NAME

Template::Caribou::Files - Role to load templates from files

VERSION

version 1.2.1

SYNOPSIS

    package MyTemplate;

    use Template::Caribou;

    with 'Template::Caribou::Files' => {
        dirs  => [ './my_templates/' ],
        intro => [ 'use 5.10.0;' ],
    };

    1;

DESCRIPTION

A Caribou class consuming the Template::Caribou::Files role will automatically import all template files (i.e., all files with a .bou extension) under the given directories.

The names of the imported templates will be their path, relative to the imported directories, without their extension. To take the example in the "SYNOPSIS", if the content of my_templates/ is:

    ./foo.bou
    ./bar.bou

then the templates foo.bou and bar.bou will be created.

The template files themselves will be eval'ed in the context of the parent class/namespace, and must return a coderef. E.g.,

    # file ./foo.bou

    # should be done in the class declaration, but
    # can be done here as well
    use Template::Caribou::Tags::HTML ':all';

    # likewise, would be better if added to
    # as a Template::Caribou::Files's intro
    use experimental 'signatures';

    sub ($self) {
        div {
            say 'this is foo';
            $self->bar;
        }
    }

METHODS

all_template_dirs

Returns a list of all template directories loaded by the class (directories included by parent classes included).

file_intro

Returns the arrayref of the intro lines added to the .bou templates.

ROLE PARAMETERS

dirs

The array ref of directories to scan for templates.

If not provided, it defaults to the directory associated with the template class. For example, for

    package MyTemplates::Foo;

    use Template::Caribou;

    with 'Template::Caribou::Files';

    1;

located at lib/MyTemplates/Foo.pm, the default directory will be lib/MyTemplates/Foo/.

intro

Arrayref of lines to add at the beginning of all .bou templates.

    package MyTemplates::Foo;

    use Template::Caribou;

    with 'Template::Caribou::Files' => {
        intro => [
            q{ use 5.10.0; },
            q{ use experimental 'signatures'; },
        ];
    };
