# <img
#   alt="<%= $component->alt %>"
#   height="<%= $component->height %>"

DESCRIPTION

This package provides an abstract base class for rendering derived component-based template (partials) classes.

ATTRIBUTES

This package has the following attributes:

controller

controller(InstanceOf["Mojolicious::Controller"])

This attribute is read-only, accepts (InstanceOf["Mojolicious::Controller"]) values, and is optional.

processor

processor(InstanceOf["Mojo::Template"])

This attribute is read-only, accepts (InstanceOf["Mojo::Template"]) values, and is optional.

space

space(InstanceOf["Data::Object::Space"])

This attribute is read-only, accepts (InstanceOf["Data::Object::Space"]) values, and is optional.

METHODS

This package implements the following methods:

postprocess

postprocess(Str $input) : Str

The postprocess method expects a template string. This method is called automatically after and passed the results of the "preprocess" method, and its results are passed to the "render" method, acting as an after (template loading) hook.

postprocess example #1

# given: synopsis

my $processed = $component->postprocess('');

postprocess example #2

package App::Component::Right::ImageLink;

use Mojo::Base 'App::Component::Image';

sub postprocess {
  my ($self, $input) = @_;
  return '<a href="/">' . $input . '</a>';
}

package main;

my $component = App::Component::Right::ImageLink->new;

my $processed = $component->postprocess($component->template);

preprocess

preprocess(Str $input) : Str

The preprocess method expects a template string. This method is called automatically before "postprocess", after locating the template in the class hierarchy, acting as a before (template loading) hook.

preprocess example #1

# given: synopsis

my $processed = $component->preprocess('');

preprocess example #2

package App::Component::Left::ImageLink;

use Mojo::Base 'App::Component::Image';

sub preprocess {
  my ($self, $input) = @_;
  return '<a href="/">' . $input . '</a>';
}

package main;

my $component = App::Component::Left::ImageLink->new;

my $processed = $component->preprocess($component->template);

render

render(Any %args) : Str

The render method loads the component template string data from the DATA section of the component class and renders it using the Mojo::Template object available via "processor".

render example #1

# given: synopsis

my $rendered = $component->render;

render example #2

# given: synopsis

my $rendered = $component->render(
  readonly => 1,
);

template

template(Str | Object $object = $self, Str $section = 'component') : (Any)

The template method is used to load template strings from the DATA section of the class or object specified. The instance invocant will be used if no specific class or object is presented. If an object is provided but no DATA section exists, the object's class hierarchy will be searched returning the first superclass with a matching data section.

template example #1

# given: synopsis

my $template = $component->template;

template example #2

# given: synopsis

my $template = $component->template('App::Component::Image');

template example #3

# given: synopsis

my $template = $component->template(App::Component::Image->new);

variables

variables(Any %args) : (Any)

The variables method is called automatically during template rendering and its return value, assumed to be key-value pairs, are passed to the template rendering method as template variables. Any key-value pairs passed to the "render" method will be passed to this method making this method, if overridden, the ideal place to set component template variable defaults and/or override existing variables.

variables example #1

# given: synopsis

my $variables = {
  $component->variables
};

variables example #2

# given: synopsis

my $variables = {
  $component->variables(true => 1, false => 0)
};
