NAME

Solution::Tag::Dump - Simple Perl Structure Dumping Tag (Functioning Custom Tag Example)

Synopsis

{% dump var %}

Description

This is a dead simple demonstration of extending Template::Liquid.

This tag attempts to use Data::Dump and Data::Dumper to create stringified versions of data structures...

use Template::Liquid;
use Solution::Tag::Dump;
warn Template::Liquid->parse("{%dump env%}")->render(env => \%ENV);

...or the entire current scope with ....

use Template::Liquid;
use Solution::Tag::Include;
warn Template::Liquid->parse('{%dump .%}')
    ->render(env => \%ENV, inc => \@INC);

...or the entire stack of scopes with .*...

use Template::Liquid;
use Solution::Tag::Include;
warn Template::Liquid->parse('{%for x in (1..1) %}{%dump .*%}{%endfor%}')
    ->render();

Notes

This is a 5m hack and is subject to change ...I've included no error handling and it may be completly broken. For a better example, see Solution::Tag::Include.
