Pulling in var/objects/methods that could contain Latte tags

Does anyone have a solution for rendering a template that has methods that might return a {tag} in them?
Let's say you have defined the $params as
$params = [
‘business_name’ ⇒ ‘My Business’
];
$latte->render(‘page.latte’, $params);
page.latte
{$page->getSection()}
$page->getSection() returns “Welcome to {$business_name}” from a database
the initial render will of course return just that, so is a second render needed?
I'm currently working around this with
$output = $latte->renderToString(‘page.latte’, $params);
$latte->setLoader(new Latte\Loaders\StringLoader);
$latte->render($output, $latteParams);
Any suggestions or workarounds for this type of workflow?

Are you sure you want to let users write potentially harmful latte code? It could be security hole. You would need to correctly setup latte sandbox and keep an eye for bugs.
From your example it seems you need just simple text templating. Maybe something like https://github.com/…ext-template would be better for your use case.

There are no outside users involved per se. This is more api calls that have access to our CRM and a database of reusable content. I was looking forward to being able to include components in our reusable content but when you set the loader to load by string ($latte->setLoader(new Latte\Loaders\StringLoader)) it says that any {include block from /dir/file.latte} that the “/dir/file.latte” can not be found.
I even tried to do this on first pass and get the same error.
Weird that the same {include block from /dir/file.latte} can be found when rendering from a file but not from a string.

You can either modify $page->getSection() to render the
content directly using $latte->renderToString(), or maybe add a
filter: https://latte.nette.org/…ending-latte#…
$latte = new Latte\Engine;
$latte->addFilter('latte', fn(string $s) => new Latte\Rutime\Html($latte->renderToString($s)));
template:
{$page->getSection()|latte}

Thanks! I like the filter thing … totally makes sense. I had to go with a separate instance of the Engine though cause new Latte\Rutime\Html($latte->renderToString($s))); was expecting a file and not a string to render. So I ended up with this for now.
$latteFilter = new Latte\Engine;
$latteFilter->setLoader(new Latte\Loaders\StringLoader);
$latte->addFilter('latte', fn (string $s) => new Latte\Runtime\Html($latteFilter->renderToString($s, $params)));
Now I just need to figure out why when using $latte->setLoader(new
Latte\Loaders\StringLoader) we are unable to include templates.
StringLoader says Missing template ‘/dir/templates/components.latte’ while
the FileLoader has no problems loading it.

It doesn't work because it uses the StringLoader again to load the second template. You'd need to create a own loader that loads the file when the path is passed in, otherwise it returns the contents of the variable.
