NAME

DSL::HTML::STL - Standard Template Library for DSL::HTML.

DESCRIPTION

Templates. See DSL::HTML.

WORK IN PROGRESS

This library is still under development, currently it is minimal at best.

SYNOPSYS

use DSL::HTML;
use DSL::HTML::STL qw/ul .../;

# Create a short HTML doc
my $html = build_template ul => qw(foo bar baz);

# Define a template that uses the ul template
template mydoc {
    my @items = @_;
    ...
    tag h1 { "the list:" }
    include ul => @items;
    ...
}

# Create an HTML doc using the 'mydoc' template
my $html = build_template mydoc => qw(foo bar baz);

TEMPLATES

LISTS

All of these create lists of the specified type. All can take 4 types of arguments, the first of any given type is the only one used, the rest are ignored.

If a scalar is provided, it is treated as the class attribute.

If an arrayref is provided it is treated as the items to be listed (or to be used in the <dt> of the <dl>).

If a hashref is provided it is used to find the values for the <dd> in the <dl>. If no arrayref is provided then the keys of the hashref will be used as the list items. In 'ul' and 'dl' the values of the hash are ignored.

If a coderef is provided it is used via sort() to sort the list items by name.

ul
include ul => [qw/a b c d/];
ol
include ol => [qw/a b c d/];
dl

All arguments are optional, but without a hashref you have no <dd> values. If you have no hashref and no arrayref then you get an empty list.

include dl => (
    # Our <dd> values
    { foo => 'a foo', bar => 'a bar', ... },

    # Our <dt> values (other keys in the hashref are ignored)
    [ 'foo', 'bar' ],

    # our 'class' attribute
    'my_class other_class ...'

    # How to sort the values
    sub($$) { $_[0] cmp $_[1] },
);
