NAME

Template::Parser::RemoteInclude - call remote template-server inside your template

DESCRIPTION

You can write your own html aggregator for block build pages. However, this module allows you to make remote calls directly from the template. This is very useful when your project have a template server.

This module allows you to make any http-requests from template.

Depends on Template::Parser and AnyEvent::Curl::Multi.

Curl::Multi faster than LWP. AnyEvent::Curl::Multi much faster than LWP ;)

Use and enjoy!

NOTE

  • Directive RINCLUDE like PROCESS, but call remote uri.

  • Parser does not know anything about Template::Stash, but knows about the variables passed in Template::process.

  • Content of the response can be as a simple html or a new template

  • Contents of the response is recursively scanned for directives RINCLUDE and makes additional request if necessary

  • The best option when your template-server is located on the localhost

SYNOPSIS

create Template object with Template::Parser::RemoteInclude as parser.

use Template;
use Template::Parser::RemoteInclude;

my $tt = Template->new(
     INCLUDE_PATH => '....',
     ....,
     PARSER       => Template::Parser::RemoteInclude->new(
         'Template::Parser' => {
             ....,
         },
         'AnyEvent::Curl::Multi' => {
            max_concurrency => 10,
            ....,
         }
     )
);

simple example include content http://ya.ru/ (with GET as http method)

# example 1
my $tmpl = "[% RINCLUDE GET 'http://ya.ru/' %]";
$tt->process(\$tmpl,{});

# example 2 - use variables passed in Template::process
my $tmpl = "[% RINCLUDE GET ya_url %]";
$tt->process(\$tmpl,{ya_url => 'http://ya.ru/'});

# example 3 - set headers
my $tmpl = "[% RINCLUDE GET ya_url ['header1' => 'value1','header2' => 'value2'] %]";
$tt->process(\$tmpl,{ya_url => 'http://ya.ru/'});

# example 4 - set headers
my $tmpl = "[% RINCLUDE GET ya_url  headers %]";
$tt->process(\$tmpl,{ya_url => 'http://ya.ru/', headers => ['header1' => 'value1','header2' => 'value2']});

# example 5 - use HTTP::Request (with POST as http method) passed in Template::process
my $tmpl = "[% RINCLUDE http_req_1 %]";
$tt->process(
    \$tmpl,
    {
        http_req_1 => HTTP::Request->new(
                                            POST => 'http://ya.ru/', 
                                            ['header1' => 'value1','header2' => 'value2'], 
                                            $content
                                         )
    }
);

example include remote template

# http://example.com/get/template/hello_world => 
# '<b>Hello, [% name %]!</b><br>[% name = "Boris" %][% RINCLUDE  "http://example.com/.../another" %]'
# and
# http://example.com/.../another => 
# '<b>And goodbye, [% name %]!</b>'

# example
my $tmpl = "[% RINCLUDE GET 'http://example.com/get/template/hello_world' %]";
$tt->process(\$tmpl,{name => 'User'});

# returned
<b>Hello, User!</b><br><b>And goodbye, Boris!</b>
