NAME
Template::View - customised view of a template processing context
SYNOPSIS
# define a view
[% VIEW view
# some standard args
prefix => 'my_',
suffix => '.tt2',
notfound => 'no_such_file'
...
# any other data
title => 'My View title'
other_item => 'Joe Random Data'
...
%]
# add new data definitions, via 'my' self reference
[% my.author = "$abw.name <$abw.email>" %]
[% my.copy = "© Copyright 2000 $my.author" %]
# define a local block
[% BLOCK header %]
This is the header block, title: [% title or my.title %]
[% END %]
[% END %]
# access data items for view
[% view.title %]
[% view.other_item %]
# access blocks directly ('include_naked' option, set by default)
[% view.header %]
[% view.header(title => 'New Title') %]
# non-local templates have prefix/suffix attached
[% view.footer %] # => [% INCLUDE my_footer.tt2 %]
# more verbose form of block access
[% view.include( 'header', title => 'The Header Title' ) %]
[% view.include_header( title => 'The Header Title' ) %]
# very short form of above ('include_naked' option, set by default)
[% view.header( title => 'The Header Title' ) %]
# non-local templates have prefix/suffix attached
[% view.footer %] # => [% INCLUDE my_footer.tt2 %]
# fallback on the 'notfound' template ('my_no_such_file.tt2')
# if template not found
[% view.include('missing') %]
[% view.include_missing %]
[% view.missing %]
# print() includes a template relevant to argument type
[% view.print("some text") %] # type=TEXT, template='text'
[% BLOCK my_text.tt2 %] # 'text' with prefix/suffix
Text: [% item %]
[% END %]
# now print() a hash ref, mapped to 'hash' template
[% view.print(some_hash_ref) %] # type=HASH, template='hash'
[% BLOCK my_hash.tt2 %] # 'hash' with prefix/suffix
hash keys: [% item.keys.sort.join(', ')
[% END %]
# now print() a list ref, mapped to 'list' template
[% view.print(my_list_ref) %] # type=ARRAY, template='list'
[% BLOCK my_list.tt2 %] # 'list' with prefix/suffix
list: [% item.join(', ') %]
[% END %]
# print() maps 'My::Object' to 'My_Object'
[% view.print(myobj) %]
[% BLOCK my_My_Object.tt2 %]
[% item.this %], [% item.that %]
[% END %]
# update mapping table
[% view.map.ARRAY = 'my_list_template' %]
[% view.map.TEXT = 'my_text_block' %]
# change prefix, suffix, item name, etc.
[% view.prefix = 'your_' %]
[% view.default = 'anyobj' %]

DESCRIPTION
TODO
METHODS
new($context, \%config)
Creates a new Template::View presenting a custom view of the specified
$context object.
A reference to a hash array of configuration options may be passed as
the second argument.
prefix
Prefix added to all template names.
[% USE view(prefix => 'my_') %]
[% view.view('foo', a => 20) %] # => my_foo
suffix
Suffix added to all template names.
[% USE view(suffix => '.tt2') %]
[% view.view('foo', a => 20) %] # => foo.tt2
map Hash array mapping reference types to template names. The print()
method uses this to determine which template to use to present any
particular item. The TEXT, HASH and ARRAY items default to 'test',
'hash' and 'list' appropriately.
[% USE view(map => { ARRAY => 'my_list',
HASH => 'your_hash',
My::Foo => 'my_foo', } ) %]
[% view.print(some_text) %] # => text
[% view.print(a_list) %] # => my_list
[% view.print(a_hash) %] # => your_hash
[% view.print(a_foo) %] # => my_foo
[% BLOCK text %]
Text: [% item %]
[% END %]
[% BLOCK my_list %]
list: [% item.join(', ') %]
[% END %]
[% BLOCK your_hash %]
hash keys: [% item.keys.sort.join(', ')
[% END %]
[% BLOCK my_foo %]
Foo: [% item.this %], [% item.that %]
[% END %]
method
Name of a method which objects passed to print() may provide for
presenting themselves to the view. If a specific map entry can't
be found for an object reference and it supports the method
(default: 'present') then the method will be called, passing the
view as an argument. The object can then make callbacks against
the view to present itself.
package Foo;
sub present {
my ($self, $view) = @_;
return "a regular view of a Foo\n";
}
sub debug {
my ($self, $view) = @_;
return "a debug view of a Foo\n";
}
In a template:
[% USE view %]
[% view.print(my_foo_object) %] # a regular view of a Foo
[% USE view(method => 'debug') %]
[% view.print(my_foo_object) %] # a debug view of a Foo
default
Default template to use if no specific map entry is found for an
item.
[% USE view(default => 'my_object') %]
[% view.print(objref) %] # => my_object
If no map entry or default is provided then the view will attempt
to construct a template name from the object class, substituting
any sequence of non-word characters to single underscores, e.g.
# 'fubar' is an object of class Foo::Bar
[% view.print(fubar) %] # => Foo_Bar
Any current prefix and suffix will be added to both the default
template name and any name constructed from the object class.
notfound
Fallback template to use if any other isn't found.
item
Name of the template variable to which the print() method assigns
the current item. Defaults to 'item'.
[% USE view %]
[% BLOCK list %]
[% item.join(', ') %]
[% END %]
[% view.print(a_list) %]
[% USE view(item => 'thing') %]
[% BLOCK list %]
[% thing.join(', ') %]
[% END %]
[% view.print(a_list) %]
view_prefix
Prefix of methods which should be mapped to view() by AUTOLOAD.
Defaults to 'view_'.
[% USE view %]
[% view.view_header() %] # => view('header')
[% USE view(view_prefix => 'show_me_the_' %]
[% view.show_me_the_header() %] # => view('header')
view_naked
Flag to indcate if any attempt should be made to map method names
to template names where they don't match the view_prefix. Defaults
to 0.
[% USE view(view_naked => 1) %]
[% view.header() %] # => view('header')
print( $obj1, $obj2, ... \%config)
TODO
view( $template, \%vars, \%config );
