✨ Features

🔒 Escaper Shortcuts

Use simple closure aliases instead of long $escaper method calls:

Alias	Equivalent
$esc->html()	$escaper->escapeHtml()
$esc->js()	$escaper->escapeJs()
$esc->url()	$escaper->escapeUrl()
$esc->htmlAttr()	$escaper->escapeHtmlAttr()

Example:

<?= $esc->html(__('Hello world!')) ?>

Instead of:

<?= $escaper->escapeHtml(__('Hello world!')) ?>

📦 ViewModel Provider – $viewModelProvider

Fetch a ViewModel instance directly inside a .phtml file without having to declare it in layout XML:

<?php
use Namespace\Module\ViewModel\YourViewModel;
use MageHx\MageTemplateUtils\Model\ViewModelProvider;

/** @var ViewModelProvider $viewModelProvider */

$viewModel = $viewModelProvider->get(YourViewModel::class);
?>

---

🧾 Form Key Helper – $formKey

Insert a hidden form key input in one line:

<form>
    <?= $formKey ?>
    ...
</form>

Simple, secure, and saves time.

---

🔐 CSP Nonce Provider – $nonce

Generate a valid CSP nonce for inline scripts:

<script nonce="<?= $esc->htmlAttr($nonce) ?>">
    // safe inline script
</script>

Essential for security-conscious development.

🎨 Conditional Class Names – $classNames

Apply dynamic class names with ease and clarity:

Before:

<div class="flex items-center <?= $escaper->escapeHtmlAttr($condition1 ? 'justify-between' : 'justify-center') ?> <?= $escaper->escapeHtmlAttr($i > 10 ? 'bg-orange' : '') ?>">
    ...
</div>

After:

<div class="<?= $classNames([
    'flex items-center',
    $condition1 ? 'justify-between' : 'justify-center',
    'bg-orange' => $i > 10
]) ?>">
    ...
</div>

Improves readability and maintainability of conditional UI.
