Answer 1

In your controller setVar() and setVars() can be used on the view object to set your variables and then use them in your Volt file:

$this->view->setVar('myData', $data);

and in the template

{{ myData }}

If $data is an array and you want elements from it:

{{ myData['element1'] }}

If $data is an object you can call methods on it

{{ myData.myMethod() }}

If you want to perform comparisons and assign variables in the template:

{% if myData['element'] == 'yes' %}
    {% assign reply = true %}
{% else %}
    {% assign reply = false %}
{% endif %}
