NAME Dancer::Template::TemplateFlute - Template::Flute wrapper for Dancer VERSION Version 0.0101 DESCRIPTION This class is an interface between Dancer's template engine abstraction layer and the Template::Flute module. In order to use this engine, use the template setting: template: template_flute The default template extension is ".html". LAYOUT Each layout needs a specification file and a template file. To embed the content of your current view into the layout, put the following into your specification file, e.g. views/layouts/main.xml: This replaces the contents of the following block in your HTML template, e.g. views/layouts/main.html:
Your content
ITERATORS Iterators can be specified explicitly in the configuration file as below. engines: template_flute: iterators: fruits: class: JSON file: fruits.json FILTER OPTIONS Filter options and classes can be specified in the configuration file as below. engines: template_flute: filters: currency: options: int_curr_symbol: "$" image: class: "Flowers::Filters::Image" LOCALIZATION Templates can be localized using the Template::Flute::I18N module. You can define a class that provides a method which takes as first (and only argument) the string to translate, and returns the translated one. You have to provide the class and the method. If the class is not provided, no localization is done. If no method is specified, 'localize' will be used. The app will crash if the class doesn't provide such method. Be sure to return the argument verbatim if the module is not able to translate the string. Example configuration, assuming the class `MyApp::Lexicon' provides a `try_to_translate' method. engines: template_flute: i18n: class: MyApp::Lexicon method: try_to_translate A class could be something like this: package MyTestApp::Lexicon; use Dancer ':syntax'; sub new { my $class = shift; debug "Loading up $class"; my $self = { dictionary => { en => { 'TRY' => 'Try', }, it => { 'TRY' => 'Prova', }, } }; bless $self, $class; } sub dictionary { return shift->{dictionary}; } sub try_to_translate { my ($self, $string) = @_; my $lang = session('lang') || var('lang'); return $string unless $lang; return $string unless $self->dictionary->{$lang}; my $tr = $self->dictionary->{$lang}->{$string}; defined $tr ? return $tr : return $string; } 1; Optionally, you can pass the options to instantiate the class in the configuration. Like this: engines: template_flute: i18n: class: MyApp::Lexicon method: localize options: append: 'X' prepend: 'Y' lexicon: 'path/to/po/files' This will call MyApp::Lexicon->new(append => 'X', prepend => 'Y', lexicon => 'path/to/po/files'); when the engine is initialized, and will call the `localize' method on it to get the translations. FORMS Dancer::Template::TemplateFlute includes a form plugin Dancer::Plugin::Form, which supports Template::Flute forms. The token `form' is reserved for forms. It can be a single Dancer::Plugin::Form object or an arrayref of Dancer::Plugin::Form objects. Typical usage for a single form. XML Specification
