Include partial files

[snoopy4ever]

Hello there!

I'm not sure if I'm missing something, but I cannot include partials...

So I have my default.hbs file and there I'm trying to include my header:

  {{> header }}

file is located in ./partials/header.hbs and my config for lightncandy is following:

  'flags'		=> LightnCandy::FLAG_HANDLEBARSJS | LightnCandy::FLAG_SPVARS | LightnCandy::FLAG_INSTANCE | LightnCandy::FLAG_ERROR_EXCEPTION,
  'hbhelpers'	=> $helpers,
  'basedir' => Array(
    '/views',
    '/views/partials'
  ),
  'fileext'	=> array('.hbs')

I've got this error and I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong:

Fatal error:  Uncaught Exception: Can not find partial for 'header', you should provide partials or partialresolver in options in \public_html\vendor\lightncandy\LightnCandy.php:113
Stack trace:
#0 \public_html\vendor\lightncandy\LightnCandy.php(55): LightnCandy\LightnCandy::handleError(Array)

#3 \public_html\index.php(7): require_once('C:\\VirtualDrive...')
#4 {main}
  thrown in \public_html\vendor\lightncandy\LightnCandy.php on line 113

Please help,

Many thanks in advance.

Peter.

From your provided information you should using old version of lightncandy or other frameworks based on lightncandy. for older version document you may check here: https://github.com/zordius/lightncandy/tree/v0.23 . And in your stack trace there are something like C:\\VirtualDrive... , maybe you should double confirm your directory settings.

Hi @zordius,
Thanks for the info, I'm using latest version downloaded from this repo.
C:\VirtualDrive... path is correct, works with everything else, I had also mustache here previously and includes were working OK, I will try clean installation for now and will test that, will let you know what are the results of that.
Many thanks,
Peter

I've done clean deploy on my dev box (CentOS 7, PHP 5.6.40) from here: https://github.com/zordius/lightncandy/tree/master/src

This is my folder structure (maybe I'm missing something):

In src I've got copy of Lightncandy, in cache - cache files, in partials I have header.hbs, content of main.hbs is as follows:

{{> header }}

MAIN TEMPLATE {{ test }}

Content of my index.php file is:

<?php

require_once( './src/loader.php' );

use LightnCandy\LightnCandy;

$template = file_get_contents( './main.hbs' );

$config_template = array(
  'flags'     => LightnCandy::FLAG_HANDLEBARSJS | LightnCandy::FLAG_SPVARS | LightnCandy::FLAG_INSTANCE | LightnCandy::FLAG_ERROR_EXCEPTION,
  'basedir'   => Array([
    './',
    './partials'
  ]),
  'fileext'	  => Array([
    '.hbs'
  ])
);

$phpStr = LightnCandy::compile($template, $config_template);

file_put_contents( './cache/cache_' . $cacheName . '.php', '<?php ' . $phpStr . '?>');

$renderer = include( './cache/cache_' . $cacheName . '.php' );

$data = array(
  'test' => 'TEST'
);

echo $renderer( $data );

Same error still persist:

When I remove {{> header }} from main.hbs it all works, I would expect that the partials will work same way as in handlebars and mustache?

Many thanks for any help.
Peter.

for lightncandy 0.23 partials should be provided by code but not another file, please read document here: https://github.com/zordius/lightncandy/tree/v0.23#partial-support , and do the file loading task yourself.

Hello.

My problem is the same, but in a more specific context.
I need to parse each individual template before compilation and push the filename in a custom debug stack array during runtime.

I don't want to modify any lightncandy file. (easy updates, bigger code time life).

I will try to extends the LightnCandy main class to override compile and compilePartial methods.

By design, the first parameter of theses methods is directly the template string.
I need it to be a filename, then i will just wrote a new method getTemplateFromFile to resolve the problem.

I hope this won't enter in conflict with any part of lightncandy library, and this can be an helpful idea for anyone.

Thanks

Oops.
First problem : LightnCandy::compilePartial doesn't seem to be used anywhere. Any suggestion?

[flavi1]

Compiler::partial() method use Partial::compileStatic().
Partial::compileStatic() method use Compiler::compileTemplate().
I will not be able to do what i want without modify anything since it seem to be a closed loop in a lower level than the main LightnCandy class...

Would you like me to post a new feature ticket, or it's ok with this one?

Do you mean to use v0.23 ? Or current version?
