WP Headless Plugin Framework

View Templates

WP Headless uses a view or template system for displaying output on a page.

The starter plugin is packaged with default views for menu/submenu pages, sections and meta boxes in the resources/views/ folder. A variety of meta-field/settings input fields can be found in the resources/views/fields/ subfolder. There is also an resources/views/errors/ subfolder for error templates.

View files can be rendered using the View class render method. The render method accepts the path of the view file relative to the resources/views directory in the first parameter. An array of arguments can optionally be passed as the second parameter for templates that require dynamic data to render.

    app('views')->render('menu-page'); // Displays resources/views/menu-page.php
    app('views')->render('fields/text', $args); // Outputs the text input field with data from $args

You may add additional custom templates to the views folder if you wish, however with the way the callback and file rendering system works all files in the views folder and its subfolders must have an unique name. For example, you cannot have a template named example.php in both the main views folder and the fields subfolder.
