This package provides a better alternative that consists in defining parameters that the users can edit using regular Web forms, thus without having to edit templates or configuration files.

Updated on: 2016-10-13
Posted on: 2016-10-13
Some sites need to receive images from users that may not be safe for displaying to non-adults.
In this case it may be better to avoid showing those images to children. However, when you don't know if the user is not an adult, it would be better to show an obfuscated version of the image.
This class can use an API to determine if an image is not safe for showing to non-adults. It can also return a blurred version when it is the case, thus avoid showing the image explicitly.

Template engines are frequently used in PHP applications to generate Web pages or some kind of other output from template files or strings, as they make it easy to separate login from presentation code.
Usually you use a component that processes a template file or a string and replaces some variables with values passed to the template engine.
This package provides an alternative approach by using a trait that can be used by any class. The template variables are replaced by the values of class variables or return values of class functions with the same names.
This way developers can easily turn templates into classes of their own that they can call to generate their applications output.
