MVC auto render view question.

[ballhogjoni]

So i am writing my own mvc framework just for my own knowledge. I can't figure out how to render the view automatically. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

If it's your own framework then you do it however you want...

 

You have some code that calls the controller/action, right? Shortly after that it can render the view.

I am using this example http://www.markisgood.com/blog/php/create-your-own-lightweight-php-mvc-framework

 

I don't want to have to run this code $this->registry->template->show('methodView.php'); at the end of every action.

So change it to something you prefer. Like rather than call show() you can set a view name using a default of "(action)View.php". The Router then calls a method on BaseController to show the view, and that method basically does

$this->registry->template->show($this->viewName);

I would structure it like

// router
controller = new controller;
controller->execute(action);

// BaseController::execute
this->viewName = action + "View.php";
this->action();
this->registry->template->show(this->viewName);

// controller::action
this->viewName = "customView.php";
