NAME

Tenjin - Fast templating engine with support for embedded Perl.

SYNOPSIS

use Tenjin;

$Tenjin::USE_STRICT = 1;	# use strict in the embedded Perl inside
				# your templates. Recommended, but not used
				# by default.

$Tenjin::ENCODING = "utf8";	# set the encoding of your template files
				# to utf8. This is the default encoding used
				# so there's no need to do this if your
				# templates really are utf8.

my $engine = new Tenjin::Engine(\%options);
my $context = { title => 'Tenjin Example', items => [qw/AAA BBB CCC/] };
my $filename = 'file.html';
my $output = $engine->render($filename, $context);
print $output;

DESCRIPTION

Tenjin is a very fast and full-featured templating engine, implemented in several programming languages. It supports embedded Perl, nestable layout template, inclusion of other templates inside a template, capturing parts of or the entire template output, file and memory caching, template arguments and preprocessing.

Tenjin also comes with a command line application, pltenjin, for rendering templates. For example, pltenjin example.html will render the template stored in the example.html file. You can also convert a template to Perl code by using pltenjin -s example.html. This is the code used internally by Tenjin when rendering templates. There are more options, checkout SEE ALSO for links to the usage guides.

For detailed usage instructions see Tenjin::Engine.

SEE ALSO

The original Tenjin website is located at http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/. In there check out http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/pltenjin-users-guide.html for detailed usage guide, http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/pltenjin-examples.html for examples, and http://www.kuwata-lab.com/tenjin/pltenjin-faq.html for frequently asked questions.

Note that the Perl version of Tenjin is refered to as plTenjin on the Tenjin website, and that, as oppose to this module, the website suggests using a .plhtml extension for the templates instead of .html (this is entirely your choice).

Tenjin::Engine, Tenjin::Template, Catalyst::View::Tenjin.

TODO

  • Check if all the sub-modules (like Tenjin::Context, Tenjin::HTML, etc.) are really necessary.

  • In particular, check if Tenjin::HTML can be replaced with some existing CPAN module (HTML::Tiny was suggested).

  • Add the documentation files linked in SEE ALSO to the module distribution, like in the original Tenjin.

  • Expand the description of this module.

  • Create tests, adapted from the tests provided by the original Tenjin.
