# HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot::Helpers(3pm)

Add useful objects to your templates

## NAME

HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot::Helpers - Add useful objects to your templates

## SYNOPSIS

```
  use HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot::Helpers;
```

Then in your template, you can do:

```
  <tmpl_var Number.format_currency(orderitem.price)>
```

## DESCRIPTION

This helper class adds some useful objects to your Dot-enabled templates (see HTML::Template::Plugin::Dot).

### Added objects

- Number

  An extended Number::Format object. See Number::Format for documentation. Note that only the object oriented methods are supported here.

  I've added several generic numerical methods. Most (well, all in this release) are boolean methods, useful in `"<tmpl_if>s"`. They are:

  - equals - test whether two numbers are equal (==)

    - le, lt, ge, gt - test how two numbers compare

    (implemented with \<=, \<, \>=, \> respectively)

  The following is not yet implemented.

- String

  Adds generic string testing functions similar to the above:

  - equals - test whether two strings are equal (eq)

    - le, lt, ge, gt - test how two strings compare lexically
