GoodView - Extremely simple and standard compliant view implementation of MVC pattern
=====================================================================================

[](#goodview---extremely-simple-and-standard-compliant-view-implementation-of-mvc-pattern)

1. What is GoodView?
--------------------

[](#1-what-is-goodview)

It is a simple MVC view implementation. By default GoodView uses PHP as template engine but it can be adapted to use any. It supports PSR-7 stream rendering so it can be easily used in HTTP middleware. GoodView supports nested views and layout views.

2. Installation
---------------

[](#2-installation)

```
composer require idealogica/good-view:~1.0.0

```

3. Basic example
----------------

[](#3-basic-example)

```
$viewFactory = ViewFactory::createStreamViewFactory(
    new StreamFactory(),
    ['content' => ''],
    [__DIR__ . '/templates']
);
$view = $viewFactory->create('test');
$stream = $view->render(); // StreamInterface instance
$contents = $stream->getContents(); // rendered string

```
