Renderer
A ViewPathRenderer is a simple Renderer implementation for rendering Viewables by searching for a matching viewFile relative to the Viewables class path or relative to a given $viewPath.
If a $viewPath is given the renderer will search for the view within this path directly.
If no $viewPath is given, the ViewPathRenderer will determine the view path relative to the Viewable as following:
- In case $parent = false the renderer will search directly in the class path subdirectory views:
viewableClassPath/views
- in case $parent = true the renderer will search in the parents views folder (e.g. in the modules main view folder):
viewableClassPath/../views
- in case $subPath is given the subPath will be appended to the view path e.g:
For a subPath 'mail' and $parent = false the search path will be: viewableClassPath/views/mail

Properties
$parent
Can be used to search the parent's view folder (e.g. the modules base view folder) for the view file.
public
bool
$parent
= false
Otherwise this renderer searches for a direct views subdirectory.
This field is ignored if $viewPath is given.
if set to true the renderer will search in the parents view directory for the view.
$subPath
public
string
$subPath
a subpath within the view folder used for searching the view e.g mails. This will only be used if $viewPath is not given.
$viewPath
public
string
$viewPath
view path
Methods
__call()
Calls the named method which is not a class method.
public
__call(string $name, array<string|int, mixed> $params) : mixed
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that will be implicitly called when an unknown method is being invoked.
Parameters
- $name : string
-
the method name
- $params : array<string|int, mixed>
-
method parameters
Tags
Return values
mixed —the method return value
__construct()
Constructor.
public
__construct([array<string|int, mixed> $config = [] ]) : mixed
The default implementation does two things:
- Initializes the object with the given configuration
$config
. - Call [[init()]].
If this method is overridden in a child class, it is recommended that
- the last parameter of the constructor is a configuration array, like
$config
here. - call the parent implementation at the end of the constructor.
Parameters
- $config : array<string|int, mixed> = []
-
name-value pairs that will be used to initialize the object properties
__get()
Returns the value of an object property.
public
__get(string $name) : mixed
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that
will be implicitly called when executing $value = $object->property;
.
Parameters
- $name : string
-
the property name
Tags
Return values
mixed —the property value
__isset()
Checks if a property is set, i.e. defined and not null.
public
__isset(string $name) : bool
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that
will be implicitly called when executing isset($object->property)
.
Note that if the property is not defined, false will be returned.
Parameters
- $name : string
-
the property name or the event name
Tags
Return values
bool —whether the named property is set (not null).
__set()
Sets value of an object property.
public
__set(string $name, mixed $value) : mixed
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that
will be implicitly called when executing $object->property = $value;
.
Parameters
- $name : string
-
the property name or the event name
- $value : mixed
-
the property value
Tags
__unset()
Sets an object property to null.
public
__unset(string $name) : mixed
Do not call this method directly as it is a PHP magic method that
will be implicitly called when executing unset($object->property)
.
Note that if the property is not defined, this method will do nothing. If the property is read-only, it will throw an exception.
Parameters
- $name : string
-
the property name
Tags
canGetProperty()
Returns a value indicating whether a property can be read.
public
canGetProperty(string $name[, bool $checkVars = true ]) : bool
A property is readable if:
- the class has a getter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
- the class has a member variable with the specified name (when
$checkVars
is true);
Parameters
- $name : string
-
the property name
- $checkVars : bool = true
-
whether to treat member variables as properties
Tags
Return values
bool —whether the property can be read
canSetProperty()
Returns a value indicating whether a property can be set.
public
canSetProperty(string $name[, bool $checkVars = true ]) : bool
A property is writable if:
- the class has a setter method associated with the specified name (in this case, property name is case-insensitive);
- the class has a member variable with the specified name (when
$checkVars
is true);
Parameters
- $name : string

getViewFile()
Returnes the viewFile of the given Viewable.

getViewPath()
Returns the directory containing the view files for this event.
public
getViewPath(Viewable $viewable[, bool $useSubPath = true ]) : string

render()
