[](#example)

Create `Response` object, set `views` and `compilers` directory, create a `View` object. Render view with `render()` method passing response, template and data. Finally, emit response.

```
use Embryo\Http\Emitter\Emitter;
use Embryo\Http\Factory\{ResponseFactory, StreamFactory};
use Embryo\View\View;

$response      = (new ResponseFactory)->createResponse(200);
$templatePath  = __DIR__.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'views';
$compilerPath  = __DIR__.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'compilers';
$view          = new View($templatePath, $compilerPath);

$response = $view->render($response, 'page', ['message' => 'Hello World!', 'status' => 1]);

$emitter = new Emitter;
$emitter->emit($response);
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Create and render views

[](#create-and-render-views)

If you want create a template with partials file, you can write this:

```

        {{ $title }}

```

```

@include('header', ['title' => $title])

        {{ $title }}

```

In this example you can use `@include(filename, data)` for include header.php in home.php passing data to file. Embryo View will compile the file by replacing the alternative syntax in PHP code. Finally, you may display page with render:

```
$response = $view->render($response, 'home', ['title' => 'Hello World!']);
```

### Display data

[](#display-data)

You may display the contents of the name variable like so:

```
{{ $name }} // echo htmlentites($name)

```

If you want display html content use like so:

```
{{{ $html }}} // echo $html

```

If you use VueJs mustache templating, you may use like so:

```
@{{ myVar }} // echo {{ myVar }}

```

### If statements

[](#if-statements)

You may construct if statements using the `@if`, `@elseif`, `@else`, and `@endif` directives.

```
@if ($status == 1)
    Status is 1
@elseif ($status == 2)
    Status is 2
@else
    Status is {{ $status }}
@endif

```

### Loops

[](#loops)

Embryo View provides simple directives for working with PHP's loop structures (`for`, `foreach` and `while`):

```
@for ($i = 0; $i < 10; $i++)
    Value is {{ $i }}
@endfor

@foreach ($users as $user)
    User id is {{ $user->id }}
@endforeach

@while ($user = $users)
    User id is {{ $user->id }}
@endwhile

```

### PHP

[](#php)

You can use the `@php` directive to execute a block of plain PHP within your template:

```
@php
    $a = 1;
    echo  $a;
@endphp

```
