Brainy is a replacement for the popular Smarty templating language. It is a fork from the Smarty 3 trunk.
Brainy is still very new and it's likely that you will encounter some issues. Please report any problems that you encounter.
- Brainy generates clean and fast code by default.
- Brainy has security defaults that align better with best practices.
- Brainy does not include features that are infrequently used and increase code bloat.
Because Brainy is a fork of Smarty 3, it shares much of the same syntax and features while eliminating dangerous footguns and making it hard to write bad code.
Check out the Getting Started page on the wiki.
- PHP 7.3+
mbstringPHP extension
The mbstring extension is required in order to properly support Unicode in templates and user-provided content. Brainy 3 cannot be run in a mode that does not handle Unicode properly.
For information on how to set up a local dev environment and run the tests, see the wiki page on Hacking on Brainy.
See the project roadmap for information on upcoming releases.
