I want to implement template engine for view. - Vimal - 02-06-2015
Hi,
I used smarty library(github) before for template system but its not working in new ci3.
Tell me how can i implement on it.
I want to use smarty or twing(which one better if any??
).

It would be great if CI3 comes with Twig templating engine.

CI will not be shipped with a template engine. We have native php for templating. Look also into this thread:

Every one right. But i think different way. I prefer to use template engine. Template engines comes with caching feature. May be you are right native php faster than template engine but i would like to say template engine make production faster for view file.And in my case i used smarty with ci 2.x version before and i didn't find any speed issue.

As said, it depends no our personal preferences ;o)
But it's not a big issue to include a third party library into CI like smarty.

BootPress is built on CodeIgniter and uses Smarty for templating. Check it out. I weighed the pros and cons of Smarty vs Twig myself, and ultimately decided on Smarty. Twig seems to be more hip, but Smarty has been around a long time, and I chose it because you can include objects. I wasn't able to figure out how to do that in Twig. Plus, I like the syntax a lot more. If you decide to use Twig, you may want to consider using Symfony also. Those two go hand in hand.

Hmm, I tried last day twig. But its seems complicated more than native php for view
. I think smarty perfect for me because I already used before.
