Specialized View Rendering

Views can render each other in specialized manners such as passing models etc.

The following functions allows for regular view retrieving/rendering (Compatible below v2.0.4)

auto view(string name, bool checkRoute = false)
- Returns a generic view that can be cast to specific view types, however with v2.0.4 you can use viewSpecialized() instead of casting.
string retrieve(string name)
- Retrieves the default html generated by the view to retrieve (name is the name of the view)
void render(string name)
- Will render the view retrieved into the current view. (name is the name of the view to render)

The following functions allow for specialized view retrieving/rendering (Compatible with v2.0.4+)

It's preferred to use the following functions unless you retrieve view names from runtime variables.

void render(string name, string id, string placeHolder, string view)
- Will render a view into the current view, but with another view rendered into the given placeholder.
string retrieve(string name)()
- Does the same thing as string retrieve(string name) but the name is passed during compile-time.
void render(string name)()
- Does the same as void render(string name) but the name is passed during compile-time.
void render(string name)(string id, string placeHolder, string view)
- Does the same as void render(string name, string id, string placeHolder, string view) but the name is passed during compile-time.
string retrieve(string name, TModel)(TModel model)
- Retrieves the html generated by the view to retrieve using its model (name is the name of the view)
void render(string name, TModel)(TModel model)
- Will render the view retrieved into the current view using its model (name is the name of the view to render)
void render(string view, TModel)(string name, string id, string placeHolder, TModel model)
- Will render a view into the current view, but with another view rendered using its model into the given placeholder.

Example

view1.dd

@[
  model:
    Foo
]

<p>@=model.bar;</p>

view2.dd

@{
    auto foo = new Foo;
    foo.bar = "Hello World!";
}

@:this.render!("view1", Foo)(foo);

Output of view2:

<p>Hello World!</p>
