NAME

Eidolon::Driver::Template - Eidolon generic template driver.

SYNOPSIS

Example template driver:

package MyApp::Driver::Template;
use base qw/Eidolon::Driver::Template/;

sub parse
{
    my ($self, $tpl) = @_;
    throw DriverError::Template::Open("This is just an example!");
}

    my $self = shift;
    throw DriverError::Template::Open("This is just an example!");
}

DESCRIPTION

The Eidolon::Driver::Template is a generic template driver for Eidolon. It declares some functions that are common for all driver types and some abstract methods, that must be overloaded in ancestor classes. All template drivers should subclass this package.

METHODS

new($templates_dir)

Class constructor. Sets initial class data: $templates_dir - directory where template file will be placed, and checks if $template_dir directory exists, and if it doesn't - throws an exception.

set(%vars)

Sets template variables. %vars - hash of variables and corresponding values. For example:

(
    "title"   => "Hello, world!",
    "content" => "Blabla"
)

parse($tpl)

Parses a $tpl template. Abstract method, should be overloaded in ancestor class.

render()

Renders a previously parsed template. Abstract method, should be overloaded in ancestor class.
