# Getting Started
## Prepare the template file
Create a new directory named `templates` in the same directory as `Cargo.toml`. Copy the following contents and paste it to a new file named `templates/hello.stpl`.
```rhtml
<html>
<body>
<% for msg in &messages { %>
<div><%= msg %></div>
<% } %>
</body>
</html>
```
Now your project structure should be like this:
```text
Cargo.toml
src/
(Source files)
templates/
hello.stpl
```
## Render the template
<ol><li>Import the sailfish crates:</li></ol>
```rust
use sailfish::RenderOnce;
```
<ol start="2"><li>Define the template struct to be rendered:</li></ol>
```rust
#[derive(RenderOnce)] // automatically implement `TemplateOnce` trait
#[template(path = "hello.stpl")] // specify the path to template
struct HelloTemplate {
// data to be passed to the template
messages: Vec<String>,
}
```
<ol start="3"><li>Render the data with <code>render_once()</code> method.</li></ol>
```rust
fn main() {
let ctx = HelloTemplate {
messages: vec![String::from("foo"), String::from("bar")],
};
// Now render templates with given data
println!("{}", ctx.render_once().unwrap());
}
```
That's it!
