NAME

Leyland::View - Leyland view base class

VERSION

version 1.000001

SYNOPSIS

# if you're planning on creating a new Leyland view class,
# then do something like this:

package Leyland::View::SomeEngine;

use Moo;
use namespace::clean;
use SomeEngine;

with 'Leyland::View';

has 'engine' => (is => 'ro', default => sub { SomeEngine->new });

sub render {
	my ($self, $view, $context, $use_layout) = @_;

	$use_layout = 1 unless defined $use_layout;

	return $self->engine->render($view, $context, $use_layout);
}

1;

DESCRIPTION

This Moo role describes how Leyland view classes - mostly used to render HTML responses (but can be used for pretty much anything) - are to be built. A view class uses a template engine (such as Template::Toolkit or <Tenjin>) to render responses.

Leyland's default view class is Leyland::View::Tenjin, which uses the Tenjin template engine.

REQUIRED METHODS

Consuming classes are required to implement the following methods:

render( $view_name, [ \%context, $use_layout ] )

This method receives the name of a view (or "template" if you will, such as 'index.html' or 'resource.json'), and a hash-ref of variables to be available for the template (known as the "context"). Leyland will automatically include 'c' for the request's context object (most probably a Leyland::Context object) and 'l' for the application object. $use_layout, if provided, will be a boolean value indicating whether the view should be rendered inside a layout view (not relevant for every template engine). Expected to be true by default.

Returns the rendered output.

PROVIDED ATTRIBUTES

view_dir

The directory in which views/templates reside. By default, this will be 'views' (relative to the current working directory).
