Feature: Add PHP Pug as available templating systems inner installer

[kpicaza]

Hello,

I would like to propose as an add-on, the option to use PHP Pug https://github.com/pug-php/pug as a template engine.

I already have an adapter for Zend\Expressive\Template\TemplateRendererInterface working https://github.com/kpicaza/infw-pug.

On the other hand, I made a fork and i added the default templates and settings in the installer https://github.com/kpicaza/zend-expressive-skeleton/tree/feature/pug-template-renderer.

If you think it's a good idea, I'll be happy to do the pull request and create the corresponding documentation for the Expressive website.

Greetings.

Although I appreciate the offer, I'm not sure if it's a good idea to add more packages. Specifically packages that are not stable yet. But that's just my opinion.

However that doesn't mean you can't use your package right now. There is a feature to install alternative packages: Instead of entering one of the selection you can actually type the package name and version.

  Which template engine do you want to use?
  [1] Plates
  [2] Twig
  [3] zend-view installs zend-servicemanager
  [n] None of the above
  Make your selection or type a composer package name and version (n): infw/pug:0.1
  - Searching for infw/pug:0.1
  - Adding package infw/pug (0.1)

That feature has been there from the beginning and it allows you to install any alternative package you want. It has its limitations though:

• You need to enter the alternative package as namespace/package:1.0. It needs the version. I can't remember why I coded it like that, but I think it had to do with the way composer works or my limited composer api knowledge at that time :)
• Templates are not copied, but you can configure your ConfigProvider in such way that it uses the default templates directly from the package itself.
• This doesn't work for containers as the container.php file needs to be copied.

Thanks a lot for response. I have made already some adapters for my projects using pug with Expressive(and i'm happy with it;-D).

I love Zend Expressive and I would enjoy helping in anything that I can.

Best Regards.
