Context and Description

Is it possible use response to render html string?

Environment Details

macOS 10.15.6
Xcode 11.6
Swift 5.2.4

Expected

app.router.post("/some/path", handler: post)

func post(request: RouterRequest, response: RouterResponse, next: @escaping () -> Void) throws {
    .
    .
    let html = try response.renderHTML("My.stencil", context: context)
    try response.send(json: ["status": true, "html": html]).status(.OK).end()
}

renderHTML(context: options:) in RouterResponse.swift

public func renderHTML(_ resource: String, 
                       context: [String: Any],
                       options: RenderingOptions = NullRenderingOptions()) throws -> String {
    guard let router = getRouterThatCanRender(resource: resource) else {
        throw TemplatingError.noTemplateEngineForExtension(extension: "")
    }
    return try router.render(template: resource, context: context, options: options)
}

I think it should be fine. Just make sure you set your Content-Type to text-html.
