        <link href="" rel="stylesheet" />
        <script src=""> </script>
        <script type="application/x-javascript">
            //<![CDATA[
            Event.observe(document, 'dom:loaded', function() {
                /*code*/
            });
            //]]>
        </script>

    sub bar :Local {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;
        $c->stash( view => { a => [ map {
            '.' => $_->name,
            '@href' => $_->url
        } $c->model('MyDB::Item')->all ] });
    }

create template for action as root/template/foo/bar.html

    <div>list: <a href="#">item</a></div>

that's it.

METHODS

process($c, $code, $template)

Renders the template specified in <$template> or in $c->stash->{$self->template_key} or $c->namespace/$c->action (the private name of the matched action). $code or stash contents under $c->stash{$self->process_key} are passed to the underlying view object. If wrapper is defined, than result is wrapped using default layout.

Output is stored in $c->response->body and value of $c->response->content_type to text/html or whatever you configured as the "content_type" attribute unless this header has previously been set.

render($template, $code)

Returns Templace::Semantic::Document as result of processing $template with $code instructions.

layout($template, $code, $meta)

Renders html document. Check "SYNOPSIS" for default layout which should be in $template file. $meta should be a hash with corresponding keys ("title_key", "css_key", "js_key", "jscode_key")

pager($c, $pager, $template)

Renders pager snippet from $template or $self->pager_template using $pager ( Data::Page object ) You should have root/template/pager.html (or other path which corresponds to your configuration)

    <div> <a class="prev" href="#">prev</a> <span> <a href="#" class="">middle</a> </span> <a class="next" href="#">next</a> </div>
