Templates (and components) Management

[peterfoeng]

Hi all,

I just wanted to find out how Processwire developers manages their templates and components/partials these days. Are you guys using spex/twig/template data providers or just plain processwire setup?

Below is my setup:

- Using Spex which can be found here: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/spex/

- partials/components are stored within these folders /site/templates/partials (Spex design by default)

- there are options to set different base using using Spex

- templates are built by outputting these partials/components

- the rest of the setup is easier to read from Spex readme file rather than me trying to explain in it here.

- php short tags whenever possible.

Here are some screenshots:

So far so good with Spex setup and I quiet like it however, Spex has not been updated for quiet sometime now and not sure if this module is going to support version PW version 3 moving forward.

In the past, I've used Twig template engine (http://modules.processwire.com/modules/template-engine-twig/) created by wanze but not really compatible with Procache module which is a deal breaker for me but it works really well if you don't need Procache support.

I understand the same topics have been brought up couple of times in the past (feel free to close this down if required) but I thought I brought up the same discussion again to get some new and cool ideas how to manage templates to make your life easier as Processwire developers.

Many thanks!
