Neuron-PHP

IView
in

View interface for the Neuron MVC framework's rendering system.

This interface defines the contract that all view implementations must follow in the MVC framework. Views are responsible for rendering data into various output formats including HTML, JSON, XML, Markdown, and other presentation formats. The interface ensures consistent rendering behavior across all view types.

Key responsibilities:

  • Transform data arrays into formatted output strings
  • Support multiple output formats through different implementations
  • Integrate with the MVC controller layer for response generation
  • Enable flexible view switching based on content negotiation
  • Support caching mechanisms for performance optimization

Common view implementations:

  • Html: Renders PHP templates with layout support
  • Json: Generates JSON-formatted responses for APIs
  • Xml: Creates XML output with proper structure
  • Markdown: Processes Markdown content with layout integration

The render method should be idempotent and thread-safe, allowing the same view instance to be reused for multiple rendering operations.

// Example view implementation
class CustomView implements IView
{
    public function render(array $data): string
    {
        $output = "<custom>";
        foreach ($data as $key => $value) {
            $output .= "<{$key}>" . htmlspecialchars($value) . "</{$key}>";
        }
        $output .= "</custom>";
        return $output;
    }
}

// Usage in controller
$view = new Html();
$content = $view->render([
    'title' => 'Welcome',
    'user' => $currentUser,
    'posts' => $recentPosts
]);
