NAME

Venus::Template - Template Class

ABSTRACT

Template Class for Perl 5

SYNOPSIS

package main;

use Venus::Template;

my $template = Venus::Template->new(
  'From: <{{ email }}>',
);

# $template->render;

# "From: <>"

DESCRIPTION

This package provides a templating system, and methods for rendering templates using simple markup and minimal control structures. The default opening and closing markers, denoting a template token, block, or control structure, are {{ and }}. A token takes the form of {{ foo }} or {{ foo.bar }}. A block takes the form of {{ for foo.bar }} where foo.bar represents any valid path, resolvable by "path" in Venus::Array or "path" in Venus::Hash, which returns an arrayref or Venus::Array object, and must be followed by {{ end foo }}. Control structures take the form of {{ if foo }} or {{ if not foo }}, may contain a nested {{ else foo }} control structure, and must be followed by {{ end foo }}. Leading and trailing whitespace is automatically removed from all replacements.

ATTRIBUTES

This package has the following attributes:

variables

variables(HashRef)

This attribute is read-write, accepts (HashRef) values, is optional, and defaults to {}.

INHERITS

This package inherits behaviors from:

Venus::Kind::Utility

INTEGRATES

This package integrates behaviors from:

Venus::Role::Accessible

Venus::Role::Buildable

Venus::Role::Explainable

Venus::Role::Valuable

METHODS

This package provides the following methods:

render

render(string $template, hashref $variables) (string)

The render method processes the template by replacing the tokens and control structurs with the appropriate replacements and returns the result. Note: The rendering process expects variables to be hashrefs and sets (arrayrefs) of hashrefs.
