# Dancer2::Template::Simple(3pm)

Pure Perl 5 template engine for Dancer2

## NAME

Dancer2::Template::Simple - Pure Perl 5 template engine for Dancer2

## VERSION

version 1.1.2

## SYNOPSIS

To use this engine, you may configure Dancer2 via `"config.yaml"`:

```
    template: simple
```

## DESCRIPTION

This template engine is primarily to serve as a migration path for users of  Dancer. It should be fine for development purposes, but you would be  better served by using Dancer2::Template::TemplateToolkit or one of the many alternatives available on CPAN to power an application with Dancer2  in production environment.

`"Dancer2::Template::Simple"` is written in pure Perl and has no C bindings  to accelerate the template processing.

## METHODS

### render($template, \\%tokens)

Renders the template.  The first arg is a filename for the template file or a reference to a string that contains the template.  The second arg is a hashref for the tokens that you wish to pass to Template::Toolkit for rendering.

## SYNTAX

A template written for `"Dancer2::Template::Simple"` should be working just fine with Dancer2::Template::TemplateToolkit. The opposite is not true though.

- **variables**

  To interpolate a variable in the template, use the following syntax:

  ```
      <% var1 %>
  ```

  If **var1** exists in the tokens hash given, its value will be written there.
