What does thinkphp mean when it only renders but does not output?

ThinkPHP is one of the preferred frameworks for most PHP developers when developing web applications. It provides a series of powerful features to simplify the web development process, such as Model View Controller (MVC) pattern, Active Record implementation, database ORM etc. In the process of developing with ThinkPHP, you will encounter many problems and techniques, one of which is 'rendering without output', which is the topic that will be discussed in this article.

What is ‘rendering without output’?

You may encounter a problem when using the ThinkPHP engine. We may need to only preprocess the page in some cases instead of completely outputting it to the user.

This situation usually occurs when we need to preprocess some data on the current page and then pass the data to a controller or view for use. In this case we need to render the page but not output it.

In ThinkPHP, we can use the fetch() method to achieve this purpose, which accepts the rendering target address and returns its rendering result, but does not output it. This method is very flexible and can be used in controllers, modules, and any other code.

How to implement ‘only rendering without output’ in ThinkPHP?

To achieve ‘only rendering without output’, we can use the fetch() method in ThinkPHP in two different ways.

Method 1: Using the fetch() command

In this method, we will call the fetch() method again, but this time we will not specify the second parameter. In this approach, the fetch() method will only render the view without outputting it.

The following is a simple sample code that demonstrates how to use the fetch() method in ThinkPHP to render a view without outputting it:

public function index()
{
    // 渲染视图并不输出
    $content = $this->fetch('index', [], true);

    // 处理相关逻辑，最后再将结果输出
    echo $content;
}

Method 2: Use the Config class to configure

Another method is to use the Config class and set the output to false. In this case, the fetch() method will only render the view without outputting it.

The sample code is as follows:

// 获取 Config 类实例
$config = \think\facade\Config::get('template');

// 将输出设置为 false
$config['tpl_replace_string']['__STATIC__'] = '/'

// 调用 fetch() 方法进行渲染
$content = $this->fetch('index', [], false);

// 处理相关逻辑，最后再将结果输出
echo $content;

Conclusion

In this article, we discussed the problem of 'rendering without output' and how to achieve this goal in ThinkPHP Two different methods. Through the above method, we can simply preprocess the page in any case without outputting it.
