You might create your own base controller, which extends this controller.

data	Data to be passed to view or outputted	[]
response	Static version of data	This is used by Response helper

Usage

<?php
// set model
$this->model = $this->getModel('Name')

$this->data['key'] = 'value';

Rendering

There are 3 default render functions. render, renderTwig and json.

• json outputs pure json from data + response arrays
• renderTwig renders twig file
• render is for pure PHP view

you can write your own render function by creating your own base controller and then passing function name to $app->settings['renderFunction']
