# View Rendering ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when creating ColdBox views, rendering partials, passing data between handlers and views, and implementing view caching strategies. ## Language Mode Reference Examples use **BoxLang (`.bx`)** syntax by default. Adapt for your target language: | Concept | BoxLang (`.bx`) | CFML (`.cfc`) | |---------|-----------------|---------------| | Class declaration | `class [extends="..."] {` | `component [extends="..."] {` | | DI annotation | `@inject` above `property name="svc";` | `property name="svc" inject="svc";` | | View templates | `.bxm` suffix | `.cfm` / `.cfml` suffix | | Tag prefix | `<bx:if>`, `<bx:output>`, `<bx:set>` | `<cfif>`, `<cfoutput>`, `<cfset>` | > **CFML Compat Mode**: With BoxLang + CFML Compat module, `.bx` and `.cfc` files coexist freely. BoxLang-native classes use `class {}` (`.bx` files); CFML-compat classes use `component {}` (`.cfc` files). ## Core Concepts ColdBox views: - Live in `views/` directory and match handler naming conventions - Receive data from handlers via `prc` (private request collection) - Are wrapped in layouts unless `noLayout()` is called - Can render partials with `renderView()` or `#renderView()#` - Can be cached per template or per event - Can render module-specific views ## Basic View Structure ```cfml <!--- views/users/index.cfm ---> <cfoutput> <div class="container"> <h1>Users</h1> <cfif flash.exists( "success" )> <div class="alert alert-success">
