I want to display a list of users in a sidebar menu and am looking for a solution to render a controller/result in the main template without having to set a variable in the controllerbase. What I'm looking for would be similar to this in symfony:
{{ render(controller('AcmeUserBundle:User:userList') }}This is very bad idea and shouldn't be done. Even in symfony it's recommended to be avoided to call other action/controller from view. You should just pass parameters from controller action with your users to your view and use {% include %} for example.
Possible solution is to create a component:
use Phalcon\Mvc\User\Component,
Phalcon\Mvc\View;
/**
* @property View $view
*/
class Fragment extends Component
{
public function showData()
{
$viewData['items'] = ['your', 'data', 'here'];
return $this->view->getRender('fragment', 'show-data', $viewData);
}
}$di->set('fragment', function() {
return new Fragment();
});<viewsDir>/fragment/show-data.volt:
{% for item in items %}
<p>{{ item }}</p>
{% endfor %}Usage:
{{ fragment.showData() }}
