## Template interfaces
Fiber provides a Views interface to provide your own template engine:
```go
type Views interface {
Load() error
Render(out io.Writer, name string, binding any, layout ...string) error
}
```
`Views` interface contains a `Load` and `Render` method, `Load` is executed by Fiber on app initialization to load/parse the templates.
```go
// Pass engine to Fiber's Views Engine
app := fiber.New(fiber.Config{
Views: engine,
// Views Layout is the global layout for all template render until override on Render function.
ViewsLayout: "layouts/main"
})
```
The `Render` method is linked to the [**ctx.Render\(\)**](../api/ctx.md#render) function that accepts a template name and binding data. It will use global layout if layout is not being defined in `Render` function.
If the Fiber config option `PassLocalsToViews` is enabled, then all locals set using `ctx.Locals(key, value)` will be passed to the template.
```go
app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
return c.Render("index", fiber.Map{
"hello": "world",
});
})
```
## Engines
Fiber team maintains [templates](https://docs.gofiber.io/template) package that provides wrappers for multiple template engines:
* [ace](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/ace/)
* [amber](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/amber/)
* [django](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/django/)
* [handlebars](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/handlebars)
* [html](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/html)
* [jet](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/jet)
* [mustache](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/mustache)
* [pug](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/pug)
* [slim](https://docs.gofiber.io/template/slim)

// If you want other engine, just replace with following

})
app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
