Hey man -- these aren't "facades." They're static proxies to service locators. I'm guessing you got the term from Laravel; they misuse the term.

Hi,

I am trying to implement twig as slim view renderer,

when I am using Slim-facade to render a view, variable is not passed to the view

template.twig

hello {{ name }}!

the routes.php

View::display('template.twig', array('name' => 'John'));
//this only produce 'Hello !'

$app->render('template.twig', array('name' => 'John'));
//this produce 'Hello John!' perfectly

I am using this code to initiate Slim, slim-facades, and twig

require __DIR__.'/../../vendor/autoload.php';
use SlimFacades\Facade;
use Illuminate\Database\Capsule\Manager as Capsule;

/**
 * Initialize Slim application
 */

$app = new Slim\Slim(array(
    'view'              => new \Slim\Views\Twig(),
    'templates.path'    => __DIR__.'/../views'
));

$view = $app->view();
$view->parserOptions = array(
    'debug' => true,
    'cache' => __DIR__ . '/../storage/cache'
);

$view->parserExtensions = array(
    new \Slim\Views\TwigExtension(),
);

// initialize the Slim Facade class

Facade::setFacadeApplication($app);
Facade::registerAliases(array(
    'Model'     => 'Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model',
    'Sentry'    => 'Cartalyst\Sentry\Facades\Native\Sentry',
    'App'       => 'SlimFacades\App',
    'Config'    => 'SlimFacades\Config',
    'Input'     => 'SlimFacades\Input',
    'Log'       => 'SlimFacades\Log',
    'Request'   => 'SlimFacades\Request',
    'Response'  => 'SlimFacades\Response',
    'Route'     => 'SlimFacades\Route',
    'View'      => 'SlimFacades\View',
));

I have been testing my static proxy library with a few frameworks (prior to publishing it on Packagist) and came across your excellent Slim Facades. It wired up very smoothly so I wondered if you would prefer to use it in place of your Laravel Facade implementation.

I am not trying to push my library, so feel free to bin it and close this PR. Thanks for your time.

I must be doing something wrong when attempting to create a custom facade. I have a SystemAlert class I'd like to create a Facade for and I have this.

$app->container->singleton('system_alert', function () {
    return new SystemAlert();
});

class SystemAlertFacade extends SlimFacades\Facade
{
    // return the name of the component from the DI container
    protected static function getFacadeAccessor() { return 'system_alert'; }
}

$config['aliases'] = array(
               'Alert'  => 'SystemAlert',
            );
SlimFacades\Facade::registerAliases($config['aliases']);

From my understanding this is all you need to do and I should be able to use the SystemAlerts class like so:

Alert::set(...);

Unfortunately it doesn't work. However all the following work:

$this->app->system_alert->set(); // inside a controller using DI $alert = new SystemAlert(); $alert = App:make('system_alert');

In my SystemAlert class I have several properties. If I instantiate the SystemAlerts class I can call the methods and they can access the properties without issues. However when I attempt to use the facade I get errors stating that my properties do not exist. I'm at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks!

Hi,

Thanks for creating great package to simplify Slim usage :)

by the way, is there is any chance we can add Route::resource to the route facade?

regards

Hi, I've make some changes. Now you can declare new facades with Facade::registerAliases without redeclare all preexistent facades and if you want, for example, use custom Log class you can redeclare Log alias because with my changes if alias exist replace existent class with new class.

Hi, very nice for this work, I very like it :)

But I think we need a more complete example to a properly use of these facades. An example like this:

require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

use SlimFacades\Facade;

$app = new \Slim\Slim();

Facade::setFacadeApplication($app);
Facade::registerAliases();

Config::set('debug', true);

Route::get('/hello/:name', function($name) {
    echo "Hello, $name";
});

App::run();

If you like it please add it to your readme :) Thanks in advance.
