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
