View

Description

The view function allows you to render any of the view files that you place within the /views directory. When you call view, Pode will automatically look within this directory.

Pode uses a View Engine to either render HTML, Pode, or other types. Default is HTML, and you can change it to Pode by using the engine function.

Examples

1. The following example will render the index.html view when you navigate to http://localhost:8080:

    Server {
        listen *:8080 http
   
        route get '/' {
            view 'index'
        }
    }

2. The following example will render the index.pode view when you navigate to http://localhost:8080:

    Server {
        listen *:8080 http
        engine pode
   
        route get '/' {
            view 'index'
        }
    }

3. The following example will render the index.pode view when you navigate to http://localhost:8080, it will also supply dynamic data - in this case, the current date:

   The dynamic data can be used in your pode view via $($data.date)

    Server {
        listen *:8080 http
        engine pode
   
        route get '/' {
            view 'index' -d @{ 'date' = [DateTime]::Now }
        }
    }
