Views return HTML data from your application. They can be created from pure HTML documents or passed through renderers such as Stencil or Your preferred template engines.

Stencil

Stencil is a simple and powerful template language for Swift. It provides a syntax similar to Django and Mustache. If you're familiar with these, you will feel right at home with Stencil.

Usage

1. Create View Directory

cd /path/to/YourApp/
mkdir ./Views

2. add Views/index.stencil

<html>
  <head>
    <title>{{name}}</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    Welcome to {{name}}!
  </body>
</html>

3. Respond to the renderd content with response.render

import Slimane
import StencilViewEngine

app.use(.get, "/") { request, response, responder in
    var response = response
    let stencil = StencilViewEngine(path: "index" , context: Context(dictionary: ["name": "Slimane"]))
    response.render(with: stencil)
    responder(.respond(response))
}

Others

You can create own ViewEngine for Slimane.
