Leaf Provider#

After you’ve added the Leaf Provider package to your project, setting the provider up in code is easy.

Add to Droplet#

First, register the LeafProvider.Provider with your Droplet.

import Vapor
import LeafProvider

let config = try Config()
try config.addProvider(LeafProvider.Provider.self)

let drop = try Droplet(config)

...

Configure Droplet#

Once the provider is added to your Droplet, you can configure your Droplet to use the Leaf view renderer.

Config/droplet.json

{
    ...,
    "view": "leaf",
    ...
}

Manual#

You can also set the drop.view property manually if you want to hardcode your view renderer.

import Vapor
import LeafProvider

let view = LeafRenderer(viewsDir: drop.viewsDir)
let drop = try Droplet(view: view)

Done#

Next time you boot your application, your views will be rendered using Leaf.
