NAME

Dancer::Template::Tiny - Template::Tiny engine for Dancer

VERSION

version 1.9999_01

SYNOPSIS

This template engine allows you to use Template::Tiny in Dancer.

Template::Tiny is an implementation of a subset of Template::Toolkit (the major parts) which takes much less memory and is faster. If you're only using the main functions of Template::Toolkit, you could use Template::Tiny. You can also seemlessly move back to Template::Toolkit whenever you want.

However, Dancer uses a modified version of Template::Tiny, which is Dancer::Template::Implementation::ForkedTiny. It adds 2 features :

  • opening and closing tag are now configurable

  • CodeRefs are evaluated and their results is inserted in the result.

You can read more on Dancer::Template::Implementation::ForkedTiny.

To use this engine, all you need to configure in your Dancer's config.yaml:

    template: "tiny"

Of course, you can also set this while working using set:

    # code code code
    set template => 'tiny';

Since Dancer has internal support for a wrapper-like option with the layout configuration option, you can have a Template::Toolkit-like WRAPPER even though Template::Tiny doesn't really support it. :)

METHODS

render

Renders the template. Accepts a string to a file or a reference to a string of the template.
