SYNOPSIS

    use A1z::HTML5::Template;
    my $foo = A1z::HTML5::Template->new();

    This directory should be writable by the web server, required to create/hold page content files.
        This may also contain your custom JavaScript/CSS libraries.
        Works for both Windows and Linux
        
                use lib '/home/user/path/to/app';
                or
                use lib 'C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/path/to/app';

        # for features like 'say'
        use 5.10.0;

        my $h = A1z::HTML5::Template->new(); 

        Fast, Easy, and Simple: Just Two Lines!
        
                say $h->head( -title => "My Brand Name" );
                say $h->body( -content => qq{ Coming Soon });

        For More Control/Customization: Not for the lazy!
        
        say $h->header('utf8');  
        say $h->start_html(); 
        say $h->head_title("My New App"); 
        say $h->head_meta(); 

        Load basic/required JavaScript/CSS libraries
        say $h->head_js_css(); 

        Add your own custom JavaScript/CSS files
        say $h->head_js_css('/url/to/app/Template.css'); 

        say $h->end_head(); 
        say $h->begin_body();

        say qq{<h1>My New App/Website</h1>};

        say qq{<main class="container">}; 

                # output file content as menu
                say $h->body_accordion( $h->open_file("/home/user/path/to/app/open_file_example.txt", 'menu', 'Menu') ); 

                # as a HTML5 table 
                say $h->body_accordion( $h->open_file("$sys{cgibase}/open_file_example.txt", 'table', 'Table Header') );
                
                # Simple mathematics 
                say $h->body_article( header => "Simple Mathematics", content => $h->math1("2", "4") );

                # Times Table  
                say $h->body_article( header => "Times Table", content => $h->timestable("2") );

        say qq{</main>};

        Required/Default JavaScript libraries.

new

   use A1z::HTML5::Template;
   my $h = A1z::HTML5::Template->new();

math1

        $h->math1(num1, num2);
        
        $h->body_article( header => "Math", content => $h->math1(num1, num2) );

        $h->header("");

start_html

        Provides doctype html
        
        Default includes utf-8

                $h->start_html();
        
        Or, add your own charset to your app:

                $h->start_html('DifferentCharset');

body_js_css

        Add/include javascript and css files just above </body> section 
        
        Typically, CSS files should/are not be used here. 
        
        Default behavior: 
        
                $h->body_js_css();
                
                Includes 
                        jquery 1.12.4, jquery ui 1.11.4, bootstrap 3.3.0, 
                        javascript for #dialog function, #menu, #accordion, #tabs 
        
        Add your own .js file: 
                
                use $h->body_js_css("/path/to/js/file.js");
                
        You can use both to include default .js files and your own custom .js file. 

end_html

        Provides </html>

head_title

        Provides <title></title>
        
        $h->head_title("App/Page Title");

                IE=Edge
                HandheldFriendly
                viewport
        
        $h->head_meta();
        
        Just like body_js_css, you can use both to add default values and your own meta 

body_topnavbar

        Provides top nav bar optionally.
        
        By default it is loaded from www.a1z.us which probably be removed in a future version.

        $h->head_js_css();

        $h->end_head();

begin_body

        provides <body> tag.
        
        $h->begin_body();

                $h->html_bootstrap_css()

        $h->head();

        For use in Fast/Easy Web App - E.g., in under construction web sites.

body

        $h->body();

        For use in Fast/Easy Web App - E.g., in under construction web sites.

create_accordion

        $h->create_accordion("path/to/file/containing/accordion/elements");

        Uses open_file to load "file"

open_file

        Used for loading all kinds of custom elements for different output formats stored in simple text files.

        $h->open_file("path/to/file", "outputFormat", "outputHeader");

        $h->open_file("C:/Inetpub/wwwroot/MyApp/menu.txt", "menu", "Menu");

        This is the heart of the App, A1z::HTML5::Template, quite a long sub/method comprising of about 292 lines including empty lines. 

edit_file

        Edit your app/page/site. Customize HTML produced by A1z::HTML5::Template. 

        Creates a form to edit contents of a file. 

        The contents of this file should be in a special format. See open_file_example.txt. 

        Data is stored in simple text files in the app's home dir.  

        We recommend creating a new file for editing/writing purpose; E.g., "TemplateAdmin.cgi"

        use lib '/path/to/app';

        use A1z::HTML5::Template;
        my $h = A1z::HTML5::Template->new();

        say $h->header('utf8');
        say $h->start_html(); 
        say $h->head_title("Edit App"); 
        say $h->head_meta();
        say $h->head_js_css();  
        say $h->end_head(); 
        say $h->begin_body();

        # Show edit form

        say $h->body_article( 

                header => "Edit page items", 

                action => "TemplateAdmin.cgi",

                content => $h->edit_file( file => "/absolute/path/to/app/open_file_example.txt") 
        );

        # Save Customizations to file.

        # include write_file if you submit form to the same file ( TemplateAdmin.cgi )

        say $h->body_article( 

                header => "<a href='$sys{cgiurl}/TemplateAdmin.cgi' title='Refresh to get the latest/saved content'>Refresh</a> ", 

                content => $h->write_file( file => "/absolute/path/to/app/open_file_example.txt")
         
        );

        say $h->body_js_css(); 
        say $h->end_body();
        say $h->end_html(); 

write_file

        See documentation for 'edit_file.'
