====== View Vars ======

You may ask, murl, what the helly are View Vars.

IIII got the answer (kinda)

View vars are basically variables that you want in your view (woaow), anything dynamic that you want displayed in your view, that ISN'T able to be gotten by the view itsself, like a list of entries.

Things that you can get by the view itsself:
  * The current date/time
  * The result of a calculation (as long as you get the values)
  * Some other stuff idk

View Vars get passed from the Controller (I should totally explain controller) to a template (I should totally explain templates).

The controller can communicate with the Model to get the necessary Data the view needs and then put it in a view var, which shows up in the associated views as variables that can be used to display shi.

It may be a bit difficult to test view vars properly unless you go check exactly which are set by the controller. Thats where this handy piece of code comes in, with which you can check all the view vars while evaluating expression in a test:

<code php>
$this->_controller?->viewBuilder()->getVars()
