Render template from blade template in database

posted 10 years ago

Hi guys,

I'm planning to develop a multi tenancy application which allows users to modify their own templates. To do this, I will store users template in database and render it when needed.

<div> My name is {{{$name}}} </div> -- name.blade.php

View::make('name')->with('name','Ted');

Above is how we normally do.

My problem is, how to pass the Blade template and compile it with data. I do understand Blade have the function called compileString, but it only able to render the given template without data. Example:

$template = Template::get('make'); // custom class where get the template in database, in this case, <div> My name is {{{$name}}} </div> is returned Blade::compileString($template); //where I can't pass name variable to compile.

Hope you guys can help me. Thanks :)

Is the template going to be the same but with user data involved? Or, are different users going to have different components? Either way, I would have a single template with variables loaded from the database based on Auth::user(). From there if they user lets say wanted a clock widget on their template have an entry in the database that would make it as true and have an @if statement. That's how I would go about it. Maybe yours is a bit more complex.

Well, imagine there are 2 users with 2 database- User A with DB-A, User B with DB-B.

Lets say the index page with 2 different template

User A template:

<html>
<body>
   <div>
       Template for User A {{$userAVariable}}
   </div>
</body>
</html>

User A template:

<html>
<body>
   <div>
       Template for User B {{$userBVariable}}
   </div>
</body>
</html>

Both template will be stored in their own database, lets say a table named "Template"

When render the page, template will be fetch from DB and render it.

Hope this clear about my question.

Thanks

I don't think that that is possible, you can look at Twig, that should be possible. See https://github.com/rcrowe/TwigBridge/tree/0.6 and http://twig.sensiolabs.org/doc/functions/template_from_string.html
