NAME

Template::Declare

DESCRIPTION

Template::Declare is a prototype declarative code-based HTML templating system. Yes. Another one. There are many others like it, but this one is ours. It's designed to allow template libraries to be composed, mixed in and inherited. The code isn't (yet) pretty nor is it in any way optimized. It's not well enough tested, either.

In the coming weeks, months and years, Template::Declare we will extend it to support all the things we've designed it to do.

BUGS

Crawling all over, baby. Be very, very careful. This code is so cutting edge, it can only be fashioned from carbon nanotubes.

init

This class method initializes the Template::Declare system.

roots

alias

alias Some::Clever::Mixin under '/mixin';

import

import Wifty::UI::something under '/something';

has_template

resolve_template TEMPLATE_PATH INCLUDE_PRIVATE_TEMPLATES

Turns a template path (TEMPLATE_PATH) into a CODEREF. If the boolean INCLUDE_PRIVATE_TEMPLATES is true, resolves private template in addition to public ones.

First it looks through all the valid Template::Declare roots. For each root, it looks to see if the root has a template called $template_name directly (or via an import statement). Then it looks to see if there are any aliased paths for the root with prefixes that match the template we're looking for.
