In the context of MVC, how should Markdown content be integrated into PHP applications without violating the separation of concerns principle?
When integrating Markdown content into PHP applications within the MVC architecture, it's important to separate the concerns of presentation and logic. One way to achieve this is by creating a dedicated view file for rendering Markdown content, keeping the parsing logic separate from the controller. This ensures that the Markdown content is processed and displayed without violating the separation of concerns principle.
// Controller logic
$markdownContent = file_get_contents('path/to/markdown/file.md');
$view = new MarkdownView($markdownContent);
$view->render();
// MarkdownView class
class MarkdownView {
private $content;
public function __construct($content) {
$this->content = $content;
}
public function render() {
echo MarkdownParser::parse($this->content);
}
}
// MarkdownParser class
class MarkdownParser {
public static function parse($content) {
return Parsedown::instance()->text($content);
}
}
