Converting index.php to move into config area per Slim 4 framework

1

Hi I am new to Slim 4.
I am doing a course through Udemy on Slim 3 framework which has the below code in public/index.php I am given an upgrade path to Slim 4 in the course but it does not work.
My question: I see that Slim 4 framework has hardly any setup code in public/index.php.
How would I convert the below from my course to work in Slim 4 framework.
Note: I have read and understood the comment made in the Slim 4 framework about ActionControllers and the fact that they do 1 thing and do it well. I understand that the below example from the Udemy course I took is more focused on Controllers (MVC). I am still trying to wrap my head around the fact that an ActionController can and should only do 1 thing. I.e. what about all the functions that we normally create in an MVC Laravel Controller to do Crud?

Essentially I need to fire up the following in a Controller and SecondController and print a view.
BUT I need to use the DI container in Slim 4 framework container.php to do the work that was being done in index.php below. I.e. create the container and app etc.

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Psr\Container\ContainerExceptionInterface;
use Psr\Container\NotFoundExceptionInterface;
use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
use Psr\Container\ContainerInterface;

abstract class Controller
{
    protected $ci;

    public function __construct(ContainerInterface $ci)
    {
        $this->ci = $ci;
    }

    protected function render(Response $response, $template, $data = [])
    {
        $html = $this->ci->get('templating')->render($template, $data);
        $response->getBody()->write($html);
        return $response;
    }
}

which is then extended in SecondController.php per below.

<?php

namespace App\Controller;

use Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

class SecondController extends Controller
{
    public function hello(Request $request, Response $response)
    {
        return $this->render($response, 'second.twig', ['name' => 'Chris']);
    }
}

I have tried to set up the code below in the config area of the Slim 4 framework but am not having much luck.
I get this error:
Error 500 (Internal Server Error)
Message: No entry or class found for ‘templating’
File: C:\xampp\htdocs\slim4odanpfour\vendor\php-di\php-di\src\Container.php, Line: 133

Below is the index.php code that needs to be simplified / logic that needs to be moved out of index.php. It is this that is stumping me. Hope you can help me.

<?php

use Slim\Factory\AppFactory;
use DI\Container;

require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

$container = new Container();
$container->set('templating', function () {
    return new Mustache_Engine([
        'loader' => new Mustache_Loader_FilesystemLoader(
            __DIR__ . '/../templates',
            ['extension' => '']
        )
    ]);
});

AppFactory::setContainer($container);
$app = AppFactory::create();

$app->get('/', '\App\Controller\FirstController:homepage');
$app->get('/hello', '\App\Controller\SecondController:hello');

$app->run();

One parameter for Mustache_Engine is possibly not correct.

Remove this: ['extension' => ''] and it should work.

Example:

$container->set('templating', function () {
    return new Mustache_Engine(
        [
            'loader' => new Mustache_Loader_FilesystemLoader(__DIR__ . '/../templates'),
        ]
    );
});

Thank you. I managed to sort the above.
I had to rethink my whole approach.
It is working now.
