# Views
|
|
|
|
In Strapi, views are markup templates that are compiled on the server into HTML pages.
|
|
In most cases, views are used as the response to an incoming HTTP request.
|
|
|
|
By default, Strapi doesn't use views. The philosophy of the framework is to
|
|
separate the reusable backend application logic from the frontend.
|
|
|
|
If you want to activate views, set the `views` in `./config/general.json`.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you want to use `lodash` for `.html` files and use it by default,
|
|
you may set up your `views` object as below:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
"views": {
|
|
"map": {
|
|
"html": "lodash"
|
|
},
|
|
"default": "html"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Views are defined in your application's `./views` directory.
|
|
|
|
## Render a view
|
|
|
|
Simply use `this.render` instead of `this.body` to render a view.
|
|
|
|
You don't need to specify the view extension if you use the default one sets in config.
|
|
|
|
Using the config we wrote above with `lodash` for `.html` files and use the `html`
|
|
extension by default, this example will render `./views/user.html` with
|
|
Lodash as template engine.
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
yield this.render('user', {
|
|
firstname: 'John',
|
|
lastname: 'Doe'
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<html>
|
|
<head>...</head>
|
|
<body>
|
|
<p>Firstname: <% firstname %><br>Lastname: <% lastname %></p>
|
|
</body>
|
|
</html>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here is the same example with the `jade` extension, not used by default:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
yield this.render('user.jade', {
|
|
firstname: 'John',
|
|
lastname: 'Doe'
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Supported template engines
|
|
|
|
To use a view engine, you should use npm to install it in your project and
|
|
set the `map` object in `strapi.config.views`. For example, if you want to use
|
|
`swig` for `.html` files and `hogan` for `.md` files, you may configure the
|
|
`map` object as below:
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
{
|
|
"views": {
|
|
"map": {
|
|
"html": "swig",
|
|
"md": "hogan"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Strapi supports all of those view engines:
