demonstrates how to use the custom DateTimeLogWriter to write rolling log files from your Slim Framework application:

<?php
$app = new \Slim\Slim(array(
    'log.writer' => new \Slim\Extras\Log\DateTimeFileWriter(array(
        'path' => './logs',
        'name_format' => 'Y-m-d',
        'message_format' => '%label% - %date% - %message%'
    ))
));

This example assumes you are autoloading dependencies using Composer. If you are not using Composer, you must manually require the log writer class before instantiating it.
