Simple example

Here is a simple example of how to use Plates. We will assume the following directory structure:

`-- path
    `-- to
        `-- templates
            |-- template.php
            |-- profile.php

Within your controller​

// Create new Plates instance
$templates = new Jinya\Plates\Engine('/path/to/templates');

// Render a template
echo $templates->render('profile', ['name' => 'Jonathan']);

The page template​

profile.php
<?php $this->layout('template', ['title' => 'User Profile']) ?>

<h1>User Profile</h1>
<p>Hello, <?=$this->e($name)?></p>

The layout template​

template.php
<html>
<head>
    <title><?=$this->e($title)?></title>
</head>
<body>

<?=$this->section('content')?>

</body>
</html>
