Introduction

The Render Layer is a extendible and pragmatic way to write your render pipeline. It allows you to write HTML declaratively and use the full power of the backend to render it.

So, for example, instead of writing this:

<?php
echo '<div class="container">';

$item = "Hello World"

echo '<div class="item">';
echo $item;
echo '</div>';

echo '</div>';

You can write this:

<?php

use \Approach\Render\HTML;

$div = new HTML(tag: 'div', classes: ['container']);

$items = ["Hello World", "Cool Stuff", "Awesome"];

foreach ($items as $item) {
    $div[] = new HTML(tag: 'div', classes: ['item'], content: $item);
}

echo $div;

The result is the same, but the second example is more readable and maintainable, not to mention that it integrates better with Approach as a whole.
