Dancer::Template::TempUserTContributed PerDancer::Template::TemplateToolkit(3)NAMEDancer::Template::TemplateToolkit - Template Toolkit wrapper for Dancer
DESCRIPTION
This class is an interface between Dancer's template engine abstraction
layer and the Template module.
This template engine is recomended for production purposes, but depends
on the Template module.
In order to use this engine, use the template setting:
template: template_toolkit
This can be done in your config.yml file or directly in your app code
with the set keyword.
Note that by default, Dancer configures the Template::Toolkit engine
to use <% %> brackets instead of its default [% %] brackets. This can
be changed within your config file - for example:
template: template_toolkit
engines:
template_toolkit:
start_tag: '[%'
stop_tag: '%]'
By default, Template is used, but you can configure Dancer to use a
subclass with the "subclass" option.
engines:
template_toolkit:
subclass: My::Template
WRAPPER, META variables, SETs
Dancer already provides a WRAPPER-like ability, which we call a
"layout". The reason we do not use TT's WRAPPER (which also makes it
incompatible with it) is because not all template systems support it.
Actually, most don't.
However, you might want to use it, and be able to define META variables
and regular Template::Toolkit variables.
These few steps will get you there:
· Disable the layout in Dancer
You can do this by simply commenting (or removing) the "layout"
configuration in the config.yml file.
· Use Template Toolkit template engine
Change the configuration of the template to Template Toolkit:
# in config.yml
template: "template_toolkit"
· Tell the Template Toolkit engine who's your wrapper
# in config.yml
# ...
engines:
template_toolkit:
WRAPPER: layouts/main.tt
Done! Everything will work fine out of the box, including variables and
META variables.
