How do you configure view settings in Phalcon?

To configure view settings in Phalcon, follow these minimal steps:

1. Set Up View Component

In Phalcon, you configure the view in your application’s DI (Dependency Injection) container.

Example

<?php
use Phalcon\Mvc\View;
use Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault;

$di = new FactoryDefault();

$di->set('view', function() {
    $view = new View();
    $view->setViewsDir('../app/views/');  // Set the views directory
    return $view;
});
?>

2. Configure View Options

You can configure additional view settings such as partials, layouts, etc.

Example

<?php
$view->setLayoutsDir('../app/layouts/');    // Set the layouts directory
$view->setMainView('main');                 // Set the main layout view
$view->setPartialsDir('../app/partials/');  // Set the partials directory
?>

3. Use the View in Controllers

In your controllers, you can now use the view to render templates:

Example

<?php
class IndexController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        $this->view->pick('index');  // Render the 'index' view
    }
}
?>
