Views

Definition & Principles#

Read Porto SAP Documentation (#Views).

Rules#

  • Views SHOULD be created inside the Containers, and they will be automatically available for use in the Web Controllers.

Folder Structure#

 - app    - Containers        - {section-name}            - {container-name}                - UI                    - WEB                        - Views                            - welcome.php                            - profile.php                            - ...

Code Sample#

Welcome page View#

<!DOCTYPE html><html><head>    <title>Welcome</title></head><body>    <div class="container">        <div class="content">            <div class="title">Welcome</div>        </div>    </div></body></html>

Usage From Controller#

class Controller extends WebController{    public function sayWelcome()    {        return view('just-welcome');    }}

Namespaces#

  • By default, all Views are namespaced as the camelCase of its Section name + @ + camelCase of its Container name.

For example, a view named welcome-page inside MySection > MyContainer can be accessed like this: view(mySection@myContainer::welcome-page)

If you try to access it without the namespace view('just-welcome'), it will not find your View.

note

View files in Ship folder are exception to this and will be namespaced with the word "ship" instead of section name, e.g. view(ship::welcome-page)
