<h1>My Layout</h1>
<?=$this->getSection('content')?>

extend('layouts/default.phtml'); ?>

startSection('pageTitle', 'My Page'); ?>

startSection('content'); ?>
View content here
endSection(); ?>

Usage

This example uses the PHP Extended engine., _(*6)

use Avalon\Templating\View;
use Avalon\Templating\View\Engines\PhpExtended;

// Instantiate the engine
$engine = new PhpExtended;

// Set it as the engine for the `View` singleton to use.
View::setEngine($engine);

// Add some paths to search for views in
View::addPath('/path/to/views/directory');
View::addPath('/path/to/another/views/directory');

// Render a view
View::render('my_view.phtml');

// Variables can also be passed to views like so:
View::render('my_view.phtml', ['variableName' => 'Variable value']);
