Augmenting Hello World to use a Trimpath Template

First, create the HelloWorld application. Go to the javascript link in the portal and update the Main instance to the read the following:

zimki.library.require('trimpath.js');
function hello() { 
    return zimki.render.trimpath('hello', {});
}    
zimki.publishPath("/", hello);

Next, we need to create the template "hello". Click on the templates link in the portal and click Create instance. Type "hello" into the Instance name box, and the following into the Template box:

<html>
<head>
  <title>my greeting</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h1>Hello World, using a template</h1>
</body>
</html>

That's it. Visit your realm and you should see the message Hello World, using a template.

What did we do?

First we imported the 'trimpath.js' library. Then we amended our function, hello(), to return the result of rendering the template called 'hello' instead of returning a static string. Then we simply publish the function to a path, as before.
