NAME

Template::Resolver - A powerful, and simple, library for resolving placeholders in templated files

VERSION

version 1.15

SYNOPSIS

use Template::Resolver;
my $resolver = Template::Resolver->new($entity);
$resolver->resolve(file => '/path/to/file', key => 'REPLACEME');

DESCRIPTION

This module provides a powerful way to resolve placeholders inside of a templated file. It uses Template::Transformer to interpolate the the placeholder values. The provided template may refer to entity values directly (i.e. ${TEMPLATE{my.entity.value}}) or through transformations (i.e. ${TEMPLATE_perl{property("my.truthy") ? "true" : "false"}}). You may also loop over hash and array entities like this (newlines and indentation included for clarity):

${TEMPLATE<CLUB>:{my.clubs}}$
    {TEMPLATE<MEMBER>:{<CLUB>.members}}
        ${TEMPLATE{<MEMBER>.name}} is a member of the ${TEMPLATE{<CLUB>.club_name}} club.
    ${TEMPLATE<MEMBER>:end}
${TEMPATE<CLUB>:end}

You may access the key when iterating over hashes:

${TEMPLATE<RESOURCE>:{my.resources}}
    Resource, ${TEMPLATE:<RESOURCE.key>} is ${TEMPLATE{<RESOURCE>.deployed_artifact}}
${TEMPLATE<RESOURCE>:end}

You may also access the index when iterating over arrays:

${TEMPLATE<CLUB>:{my.clubs}}
    Club at index ${TEMPLATE<CLUB.ix>} is ${TEMPLATE{<CLUB.name>}}
${TEMPLATE<CLUB>:end}

CONSTRUCTORS
