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​

    - 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)
