# Kostache
Kostache is a [Kohana 3](https://github.com/kohana/kohana) module for using [Mustache](http://mustache.github.com/) templates in your application.
## Usage
To use, simply create a POPO (Plain Old PHP Object) like so:
```php
<?php
class View_Test
{
public $hello = 'world';
public function testing()
{
return 'foobar';
}
}
```
And create a mustache renderer. The parameter to the engine method is the template name to use.
```php
<?php
$renderer = Kostache::factory();
```
And render it:
```php
<?php
$this->response->body($renderer->render(new View_Test));
```
## Templates
Templates should go in the `templates/` directory in your cascading file system. They should have a .mustache extension.
## Partials
Partials are loaded automatically based on the name used in the template. So if you reference `{{>foobar}}` in your template, it will look for that partial in `templates/partials/foobar.mustache`.
# Layouts
KOstache supports layouts. To use, just add a `templates/layout.mustache` file (a simple one is already provided), and use `Kostache_Layout` for your renderer instead of `Kostache`. You'll probably want to put a `$title` property in your view class. The layout should include a `{{>content}}` partial to render the body of the page.
