Wireframe Renderer Latte

[teppo]

Following recent discussion about the Latte templating language, I figured I'd give it a try too and put together a Latte renderer for Wireframe:

• GitHub repository at https://github.com/wireframe-framework/WireframeRendererLatte
• Composer installation: composer require wireframe-framework/wireframe-renderer-latte

In case anyone wants to try this, it would be interesting to hear your thoughts. I'm honestly not sure if I'll be using it much myself, and I built the module without any real Latte experience under my belt, so it's possible that it does things in surprising ways. Let me know if you run into any issues ?

Syntax wise, Latte doesn't differ much from regular PHP templates — you just write your PHP code within {curly brackets}, and it gets automatically escaped (with what they call context-aware escaping). They have this thing called n:attributes though, which is actually quite nice shortcut, especially if you happen to dislike if..else and foreach:

<ul n:if="$page->numChildren(true)" class="menu">
    <li n:foreach="$page->children as $child">
        <a n:tag-if="!$child->hide_from_menu" href="{$child->url}">
            {$item->title}
        </a>
    </li>
</ul>

Hi,

I wanted to give Wireframe a shot with the Latte renderer but can't get it to work. The layouts/default.latte template does'nt seem to load the views/home/default.latte

I'm using the ProcessWire 3.0.228 with PHP 8.2. and both Wireframe and WireframeRendererLatte have been installed via ProcessWire (not with Composer).

What am i doing wrong ?
