Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

### Install

[](#install)

If you use composer in your project then you can to install Fenom as package.

### Setup

[](#setup)

There is two-way to create Fenom instance:

- Long way: use operator `new`
- Shot way: use static factory-method

**Long way.** Create you own template provider or default provider `Fenom\Provider` (that is provider read [there](./)). Using provider instance create Fenom instance:

```
$fenom = new Fenom(new Fenom\Provider($template_dir));
```

After that, set compile directory:

```
$fenom->setCompileDir($template_cache_dir);
```

This directory will be used for storing compiled templates, therefore it should be writable for Fenom. Now Fenom is ready to work and now you can to configure it:

```
$fenom->setOptions($options);
```

**Short way.** Creating an object via factory method with arguments from long way.

```
$fenom = Fenom::factory($template_dir, $template_cache_dir, $options);
```

Now Fenom is ready to work.
