Diving into Scala templates
A Twirl template is composed of parameters and content. The following figure shows the components of a login page template called login.scala.html:
Note
The parameters must be declared first since they are used as the parameters of the apply method of the generated template object. For example, for the main.scala.html template, shown in the preceding code, the apply method will be:
def apply/*1.2*/(title: String)(content:play.api.twirl.Html):play.api.templates.HtmlFormat.Appendable = {...}The template content can be HTML as well as Scala code.
For example, let's look at some defaultpages (accessible through the object views.html.defaultpages) bundled along with Play. The default view for this action is not implemented; todo.scala.html has no template parameters and has plain HTML for its content. It is defined as follows:
<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>
<title>TODO</title>
