<h2><a class="toc-backref" href="#id1" role="doc-backlink">Using the View Renderer</a><a class="headerlink" href="#using-the-view-renderer" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h2>
<p>The <a class="reference internal" href="../general/common_functions.html#view" title="view"><code class="xref php php-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">view()</span></code></a> function is a convenience function that grabs an instance of the
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">renderer</span></code> service, sets the data, and renders the view. While this is often
exactly what you want, you may find times where you want to work with it more directly.
In that case you can access the View service directly:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+php notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$view</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nx">\Config\Services</span><span class="o">::</span><span class="na">renderer</span><span class="p">();</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Alternately, if you are not using the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">View</span></code> class as your default renderer, you
can instantiate it directly:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+php notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$view</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">new</span> <span class="nx">\CodeIgniter\View\View</span><span class="p">();</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<div class="admonition important">
<p class="admonition-title">Important</p>
<p>You should create services only within controllers. If you need
access to the View class from a library, you should set that as a dependency
in your librarys constructor.</p>
</div>
<p>Then you can use any of the three standard methods that it provides:
<a class="reference internal" href="#CodeIgniter\View\View::render" title="CodeIgniter\View\View::render"><code class="xref php php-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render()</span></code></a>,
<a class="reference internal" href="#CodeIgniter\View\View::setVar" title="CodeIgniter\View\View::setVar"><code class="xref php php-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setVar()</span></code></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="#CodeIgniter\View\View::setData" title="CodeIgniter\View\View::setData"><code class="xref php php-meth docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setData()</span></code></a>.</p>
<section id="what-it-does">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id2" role="doc-backlink">What It Does</a><a class="headerlink" href="#what-it-does" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">View</span></code> class processes conventional HTML/PHP scripts stored in the applications view path,
after extracting view parameters into PHP variables, accessible inside the scripts.
This means that your view parameter names need to be legal PHP variable names.</p>
<p>The View class uses an associative array internally, to accumulate view parameters
until you call its <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">render()</span></code>. This means that your parameter (or variable) names
need to be unique, or a later variable setting will over-ride an earlier one.</p>
<p>This also impacts escaping parameter values for different contexts inside your
script. You will have to give each escaped value a unique parameter name.</p>
<p>No special meaning is attached to parameters whose value is an array. It is up
to you to process the array appropriately in your PHP code.</p>

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" role="doc-backlink">Escaping Data</a><a class="headerlink" href="#escaping-data" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h3>
<p>When you pass data to the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setVar()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setData()</span></code> functions you have the option to escape the data to protect
against cross-site scripting attacks. As the last parameter in either method, you can pass the desired context to
escape the data for. See below for context descriptions.</p>
<p>If you dont want the data to be escaped, you can pass <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">null</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'raw'</span></code> as the final parameter to each function:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+php notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$view</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">setVar</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;one&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$one</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;raw&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If you choose not to escape data, or you are passing in an object instance, you can manually escape the data within
the view with the <a class="reference internal" href="../general/common_functions.html#esc" title="esc"><code class="xref php php-func docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">esc()</span></code></a> function. The first parameter is the string to escape. The second parameter is the
context to escape the data for (see below):</p>
<div class="highlight-html+php notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="o">&lt;?=</span> <span class="nx">esc</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$object</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">getStat</span><span class="p">())</span> <span class="cp">?&gt;</span>

<h4>Escaping Contexts<a class="headerlink" href="#escaping-contexts" title="Permalink to this heading"></a></h4>
<p>By default, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">esc()</span></code> and, in turn, the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setVar()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">setData()</span></code> functions assume that the data you want to
escape is intended to be used within standard HTML. However, if the data is intended for use in Javascript, CSS,
or in an href attribute, you would need different escaping rules to be effective. You can pass in the name of the
context as the second parameter. Valid contexts are <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'html'</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'js'</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'css'</span></code>, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'url'</span></code>, and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'attr'</span></code>:</p>
