Helps you create themes faster with more sustainable code. With Timber, you write your HTML using Twig Templates separate from PHP. Check out the full [Project Page](http://timber.upstatement.com) for more info.

== Description ==
Timber cleans-up your theme code so, for example, your php file can focus on being the data, while your twig/html file can focus 100% on the HTML and display.

Once Timber is installed and activated in your plugin directory, it gives any WordPress theme the ability to take advantage of the power of Twig and other Timber features.

#### What does it look like?
Nothing. Timber is meant for you to build a theme on. Like the [Starkers](https://github.com/viewportindustries/starkers) or [Boilerplate theme](https://github.com/zencoder/html5-boilerplate-for-wordpress) it comes style-free, because you're the style expert. Instead, Timber handles the logic you need to make a kick-ass looking site.

#### Who is it good for?
Timber is great for any WordPress developer who cares about writing good, maintainable code. It helps teams of designers and developers working together. At [Upstatement](http://upstatement.com) we made Timber because not everyone knows the ins-and-outs of the_loop(), WordPress codex and PHP (nor should they). With Timber your best WordPress dev can focus on building the .php files with requests from WordPress and pass the data into .twig files. Once there, designers can easily mark-up data and build out a site's look-and-feel.



== Changelog ==

= 0.10.2 =
* added more aliases for easier coding (post.thumbnail instead of post.get_thumbnail, etc.)
* Garbage removal

= 0.10.1 =
* load_template for routing can now accept a query argument
* load_template will wait to load a template so that 'init' actions can fire.
* way more inline documentation
* print_a now includes the output of (most) methods in addition to properites.
* added lots of aliases so that things like .author will work the same as .get_author


== Installation ==

1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
2. For an example, try modifying your home.php or index.php with something like this:

`
$context = array();
$context['message'] = 'Hello Timber!';
Timber::render('welcome.twig', $context);
`

Then create a subdirectory called `views` in your theme folder. The make this file: `views/welcome.twig`
`
{# welcome.twig #}
<div class="welcome">
	<h3>{{message}}</h3>
</div>
`

That's Timber!
