/**
 * View, the V in the MVC triad. View interacts with Helpers and view variables passed
 * in from the controller to render the results of the controller action. Often this is HTML,
 * but can also take the form of JSON, XML, PDF's or streaming files.
 *
 * CakePHP uses a two-step-view pattern. This means that the template content is rendered first,
 * and then inserted into the selected layout. This also means you can pass data from the template to the
 * layout using `$this->set()`
 *
 * View class supports using plugins as themes. You can set
 *
 * ```
 * public function beforeRender(\Cake\Event\Event $event)
 * {
 *      $this->viewBuilder()->setTheme('SuperHot');
 * }
 * ```
 *
 * in your Controller to use plugin `SuperHot` as a theme. Eg. If current action
 * is PostsController::index() then View class will look for template file
 * `plugins/SuperHot/Template/Posts/index.ctp`. If a theme template
 * is not found for the current action the default app template file is used.
