Phpillip provides the same type of template resolution that you get in Symfony. When a Controller doesn't return a Response, Phpillip will try to create one by finding and rendering a matching template.
If a route is declared as having a content, Phpillip will look for the template: [content_type]/[show|list].[format].twig
<?php
// For single content:
$app->get('/blog/{post}', 'content.controller:show')->content('post');
// The template: 'src/Resources/views/post/show.html.twig'
<?php
// For several contents:
$app->get('/blog', 'content.controller:show')->paginate('post');
// or
$app->get('/blog', 'content.controller:show')->contents('post');
// The template: 'src/Resources/views/post/list.html.twig'
If you declare you controller as a Class Controller:
<?php
$app->get('/blog', 'Acme\Controller\BlogController::index');
Phpillip will look for the template [ControllerName]/[actionName].[format].twig
(just like Symfony does).
In our example: src/Resources/views/Blog/index.html.twig
Note: Phpillip looks for a twig template matching the format of your route.
