**create a simple view to hold ALL view logic**

```
class MyView
{
    protected $title = 'Hello';
    protected function logic()
    {
        return 'World!';
    }
}
```

**add mask**

```
use Taviroquai\Mask\Mask;

class MyView
{
    use Mask;

    protected $title = 'Hello';
    protected function logic()
    {
        return 'World!';
    }
}
```

**now create an HTML file: template.html**

```

{{ title }}
{{ if logic }}{{ logic }}{{ endif }}

$view = new MyView;
echo $view->mask('template');
