Template::Swig - Perl interface to Django-inspired Swig templating engine.
my $swig = Template::Swig->new; $swig->compile('message', 'Welcome, {{name}}'); my $output = $swig->render('message', { name => 'Arthur' });
Template::Swig uses JavaScript::V8 and Paul Armstrong's Swig templating engine to provide fast Django-inspired templating in a Perl context. Templates are compiled to JavaScript functions and stored in memory, then executed each time they're rendered.
Swig's feature list includes multiple inheritance, formatter and helper functions, macros, auto-escaping, and custom tags. See the Swig Documentation for more.
Initialize a swig instance, given the following parameters
Optional path where templates live
Optional callback to be run when Swig encounters an extends tag; receives filename and its encoding as parameters
Compile a template given, given a template name and swig template source as a string.
Will compile a file from the file system. In order for this to work an extends_callback, needs to be implemented.
Render a template, given a name and a reference to a hash of data to interpolate.
Iterate through a list:
{% for image in images %} <img src="{{ image.src }}" width="{{ image.width }}" height="{{ image.height }}"> {% else %} <div class="message">No images to show</div> {% endfor %}
Custom helpers / filters:
{{ created|date('r') }}
In main.html:
{% block 'greeting' %} Hi, there. {% endblock %}
In custom.html:
{% extends 'main.html' %} {% block 'greeting' %} Welcome, {{ name }} {% endblock %}
