NAME

Mojolicious::Renderer - MIME Type Based Renderer

SYNOPSIS

use Mojolicious::Renderer;

my $renderer = Mojolicious::Renderer->new;

DESCRIPTION

Mojolicious::Renderer is the standard Mojolicious renderer. It turns your stashed data structures into content. See Mojolicious::Guides::Rendering for more.

ATTRIBUTES

Mojolicious::Renderer implements the following attributes.

cache

my $cache = $renderer->cache;
$renderer = $renderer->cache(Mojo::Cache->new);

Renderer cache, by default a Mojo::Cache object. Note that this attribute is EXPERIMENTAL and might change without warning!

default_format

my $default = $renderer->default_format;
$renderer   = $renderer->default_format('html');

The default format to render if format is not set in the stash. The renderer will use Mojolicious::Types to look up the content MIME type.

default_handler

my $default = $renderer->default_handler;
$renderer   = $renderer->default_handler('epl');

The default template handler to use for rendering in cases where auto detection doesn't work, like for inline templates.

epl

Embedded Perl Lite handled by Mojolicious::Plugin::EplRenderer.

ep

Embedded Perl handled by Mojolicious::Plugin::EpRenderer.

default_template_class

my $default = $renderer->default_template_class;
$renderer   = $renderer->default_template_class('main');

The renderer will use this class to look for templates in the DATA section.

detect_templates

my $detect = $renderer->detect_templates;
$renderer  = $renderer->detect_templates(1);

Template auto detection, the renderer will try to select the right template and renderer automatically.

encoding

my $encoding = $renderer->encoding;
$renderer    = $renderer->encoding('koi8-r');

Will encode the content if set, defaults to UTF-8.

handlers

my $handlers = $renderer->handlers;
$renderer    = $renderer->handlers({epl => sub {...}});

Registered handlers.

helpers

my $helpers = $renderer->helpers;
$renderer   = $renderer->helpers({url_for => sub {...}});

Registered helpers.

layout_prefix

my $prefix = $renderer->layout_prefix;
$renderer  = $renderer->layout_prefix('layouts');

Directory to look for layouts in, defaults to layouts.

root

my $root  = $renderer->root;
$renderer = $renderer->root('/foo/bar/templates');
 

Directory to look for templates in.

METHODS

Mojolicious::Renderer inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following ones.

new

my $renderer = Mojolicious::Renderer->new;

Construct a new renderer.

add_handler

$renderer = $renderer->add_handler(epl => sub {...});
  

Add a new handler to the renderer. See Mojolicious::Plugin::EpRenderer for a sample renderer.

add_helper

$renderer = $renderer->add_helper(url_for => sub {...});

Add a new helper to the renderer. See Mojolicious::Plugin::EpRenderer for sample helpers.

get_data_template

my $template = $renderer->get_data_template({
  template       => 'foo/bar',
  format         => 'html',
  handler        => 'epl'
  template_class => 'main'
}, 'foo.html.ep');

Get an DATA template by name, usually used by handlers.

render

my ($output, $type) = $renderer->render($c);
my ($output, $type) = $renderer->render($c, $args);

Render output through one of the Mojo renderers. This renderer requires some configuration, at the very least you will need to have a default format and a default handler as well as a template or text/json. See Mojolicious::Controller for a more user friendly interface.

template_name

my $template = $renderer->template_name({
  template => 'foo/bar',
  format   => 'html',
  handler  => 'epl'
});
  

Builds a template name based on an options hash with template, format and handler.

template_path

my $path = $renderer->template_path({
  template => 'foo/bar',
  format   => 'html',
  handler  => 'epl'
});

Builds a full template path based on an options hash with template, format and handler.
