# MVVM
Views contain the HTML served by your application and separate your ViewModel code-behind logic from your presentation logic. Views are saved in the `resources/views/templates` directory. A simple view would look like this:
```php
```
Every View in a view-model extends a given layout by default and the layout markup looks like so:
```php
<?=$this->getSite()->getTitle()?>
printCss()?>
renderBody()?>
printJs()?>
```
The `$this->renderBody()` section is where a basic view of a `view-model` is rendered, the layout can be structured in anyway as your application requires, since it's just markup.
#### How to include a given ViewModel in view (with its data)
When it comes to managing view-model segments in your application, yuga is very smart, it will not include the layout on a given view-model if it's included in a view like so:
```php
viewModel(new App\ViewModels\Test)?>
```
When the Test view-model is viewed on its own, it will include the default layout, but when included in a view as a view-model, the layout is left out.
#### Including a given snippet (not a view-model)
All that is needed in this case is as below:
```php
display('snippets.user', ['name' => 'Hamnaj'])?>
```
The display method in a view will include a given snippet where ever it's saved and pass the data to that snippet since it's not a view-model on its own.
