load different view files when switching the url

Question

I would like to create a Nextcloud app and followed this tutorial

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/16/developer_manual/app/intro.html

After creating the app skeleton I added some routes to routes.php

<?php
return [
    'routes' => [
       ['name' => 'page#index', 'url' => '/', 'verb' => 'GET'],
       ['name' => 'test#index', 'url' => '/test/:value', 'verb' => 'GET'],
       ['name' => 'user#index', 'url' => '/user', 'verb' => 'GET']
    ]
];

I created some controllers by following this guide

https://docs.nextcloud.com/server/16/developer_manual/app/requests/controllers.html

My PageController.php delivers the index template

public function index() {
    return new TemplateResponse('demoappct', 'index');  // templates/index.php
}

the TestController.php delivers the test template

public function index() {
    return new TemplateResponse('demoappct', 'test');  // templates/test.php
}

and the UserController.php delivers the user template.

I extended the navbar.php with these routes

<ul>
    <li>
        <a href="#/">
            Main page
        </a>
    </li>
    <li>
        Header for grouped links
    </li>
    <li>
        <ul>
            <li>
                <a href="#/test/12345">
                    Route with param
                </a>
            </li>
            <li>
                <a href="#/user">
                    User Info
                </a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </li>
</ul>

In the templates folder where index.php is I added the view files test.php and user.php.

I changed the generated index.php to

<?php
script('demoappct', 'index');
style('demoappct', 'base');
?>

<div id="app">
    <div id="app-navigation">
        <?php print_unescaped($this->inc('nav')); ?>
        <?php print_unescaped($this->inc('settings')); ?>
    </div>

    <div id="app-content">
        <div id="app-content-wrapper">
            <?php print_unescaped($this->inc('index/content')); ?>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

Please have a look at $this->inc('index/content'). I created a content.php file for each view file I would like to render.

So test.php would call

<?php print_unescaped($this->inc('test/content')); ?>

and user.php would call

<?php print_unescaped($this->inc('user/content')); ?>

These content files are currently empty. They only contain something like

<h1>Test Page</h1>

When I test my app and click on a navigation link the routing doesn’t work. The url changes but only my index file gets rendered.

I thought that when this route 'page#test' gets called there is a reference to the view file in the templates folder.

What am I missing?
