To create your html template view, you must do that inside resources/views or if you have s sub custom directory inside.
When you pass an array parameter to your $app->render('foo')->view([...]), you can get the values in your template by simply echoing the key using $this keyword and underscore prefix _, before the key name. example echo $this->_name.
To access a class instance you registered in your application controller you don’t need underscore _, You can just call $this->MyClass->doSomething() depending on the name you have registered your class instance with.
If you are using a Smarty template engin or App\Config\Template::$optionsAsVariable is set to true, you can access view options as variable name $foo instead of $this->_foo
Luminova supports Smarty template engine or default the PHP template.
user.php
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Luminova User</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="<?php echo $this->_assets;?>images/icons/favicon.png">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome <?= $this->_name; ?></h1>
<a href="<?= $this->_base; ?>">Go Home</a>
</body>
</html>
user.tpl
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>Luminova User</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" type="image/png" href="{$assets}images/icons/favicon.png">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Welcome {$name}</h1>
<a href="{$base}">Go Home</a>
</body>
</html>
To configure your template view default options, you can pass array of options to render view with.
$app->view("user")->render([
"active" => "String: Set the name of activate view,"
"ContentType" => "String: Set the rendering content type of view [json, text or html], the default is html",
"optimize" => "Boolean: Enable or disable view optimization. The default is true. But before it work you have to enable it in your initialization environment config file .env",
"title" => "String: Set view title"
"subtitle" => "String: Set view subtitle",
"base" => "String: Set project base directory",
"assets" => "String: Set project assets directory"
]);
