class SSViewer implements Flushable (View source)

Parses a template file with an *.ss file extension.

In addition to a full template in the templates/ folder, a template in templates/Content or templates/Layout will be rendered into $Content and $Layout, respectively.

A single template can be parsed by multiple nested {@link SSViewer} instances through $Layout/$Content placeholders, as well as <% include MyTemplateFile %> template commands.

Themes

See http://doc.silverstripe.org/themes and http://doc.silverstripe.org/themes:developing

Caching

Compiled templates are cached via {@link Cache}, usually on the filesystem. If you put ?flush=1 on your URL, it will force the template to be recompiled.

Traits

Provides extensions to this object to integrate it with standard config API methods.

A class that can be instantiated or replaced via DI

Constants

DEFAULT_THEME

Identifier for the default theme

PUBLIC_THEME

Identifier for the public theme

Properties

static private string $themes

A list (highest priority first) of themes to use Only used when {@link $theme_enabled} is set to TRUE.

static private string $theme

The used "theme", which usually consists of templates, images and stylesheets.

Set if hash links should be rewritten

static Injectable create(array ...$args)

An implementation of the factory method, allows you to create an instance of a class

This method will defer class substitution to the Injector API, which can be customised via the Config API to declare substitution classes.

This can be called in one of two ways - either calling via the class directly, or calling on Object and passing the class name as the first parameter. The following are equivalent: $list = DataList::create('SiteTree'); $list = SiteTree::get();

Parameters

array ...$args

Return Value

Injectable

static Injectable singleton(string $class = null)

Creates a class instance by the "singleton" design pattern.

It will always return the same instance for this class, which can be used for performance reasons and as a simple way to access instance methods which don't rely on instance data (e.g. the custom SilverStripe static handling).

Parameters

string $class

Optional classname to create, if the called class should not be used

Return Value

Injectable

The singleton instance

__construct(string|array $templates, TemplateParser $parser = null)

Parameters

string|array $templates

If passed as a string with .ss extension, used as the "main" template. If passed as an array, it can be used for template inheritance (first found template "wins"). Usually the array values are PHP class names, which directly correlate to template names. array('MySpecificPage', 'MyPage', 'Page')

TemplateParser $parser

static flush()

Triggered early in the request when someone requests a flush.

static SSViewer fromString(string $content, bool|void $cacheTemplate = null)

Parameters

string $content

The template content

bool|void $cacheTemplate
