I have a manifest.json file that loads correctly when placed in the root directory of my wesite. Instead of it being a static file, I would like to use php variables from within my site to populate the values inside of the manifest.
I can't find any information on this in the spec , and I'm not sure if it's possible.
I've tried switching the name of my manifest to manifest.php
and used header('Content-Type: application/json')
within it.
Inside my index file head:
<script src="<?php echo $SITE_URL;?>/main.js"></script>
<script src="<?php echo $SITE_URL;?>/sw.js"></script>
<link rel="manifest" href="<?php echo $SITE_URL;?>/manifest.php">
Inside my manifest.php:
<?php header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo "
{
\"name\": \"$SiteName\",
\"gcm_user_visible_only\": true,
\"short_name\": \"$Name\",
\"description\": \"$PageDescription.\",
\"start_url\": \"/index.php\",
\"display\": \"standalone\",
\"orientation\": \"portrait\",
\"background_color\": \"$darkblue\",
\"theme_color\": \"#f0f0f0\",
\"icons\": [{
\"src\": \"logo-load.png\",
\"sizes\": \"96x96 128x128 144x144\",
\"type\": \"image/png\"
},{
\"src\": \"logo-icon.png\",
\"sizes\": \"48x48 72x72\",
\"type\": \"image/png\"
}]
}
";
?>
The variables $SiteName, $Name, $PageDescription, $darkblue, etc
are all defined within my document head before the manifest.php is loaded.
Is what I'm trying possible?
Main question I have is where are these constants pulled from? Sometimes people set them at the server host level and import them ( environment variables ). Another option (sort of blurs with what you are doing) is to parse an INI file .
I would do something like the following:
<?php
$siteName = 'foo';
$name = 'bar';
$pageDescription = 'baz';
$manifest = [
"name" => $siteName,
"gcm_user_visible_only" => true,
"short_name" => $name,
"description" => $pageDescription,
"start_url" => "/index.php",
"display" => "standalone",
"orientation" => "portrait",
"background_color" => $darkblue,
"theme_color" => "#f0f0f0",
"icons" => [
"src" => "logo-load.png",
"sizes"=> "96x96 128x128 144x144",
"type" => "image/png"
],
"src" => "logo-icon.png",
"sizes" => "48x48 72x72",
"type" => "image/png"
];
header('Content-Type: application/json');
echo json_encode($manifest);
