# Output

$this->output->method()

# Introduction

Light-PHP comes with a tiny but useful template engine, it can output templates, replacing placeholders by variables, it can output the template directly to the end user, or returning as string, it can add JS and CSS files to one specific template and more.

# Output template

For outputting the template, you use the $this->output->load() method, which receives a string path to the template file (normally, under src/view/template path).

# Example

To load the template with the variables you just use the $this->output->load();
$this->output->load("folder/templateName", $array_with_data);

# Before:

	<p><?php echo $user_name ?></p>
	<p><?php echo $user_address ?></p>

# After:

	<p>{{user_name}}</p>
	<p>{{user_addresss}}</p>

# Load template

In case you want to get the template as string and don't output it, you can use the method loadTemplate() which returns the compiled template as string

# Adding JS and CSS

In case you want to add JS and CSS files from PHP (for dynamic pages for example) you can use addJS() and addCSS() before loading the template
