Views#

Views return HTML data from your application. They can be created from pure HTML documents or passed through renderers such as Mustache or Stencil.

Views Directory#

Views are stored in Resources/Views. They are created by calling the view method on Droplet.

HTML#

Returning HTML, or any other non-rendered document, is simple. Just use the path of the document relative to the views directory.

drop.get("html") { request in
    return try drop.view.make("index.html")
}

Templating#

Templated documents like Leaf, Mustache, or Stencil can take a Context.

drop.get("template") { request in
	return try drop.view.make("welcome", [
		"message": "Hello, world!"
	])
}

Public Resources#

Any resources that your views need, such as images, styles, and scripts, should be placed in the Public folder at the root of your application.

View Renderer#

Any class that conforms to ViewRenderer can be added to our droplet.

let drop = Droplet()

drop.view = LeafRenderer(viewsDir: drop.viewsDir)

Available Renderers#

These renderers can be added to your application through Providers.

• Leaf

• Mustache
