+## Rendering Viewable Components
+
+For a traditional "VC" part of the MVC (Model-View-Controller) programming paradigm, Bridgetown provides a `Viewable` mixin for [components](/_docs/components). This lets you offload the rendering of a view to a component, keeping your Roda route very clean.

+# ./server/routes/products.rb

 ## File-based Dynamic Routes
 
 **But wait, there’s more!** We also provide a plugin called `bridgetown-routes` which gives you the ability to write file-based dynamic routes with integrated view templates right inside your source folder.
@@ -293,6 +337,51 @@ end
 
 For the Roda-curious, we've enabled this behavior via our own custom handler for the `custom_block_results` Roda plugin.
 
+And [as mentioned previously](#rendering-viewable-components), the `Viewable` component mixin is a wrapper around `RodaCallable` to add some extra smarts to [Ruby components](/docs/components):
+
+* You can access the `data` hash from within your component to add and retrieve front matter for the view.
+* You can call `front_matter` with a block to define [Ruby Front Matter](/docs/front-matter#the-power-of-ruby-in-front-matter) for the view.
+* From your `call(app)` method, you can call `render_in_layout(app)` to render the component template within the layout defined via your front matter.
+* Or for a shorthand, call `render_with(app) do ... end` to specify Ruby Front Matter and render the template in one pass.
+
+You can even cascade multiple callable objects, if you really want a full object-oriented MVC experience:
+
+```ruby
+# ./server/routes/products.rb
+
+class Routes::Reports < Bridgetown::Rack::Routes
+  route do |r|
+    r.on "reports" do
+      # route: /reports/:id
+      r.get Integer do |id|
+        Controllers::Reports::Show.new(id:)
+      end
+    end
+  end
+end

+# ./server/controllers/reports/show.rb

+    @id = id
+  end
+
+  def call(app)
+    app => { request:, response: }
+
+    report = Report[@id]
+
+    # do other bits of controller-y logic here
+
+    # render a Viewable component
+    Views::Reports::Show.new(report:)
