returning views as a data - dp41646 - 02-26-2020
Hi!
I've just installed for first time CI4, and one thing I can't see in docs is old feature of returning views as a data.
This was done by adding third bool parameter (true) when loading view.
I can see that now there are array as a third option parameter, so is there any option similar to this old feature?
Thx

In CI4 views are actually returning data, so you could do this in controller:
PHP Code:
$pageContent = $view->render('myview'); //now $pageContent has rendered HTML page
Also you might find interesting new feature ViewCells, it works same way: https://codeigniter4.github.io/userguide/outgoing/view_cells.html
