README

Switon's view layer for router-mapped HTML actions, request-local state, widgets, and layout/block rendering.

Highlights

• View routing: #[ViewMapping] and related attributes route page actions into the HTML view flow.
• Flexible template resolution: ViewInterface::render() accepts direct template paths and Controller::Action targets.
• Shared layout shell: setLayout(), @section, and @yield let page templates reuse one wrapper.
• Request-local view state: ViewContext keeps layout, variables, and rendered content together.
• Widget support: reusable page parts can be built with widget contracts.
• HTTP bridge: ViewRenderer turns action return values into rendered HTML responses.

Installation

composer require switon/view
