package CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr; =head1 NAME CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr - HTML::Template::Expr driver to AnyTemplate =head1 DESCRIPTION This is a driver for L, which provides the implementation details specific to rendering templates via the L templating system. All C drivers are designed to be used the same way. For general usage instructions, see the documentation of L. =head1 EMBEDDED COMPONENT SYNTAX (HTML::Template::Expr) =head2 Syntax The L syntax for embedding components is: 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: The value of C must consist of numbers, letters and underscores (C<_>), and must not begin with a number. =cut use strict; use Carp; use CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::ComponentHandler; use CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Base; use vars qw(@ISA); @ISA = ('CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Base'); =head1 CONFIGURATION The L driver accepts the following config parameters: =over 4 =item embed_tag_name The name of the tag used for embedding components. Defaults to C. =item template_extension If C is true, then L will append the value of C to C. By default the C is C<.html>. =item associate_query B If this config parameter is true, then L will copy all of the webapp's query params into the template using L's C mechanism: my $driver = HTML::Template::Expr->new( associate => $self->query, ); By default C is false. If you provide an C config parameter of your own, that will disable the C functionality. =back All other configuration parameters are passed on unchanged to L. =cut sub driver_config_keys { qw/ embed_tag_name template_extension associate_query /; } sub default_driver_config { ( template_extension => '.html', embed_tag_name => 'CGIAPP_embed', associate_query => 0, ); } =head2 required_modules The C function returns the modules required for this driver to operate. In this case: C. =cut sub required_modules { return qw( HTML::Template::Expr ); } =head1 DRIVER METHODS =over 4 =item initialize Initializes the C driver. See the docs for L for details. =cut # create the HTML::Template::Expr object, # using: # $self->{'driver_config'} # config info # $self->{'include_paths'} # the paths to search for the template file # $self->filename # the template file # $self->{'webapp'}->query # for HTML::Template::Expr's 'associate' method, # # so that the query params are included # # in the template output sub initialize { my $self = shift; $self->_require_prerequisite_modules; my $string_ref = $self->string_ref; my $filename = $self->filename; $string_ref or $filename or croak "HTML::Template file or string must be specified"; my $query = $self->{'webapp'}->query or croak "HTML::Template::Expr webapp query not found"; my $component_handler = $self->{'component_handler_class'}->new( 'webapp' => $self->{'webapp'}, 'containing_template' => $self, ); my %params = ( %{ $self->{'native_config'} }, path => $self->{'include_paths'}, functions => { $self->{'driver_config'}{'embed_tag_name'} => sub { $component_handler->embed(@_) }, } ); if ($filename) { $params{'filename'} = $filename; } if ($string_ref) { $params{'scalarref'} = $string_ref; } if ($self->{'driver_config'}{'associate_query'}) { $params{'associate'} ||= $query; # allow user to override associate with their own } my $driver = HTML::Template::Expr->new(%params); $self->{'driver'} = $driver; } # If we have already called output, then any stored params have already # been stored in the driver.
