NAME

Bailador::Template::Mojo::Extended

DO NOT USE

WARNING: do not use this module. It currently has broken design that prevents template caching and the API will change, to address that issue.

Check back soon!

SYNOPSIS

# in app.p6
use Bailador;
use Bailador::Template::Mojo::Extended;

renderer Bailador::Template::Mojo::Extended.new;

get '/' => sub { template 'index.tt', 'Zoffix', :name<Znet> }

# in views/layouts/default.tt
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title><%= $title %></title>
<div id="container">
    <%= $_content %>
</div>
<footer>Copyright (c) 2016</footer>

# in views/index.tt
%% title: Hello, World!
%% adjective: Awesome
<p><%= @pos[0] ~ ' ' ~ $name %> is <%= $adjective %>

# visit http://localhost:3000/ and get this:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<title>Hello, World!</title>
<div id="container">
    <p>Zoffix Znet is Awesome
</div>
<footer>Copyright (c) 2016</footer>

DESCRIPTION

This module adds extra features to the default ::Mojo renderer.

TURNING ON RENDERER

renderer ... .new

    renderer Bailador::Template::Mojo::Extended.new

Use Bailador's renderer sub to set up the new renderer backend by calling .new on Bailador::Template::Mojo::Extended class.

USAGE

See Template::Mojo for general usage details. This module makes these modifications:

Layout templates

You can use base templates into which to include your regular templates:

    # views/layouts/default.tt
    <h1>This is HTML layout</h1>
    <%= $_content %>

    # views/layouts/email.tt
    <h1>This is EMAIL layout</h1>
    <%= $_content %>

    # views/index.tt
    <p>Foo</p>

    # views/email.tt
    %% layout: email
    <p>Bar</p>

    ## index template results in
    # <h1>This is HTML layout</h1>
    # <p>Foo</p>

    # email template results in
    # <h1>This is EMAIL layout</h1>
    # <p>Bar</p>

See examples/ directory for a working version of this sort of set up. The layout templates are located in views/layouts/ directory. They are set by either providing :layout named parameter to template Bailador sub or by using %% layout: at the start of the template.

Inside your layout, $_content variable contains the content of the template you're trying to render.

If unspecified, layout defaults to views/default.tt

Stash Variables

Instead of explicitly asking for passed parameters in your templates, as is the way plain ::Mojo is implemented, named arguments to template become scalar variables and positional arguments are available in array @pos:

    get '/foo' => sub { template 'index.tt', 'Znet', :name<Zoffix> }

    # In views/index.tt:
    <p>My name is <% $name ~ ' ' ~ @pos[0] %></p>

    # Results in:
    # <p>My name is Zoffix Znet</p>

This applies both to your layout templates and normal templates themselves.

Template Stash Setting

At the start of your template, you can use lines starting with %% followed by word-character key, followed by colon, followed by its value to set up stash keys. These will be available in both the layout and the template itself:

# in views/template.tt
%% layout: email
%% title: Foo Bar Baz
<p>Hello, World!</p>

# in views/layouts/email.tt
<title><%= $title %></title>
<%= $_content %>

The stash variables provided in the template can be overriden by providing those stash variables in the template call, thus your templates can specify default values.

template 'template.tt', :title<SomeOtherTitle>;
