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}
