NAME

Catalyst::View::Xslate - Text::Xslate View Class

SYNOPSIS

    package MyApp::View::Xslate;
    use Moose;
    extends 'Catalyst::View::Xslate';

    1;

VIEW CONFIGURATION

You may specify the following configuration items in from your config file or directly on the view object.

catalyst_var

The name used to refer to the Catalyst app object in the template

template_extension

The suffix used to auto generate the template name from the action name (when you do not explicitly specify the template filename);

Do not confuse this with the suffix option, which is passed directly to the Text::Xslate object instance. This option works on the filename used for the initial request, while suffix controls what cascade and include directives do inside Text::Xslate.

content_charset

The charset used to output the response body. The value defaults to 'UTF-8'.

encode_body

By default, output will be encoded to content_charset. You can set it to 0 to disable this behavior. (you need to do this if you're using Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding)

Text::Xslate CONFIGURATION

The following parameters are passed to the Text::Xslate constructor. When reset during the life cyle of the Catalyst app, these parameters will cause the previously created underlying Text::Xslate object to be cleared

path

cache_dir

cache

header

escape

footer

function

input_layer

module

syntax

verbose

suffix

Use this to enable TT2 compatible variable methods via Text::Xslate::Bridge::TT2 or Text::Xslate::Bridge::TT2Like

    package MyApp::View::Xslate;
    use Moose;
    extends 'Catalyst::View::Xslate';

    has '+module' => (
        default => sub { [ 'Text::Xslate::Bridge::TT2Like' ] }
    );

expose_methods

Use this option to specify methods from the View object to be exposed in the template. For example, if you have the following View:

    package MyApp::View::Xslate;
    use Moose;
    extends 'Catalyst::View::Xslate';

    sub foo {
        my ( $self, $c, @args ) = @_;
        return ...; # do something with $self, $c, @args
    }

then by setting expose_methods, you will be able to use $foo() as a function in the template:

    <: $foo("a", "b", "c") # calls $view->foo( $c, "a", "b", "c" ) :>

expose_methods takes either a list of method names to expose, or a hash reference, in order to alias it differently in the template.

    MyApp::View::Xslate->new(
        # exposes foo(), bar(), baz() in the template
        expose_methods => [ qw(foo bar baz) ]
    );

    MyApp::View::Xslate->new(
        # exposes $foo_alias(), $bar_alias(), $baz_alias() in the template,
        # but they will in turn call foo(), bar(), baz(), on the view object.
        expose_methods => {
            foo => "foo_alias",
            bar => "bar_alias",
            baz => "baz_alias",
        }
    );

METHODS

$view-process($c)>

Called by Catalyst.

$view-render($c, $template, \%vars)>

Renders the given $template using variables \%vars.

$template can be a template file name, or a scalar reference to a template string.

    $view->render($c, "/path/to/a/template.tx", \%vars );

    $view->render($c, \'This is a xslate template!', \%vars );
