Getting Started¶
The easiest way to render a template using Stencil is to create a template and call render on it providing a context.
let template = Template(templateString: "Hello {{ name }}")
try template.render(["name": "kyle"])
For more advanced uses, you would normally create an Environment
and call
the renderTemplate
convinience method.
let environment = Environment()
let context = ["name": "kyle"]
try environment.renderTemplate(string: "Hello {{ name }}", context: context)
Template Loaders¶
A template loader allows you to load files from disk or elsewhere. Using a
FileSystemLoader
we can easily render a template from disk.
For example, to render a template called index.html
inside the
templates/
directory we can use the following:
let fsLoader = FileSystemLoader(paths: ["templates/"])
let environment = Environment(loader: fsLoader)
let context = ["name": "kyle"]
try environment.renderTemplate(name: "index.html", context: context)
