# View Source EEx.SmartEngine (EEx v1.16.3)

The default engine used by EEx.

It includes assigns (like `@foo`) and possibly other conveniences in the future.

## Examples

    iex> EEx.eval_string("<%= @foo %>", assigns: [foo: 1])
    "1"

In the example above, we can access the value `foo` under the binding `assigns` using `@foo`. This is useful because a template, after being compiled, can receive different assigns and would not require recompilation for each variable set.

Assigns can also be used when compiled to a function:

    # sample.eex
    <%= @a + @b %>

    # sample.ex
    defmodule Sample do
      require EEx
      EEx.function_from_file(:def, :sample, "sample.eex", [:assigns])
    end

    # iex
    Sample.sample(a: 1, b: 2)
    #=> "3"
