template folder routing?

Hey Tony,

For this, you'll need to look into the Slim source.

Go to vendor/slim/slim/Slim/View.php, you're looking for the render method on line 268.

<?php

    protected function render($template, $data = null)
    {
        $templatePathname = $this->getTemplatePathname($template);

        if (!is_file($templatePathname)) {
            throw new \RuntimeException("View cannot render `$template` because the template does not exist");
        }

        $data = array_merge($this->data->all(), (array) $data);
        extract($data);
        ob_start();
        require $templatePathname;

        return ob_get_clean();
    }

This is eventually what get's called on $app->render() method.

You'll notice it calls 'getTemplatePathname'. In that method (up the page) it prefixes the templates directory to the template file name (in this case index.html).

The templatesDirectory is set from a default value (vendor/slim/slim/Slim/Slim.php line 285) under [templates.path]. The default value is './templates', which is why you don't need to pass the path into the render action.

You can customise these settings when your initialise a new instance of Slim. Essentially, you just pass in an array to the construct and it will override the defaults - (see here)[http://docs.slimframework.com/configuration/settings/] for more info!

It felt pretty massive when I started looking into project sources - let me know if you need any more help looking around :)
