CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplatePluggable(3pm)

HTML::Template::Pluggable driver to AnyTemplate

NAME

CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplatePluggable - HTML::Template::Pluggable driver to AnyTemplate

SYNOPSIS

  # Load Pluggable and your plugins before using this driver.
  use HTML::Template::Pluggable;
  use HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot;

DESCRIPTION

This is a driver for CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate, which provides the implementation details specific to rendering templates via the HTML::Template::Pluggable templating system.

All "AnyTemplate" drivers are designed to be used the same way. For general usage instructions, see the documentation of CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate.

EMBEDDED COMPONENT SYNTAX (HTML::Template::Pluggable)

Syntax

The HTML::Template::Pluggable syntax for embedding components is:

    <TMPL_VAR NAME="cgiapp.embed('some_run_mode',
                                 param1,
                                 param2,
                                 'literal string3')"
    >

This can be overridden by the following configuration variables:

    embed_tag_name       # default 'cgiapp'

For instance by setting the following value in your configuration file:

    embed_tag_name       '__acme'

Then the embedded component tag will look like:

    <TMPL_VAR NAME="__acme.embed('some_run_mode')">

The value of "embed_tag_name" must consist of numbers, letters and underscores ("_"), and must not begin with a number.

CONFIGURATION

The HTMLTemplatePluggable driver accepts the following config parameters:

embed_tag_name

The name of the tag used for embedding components. Defaults to "cgiapp".

template_extension

If "auto_add_template_extension" is true, then CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate will append the value of "template_extension" to "filename". By default the "template_extension" is ".html".

associate_query

This feature is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.

If this config parameter is true, then HTMLTemplatePluggable will copy all of the webapp's query params into the template using HTML::Template's "associate" mechanism:

    my $driver = HTML::Template::Pluggable->new(
        associate => $self->query,
    );

By default "associate_query" is false.

If you provide an "associate" config parameter of your own, that will disable the "associate_query" functionality.

All other configuration parameters are passed on unchanged to HTML::Template.

required_modules

The "required_modules" function returns the modules required for this driver to operate. In this case: HTML::Template.

DRIVER METHODS

initialize

Initializes the "HTMLTemplate" driver. See the docs for "CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Base" for details.

render_template

Fills the "HTML::Template::Pluggable" object with "$self->param" replacing any magic "*embed*" tags with the content generated by the appropriate runmodes.

Returns the output of the filled template as a string reference.

See the docs for "CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Base" for details.
