What do you use to check if the view exists or not?

bproctor

I don't think there is a particular mechanism built in for this. But you could do something like this:

if (file_exists(APPPATH . 'views/'. $viewfile) === true) &#123;
    $view = View::forge($viewfile);
} else &#123;
    // view doesn't exist
}

Depends. If it's always in your app folder bproctors way will do fine. If the View should exist but might not be found in the app or any package, I tend to just create it and see if it fails. When if fails I catch the exception and make it fallback to a default or error view.
