CViewRenderer is the base class for view renderer classes.

A view renderer is an application component that renders views written in a customized syntax.

Once installing a view renderer as a 'viewRenderer' application component, the normal view rendering process will be intercepted by the renderer. The renderer will first parse the source view file and then render the the resulting view file.

Parsing results are saved as temporary files that may be stored under the application runtime directory or together with the source view file.

Public Properties

behaviors array the behaviors that should be attached to this component. CApplicationComponent
fileExtension string the extension name of the view file. CViewRenderer
filePermission integer the chmod permission for temporary directories and files generated during parsing. CViewRenderer
isInitialized boolean Checks if this application component has been initialized. CApplicationComponent
useRuntimePath boolean whether to store the parsing results in the application's runtime directory. CViewRenderer

Protected Methods

Method Description Defined By
generateViewFile() Parses the source view file and saves the results as another file. CViewRenderer
getViewFile() Generates the resulting view file path. CViewRenderer

Property Details

fileExtension property

public string $fileExtension;

the extension name of the view file. Defaults to '.php'.

filePermission property

public integer $filePermission;

the chmod permission for temporary directories and files generated during parsing. Defaults to 0755 (owner rwx, group rx and others rx).

useRuntimePath property

public boolean $useRuntimePath;

whether to store the parsing results in the application's runtime directory. Defaults to true. If false, the parsing results will be saved as files under the same directory as the source view files and the file names will be the source file names appended with letter 'c'.

Method Details

generateViewFile() method

abstract protected void generateViewFile(string $sourceFile, string $viewFile)
$sourceFile string the source view file path
$viewFile string the resulting view file path
Source Code: framework/web/renderers/CViewRenderer.php#54 (show)
abstract protected function generateViewFile($sourceFile,$viewFile);

Parses the source view file and saves the results as another file.

getViewFile() method

protected string getViewFile(string $file)
$file string source view file path
{return} string resulting view file path
Source Code: framework/web/renderers/CViewRenderer.php#84 (show)
protected function getViewFile($file)
{
    if(
$this->useRuntimePath)
    {
        
$crc=sprintf('%x'crc32(get_class($this).Yii::getVersion().dirname($file)));
        
$viewFile=Yii::app()->getRuntimePath().DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'views'.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.$crc.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.basename($file);
        if(!
is_file($viewFile))
            @
mkdir(dirname($viewFile),$this->filePermission,true);
        return 
$viewFile;
    }
    else
        return 
$file.'c';
}

Generates the resulting view file path.

renderFile() method

public mixed renderFile(CBaseController $context, string $sourceFile, mixed $data, boolean $return)
$context CBaseController the controller or widget who is rendering the view file.
$sourceFile string the view file path
$data mixed the data to be passed to the view
$return boolean whether the rendering result should be returned
{return} mixed the rendering result, or null if the rendering result is not needed.
Source Code: framework/web/renderers/CViewRenderer.php#66 (show)
public function renderFile($context,$sourceFile,$data,$return)
{
    if(!
is_file($sourceFile) || ($file=realpath($sourceFile))===false)
        throw new 
CException(Yii::t('yii','View file "{file}" does not exist.',array('{file}'=>$sourceFile)));
    
$viewFile=$this->getViewFile($sourceFile);
    if(@
filemtime($sourceFile)>@filemtime($viewFile))
    {
        
$this->generateViewFile($sourceFile,$viewFile);
        @
chmod($viewFile,$this->filePermission);
    }
    return 
$context->renderInternal($viewFile,$data,$return);
}

Renders a view file. This method is required by IViewRenderer.
