NAME
Maplat::Web::TemplateCache - provide template caching and rendering
SYNOPSIS
This module provides template rendering as well as caching the template files
DESCRIPTION
During the reload() calls, this modules loads all template files in the configured directory into RAM and renders them quite fast.
The template rendering can optionally use "meta" rendering with a base template. This is for example used to render the complete layout of a page, and modules only have templates that use only the changing part of the page - this way, you only have to have one global layout and only write the changing part of the page for every module.
Configuration
<module>
<modname>templates</modname>
<pm>TemplateCache</pm>
<options>
<path>MaplatWeb/Templates</path>
<!-- Layout-Template to use for complete pages -->
<layout>maplatlayout</layout>
</options>
</module>
layout is the template name used in meta-rendering.
get()
The one public function to call in this module is get(), in the form of:
$templatehandle->get($name, $uselayout, %webdata);
$name if the name of the template file (without the .tt suffix)
$uselayout is a boolean, indicating if meta-rendering with the configured layout.
%webdata is a hash that is passed through to the template toolkit.
Dependencies
This module is a basic web module and does not depend on other web modules.
