NAME

Mason::Plugin::QuoteFilters - Filters for making quoted strings

VERSION

version 0.002

DESCRIPTION

This plugin provides some filter sugar for quoting strings in Mason template output.

Say you have a Perl variable, $bar, that you need to inject into some JavaScript. Currently you would write:

var foo = '<% $bar %>';

which this author thinks is ugly because the quotes get lost in the syntax. It also has a tendency to throw off syntax highlighters.

Instead, using this filter you could write:

var foo = <% $bar |Q %>;

and get the same end result.

FILTERS

Q

Single quote a string. Any embedded single quotes are escaped with backslashes.

QQ

Double quote a string. Any embedded double quotes are escaped with backslashes.
