Simple, quick and powerful.

Tierra Templates is a inheritence based templating engine built for PHP 5+. Inspired by Django's templates you can use Tierra Templates within your application/framework or on its own using the bundled template runner.

Framework Features

  • Uses Django inspired template inheritance with extensions that allow you to conditionally use blocks and easily append and prepend to parent blocks.
  • Features a new code construction called a "conditerator" that combines a conditional test with an iterator to drastically reduce your template code size.
  • Template block decorators let you add your own code at compile time. Use the built-in memcached block decorator for fragment cacheing.
  • Features a external call syntax that allows you to use functions and class methods or reference variables in external files or back in your application.
  • Includes a template "runner" which is a hookable Controller-View framework you can use to display templates without writing supporting code.
  • Performs true template parsing and outputs cached PHP code.
  • Allows for dynamic template creation, compilation and cacheing.
  • Already includes Kohana framework integration and designed to integrate with other frameworks easily.
  • Template syntax allows for inline JSON to mock up lists and objects.
