CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr - HTML::Template::Expr driver to AnyTemplate

NAME

CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr - HTML::Template::Expr driver to AnyTemplate

DESCRIPTION

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

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

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

Syntax

The the HTML::Template::Expr manpage syntax for embedding components is:

    <TMPL_VAR EXPR="CGIAPP_embed('some_run_mode', param1, param2, 'literal string3')">

This can be overridden by the following configuration variables:

    embed_tag_name       # default 'CGIAPP_embed'

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

    embed_tag_name       '__ACME_render'

Then the embedded component tag will look like:

    <TMPL_VAR EXPR="__ACME_render('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 the CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr manpage driver accepts the following config parameters:

embed_tag_name
The name of the tag used for embedding components. Defaults to CGIAPP_embed.

template_extension
If auto_add_template_extension is true, then the CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate manpage 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 the CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr manpage will copy all of the webapp's query params into the template using the HTML::Template::Expr manpage's associate mechanism:

    my $driver = HTML::Template::Expr->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 the HTML::Template::Expr manpage.

required_modules

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

DRIVER METHODS

initialize
Initializes the HTMLTemplateExpr driver. See the docs for the CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Base manpage for details.

render_template
Fills the the HTML::Template::Expr manpage object with $self->param, and returns the output (as a string reference).

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