CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr (3pm)

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

All \*(C`AnyTemplate\*(C' drivers are designed to be used the same way. For general usage instructions, see the documentation of CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate.

Syntax

The HTML::Template::Expr 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 \*(C`embed_tag_name\*(C' must consist of numbers, letters and underscores (\*(C`_\*(C'), and must not begin with a number.

The CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr driver accepts the following config parameters:

embed_tag_name

The name of the tag used for embedding components. Defaults to \*(C`CGIAPP_embed\*(C'.

template_extension

If \*(C`auto_add_template_extension\*(C' is true, then CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate will append the value of \*(C`template_extension\*(C' to \*(C`filename\*(C'. By default the \*(C`template_extension\*(C' is \*(C`.html\*(C'.

associate_query

This feature is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release. If this config parameter is true, then CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::HTMLTemplateExpr will copy all of the webapp's query params into the template using HTML::Template::Expr's \*(C`associate\*(C' mechanism: my $driver = HTML::Template::Expr->new( associate => $self->query, ); By default \*(C`associate_query\*(C' is false. If you provide an \*(C`associate\*(C' config parameter of your own, that will disable the \*(C`associate_query\*(C' functionality.

All other configuration parameters are passed on unchanged to HTML::Template::Expr.

required_modules

The \*(C`required_modules\*(C' function returns the modules required for this driver to operate. In this case: \*(C`HTML::Template::Expr\*(C'.

initialize

Initializes the \*(C`HTMLTemplateExpr\*(C' driver. See the docs for CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Base for details.

render_template

Fills the HTML::Template::Expr object with \*(C`$self->param\*(C', and returns the output (as a string reference). See the docs for CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Base for details.
