NAME

Jedi::Plugin::Template - Plugin for Template Toolkit

VERSION

version 1.001

DESCRIPTION

This is a Template::Toolkit plugin for Jedi web app framework.

Jedi is just a simple web app framework that help your create app above Plack.

This plugin handle your Template::Toolkit files for you.

It will use the Jedi config to get the directory of your templates. The default value is the dist_dir of your module.

SYNOPSIS

The directory of your templates should look like :

* public
* views
  * layouts

The public directory contain all your static files. It is generally your javascripts and css.

The views directory contain all your template toolkit files.

The views/layouts contain all your template toolkit layout files.

To use it in your Jedi app :

package MyApps;
use Jedi::App;
use Jedi::Plugin::Template;

sub jedi_app {
  # ...
  $jedi->get('/bla', sub {
    my ($jedi, $request, $response) = @_;
    $response->body(
      $jedi->jedi_template('test.tt', {hello => 'world'}, 'main.tt');
    );
    return 1;
  })
}

1;

The views directory here, look like :

* views
  * test.tt
  * layouts
    * main.tt

The main.tt look like

<html>
<body>
This will wrap your content :

[% content %]
</body>
</html>

And your test.tt :

<p>Hello [% hello %]</p>

CONFIGURATION: template_dir

By default Jedi::Plugin::Template will setup the 'template_dir' configuration to the dist_dir of your package :

MyApps:
 template_dir: DIST_DIR('MyApps')

You can create a config file to be able to do development in your working directory like this :

MyApps:
 template_dir: ./share/

In order to be able to deploy and use properly your app like any other perl packages, use the 'share' directory.

With Dist::Zilla it will be automatic if the "public" and "views" directory is placed under the "share" directory.

If you use Module::Build you need to defined :

my %module_build_args = (
 # ...
 "share_dir" => {
  "dist" => "share"
 },
 # ...
);

SET A DEFAULT LAYOUT: jedi_template_default_layout

You can defined a default layout, by setting the attribute : 'jedi_template_default_layout'

 $jedi_app->jedi_template_default_layout('main.tt');

GET YOUR TEMPLATE: jedi_template

The method 'jedi_template' will use Template to process your template.

$jedi_app->jedi_template($file, \%vars);
$jedi_app->jedi_template($file, \%vars, $layout);

The layout use the jedi_template_default_layout by default.

You can also remove any layout, using the value "none".

$jedi_app->jedi_template($file, \%vars, 'none'),

THE PUBLIC DIRECTORY

The plugin will match all missing by sending a public file if this one exists. It handle cache and compression for you.

* public
  * mystyle.css

curl http://localhost:3000/mystyle.css

If no route match the '/mystyle.css', then the plugin will check in the public dir and send the file if this one is present.
