Smarty – The Ultimate Template Engine
Smarty Introduction:
Smarty is an ultimate PHP template engine designed for programmers and designers to develop/deploy faster using proper separation of presentation layer from application layer such as template front end and PHP backend.
Use of Smarty in CMS:
Web Template system is a web publishing tool used in content management systems, software frameworks and HTML editors and many other contexts to process templates with PHP template engine like Smarty with the aim of creating web pages, and for deployment on the website then distributing across the Internet.
The use of smarty on CMS allows designer and programmer work independently without interfering in each other tasks. The designer deals with content elements such as Header, Footer, Navigation, and body, and HTML to offer a complete design of the template to provide the website an attractive look. While the programmer concentrates on manipulating and validating the business logic by extracting those elements with simple query from the database.
In smarty, we can also have logic on the presentation layer in case of PHP tags mixed with HTML as well as without logic when it is not required.
Advantages of Smarty:
1. It allows limitless nesting functions, if’s, else-if’s and more.
2. The engine is offered with built-in caching, custom cache handling function and highly customizable even though it is possible to embed your PHP code with template files.
3. The arbitrary template sources with plug in architecture are present.
4. Extremely fast and efficient as PHP parser compiles multiple times, where the Smarty compiles only once.
5. It’s really smart on recompiling the template files that have changed.
6. Highly extensible Template language, as you can create custom functions and variable modifiers.
