My Shopping cms uses Twig as a primary template engine, and all available twig syntax are available on this page.

Global variables

There are few global variables available at this time that you can use without needing extra queries with database:

• visitor variable
  • This variable will fetch of Users model and will return object of App\Pub\Model\Users::class
• myshopping variable
  • This variable will return an object containing data like website name and settings.

In order to get authorized user in template, you should call `visitor` variable, and it will return object of User class. This is super global variable that can be accessed in any template without extra queries to get logged in user.

To check whenever a logged in user has permission, we simple call visitor.hasPermission('permission_id') function.

Getting user primary group inside template without extra queries

Whenever you need to get primary group of member who is logged in, we simple call visitor.primaryGroup, this function will give us Object of Groups model.
