```

You can also **clone the complete repository** with Git:

```
$ git clone https://github.com/treggor/Vinder.git

```

Or **install it manually**:

[Download Vinder.php](https://github.com/tregor/Vinder/archive/master.zip):

```
$ wget https://github.com/tregor/Vinder/archive/master.zip

```

[](#quick-start-and-usage)

To use this class with **Composer**:

```
require __DIR__ . '/vendor/autoload.php';
use tregor\Vinder;
```

Or If you installed it **manually**, use it:

```
require_once __DIR__ . '/Vinder.php';
use tregor\Vinder;
```

After it you can do any your code, and than, create new Vinder object, provide template name, data array (that will be converted to vars) and optionaly set parsePHP flag (default - FALSE)

```
$data = [
    "foo" => "bar",
    "greetings" => "Hello, Vinder!",
];
new Vinder("main", $data, TRUE);
