.
This was extracted from app/controllers/IndexController.php.
This time round, we’re using an extractMeta() method to pull the meta data string out of the
template string, and a parseMeta() method to split the lines of metadata into key/value pairs.
The result is a functional means of storing and parsing meta data, and rendering the remaining
template from and to a string.
.
The minify method is largely unmodified from the original, which I found at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6225

Creating Layouts
We need to create some sort of admin interface, with which to create and/or modify pages and
layouts. Let’s skip the authentication system (as we’ve done that before and it will distract from the
focus of this tutorial).
I’ve chosen for us to use Flysystem when working with the filesystem. It would be a good idea to
future-proof this dependency by wrapping it in a subclass which implements an interface we control.
