# SVN::Web::View(3pm)

SVN::Web action to view a file in the repository

## NAME

SVN::Web::View - SVN::Web action to view a file in the repository

## SYNOPSIS

In *config.yaml*

```
  actions:
    ...
    view:
      class: SVN::Web::View
      action_menu:
        show:
          - file
        link_text: (view file)
    ...
```

## DESCRIPTION

Shows a specific revision of a file in the Subversion repository.  Includes the commit information for that file.

## OPTIONS

- rev

  The revision of the file to show.  Defaults to the repository's youngest revision.

  If this is not an interesting revision for this file, the repository history is searched to find the youngest interesting revision for this file that is less than `"rev"`.

## TEMPLATE VARIABLES

- at\_head

  A boolean value, indicating whether the user is currently viewing the HEAD of the file in the repository.

- context

  Always `"file"`.

- rev

  The revision that has been returned.  This is not necessarily the same as the `"rev"` option passed to the action.  If the `"rev"` passed to the action is not interesting (i.e., there were no changes to the file at that revision) then the file's history is searched backwards to find the next oldest interesting revision.

- youngest\_rev

  The youngest interesting revision of the file.

- mimetype

  The file's MIME type, extracted from the file's `"svn:mime-type"` property.  If this is not set then `"text/plain"` is used.

- file

  The contents of the file.

- author

  The revision's author.

- date

  The date the revision was committed, formatted according to "Time and date formatting" in SVN::Web.

- msg

  The revision's commit message.

## EXCEPTIONS

None.
