Context API

[schlessera]

Design & develop a Context API (separate package?).

Requirements:

• Context data needs to be able to be lazily evaluated.
• Caching needs to be possible.
• Global & view-specific contexts need to be accepted & merged on render.
• Needs to be flexible enough to be reused with different implementations (Twig, Blade, Foil, ...).

Hi @schlessera. Is there any further work planned on this package or is https://github.com/thephpleague/plates perhaps a stronger ootb choice?

There's a relatively low count of pure PHP view implementations available to choose from, so curious.

@lkraav Sorry for only noticing your comment just now.

I'm using this view component on multiple production sites and keep it up-to-date whenever I hit issues.

It is not a fully-fledged engine, but rather an abstraction mechanism that lets you add more elaborate engines after the fact. And saying this, I now remember that I haven't yet published the Mustache extension that demonstrates how easy it is to extend this. The main benefit of this package is that the different actual engines, like Mustache, Plates, ... can all be used at the same time and mixed as convenient.

Tyvm. Are there any example projects out in the wild using this package? I see README with some examples, but an actual project usage demonstration sure would be helpful.
