WebDyne::Template

NAME

WebDyne::Template - wrapper-template module for embedding WebDyne page output

SYNOPSIS

__PERL__
use WebDyne::Template 'layout.psp';

DESCRIPTION

WebDyne::Template is a chaining and filter module that compiles a wrapper template page and inserts the current page output into named blocks inside that template.

When imported from a page __PERL__ block, it switches the page to WebDyne::Chain, registers itself as both a chain component and filter, and stores the nominated template name in page metadata.

METHODS

• template()

  Resolve the active template filename from page metadata or dir_config('WebDyneTemplate').

• source_mtime($srce_mtime)

  Return the later of the content-page and template modification times so cache staleness checks account for both files.

• filter($self, $data_content_ar, $meta_content_hr)

  Main template-composition routine. Compiles the template, merges metadata, and inserts the content page into the template’s named blocks.

• handler($self, $r, @param)

  Internal chaining entry point that enables this module as the active filter.

NOTES

Template paths may be supplied as absolute paths or as filenames relative to the current page working directory.
