There are a lot of template engines in CPAN, for example Template-Toolkit, Text::MicroTemplate, HTML::Template, and so on, but all of them have some weak points: a full-featured template engine may be slow, while a fast template engine may be too simple to use. This is why Xslate is developed, which is the best template engine for web applications. The concept of Xslate is strongly influenced by Text::MicroTemplate and Template-Toolkit 2, but the central philosophy of Xslate is different from them. That is, the philosophy is B<sandboxing> that the template logic should not have no access outside the template beyond your permission. Other remarkable features are as follows: =head2 Features =head3 High performance This engine introduces the virtual machine paradigm. Templates are compiled into intermediate code, and then executed by the virtual machine, which is highly optimized for rendering templates. Thus, Xslate is much faster than any other template engines. The template roundup project by Sam Graham shows Text::Xslate got amazingly high scores in I<instance_reuse> condition (i.e. for persistent applications). =over =item The template roundup project L<http://illusori.co.uk/projects/Template-Roundup/> =item Perl Template Roundup October 2010 Performance vs Variant Report: instance_reuse L<http://illusori.co.uk/projects/Template-Roundup/201010/performance_vs_variant_by_feature_for_instance_reuse.html> =back There are also benchmarks in F<benchmark/> directory in the Xslate distribution. =head3 Smart escaping for HTML metacharacters Xslate employs the B<smart escaping strategy>, where a template engine escapes all the HTML metacharacters in template expressions unless users mark values as B<raw>. That is, the output is unlikely to prone to XSS. =head3 Template cascading Xslate supports the B<template cascading>, which allows you to extend templates with block modifiers. It is like a traditional template inclusion, but is more powerful. This mechanism is also called as template inheritance. =head3 Easiness to enhance Xslate is ready to enhance. You can add functions and methods to the template engine and even add a new syntax via extending the parser. =head1 INTERFACE =head2 Methods =head3 B<< Text::Xslate->new(%options) >> Creates a new Xslate template engine with options. You can reuse this instance for multiple calls to C<render()>. Possible options are: =over =item C<< path => \@path // ['.'] >> Specifies the include paths, which may be directory names or virtual paths, i.e. HASH references which contain C<< $file_name => $content >> pairs. Note that if you use taint mode (C<-T>), you have to give absolute paths to C<path> and C<cache_dir>. Otherwise you'll get errors because they depend on the current working directory which might not be secure. =item C<< cache => $level // 1 >> Sets the cache level. If C<< $level == 1 >> (default), Xslate caches compiled templates on the disk, and checks the freshness of the original templates every time. If C<< $level >= 2 >>, caches will be created but the freshness will not be checked. C<< $level == 0 >> uses no caches, which is provided for testing. =item C<< cache_dir => $dir // "$ENV{HOME}/.xslate_cache" >> Specifies the directory used for caches. If C<$ENV{HOME}> doesn't exist, C<< File::Spec->tmpdir >> will be used. You B<should> specify this option for productions to avoid conflicts of template names. =item C<< function => \%functions >> Specifies a function map which contains name-coderef pairs. A function C<f> may be called as C<f($arg)> or C<$arg | f> in templates. Note that these registered functions have to return a B<text string>, not a binary string unless you want to handle bytes in whole templates. Make sure what you want to use returns either a text string or a binary string. For example, some methods of C<Time::Piece> might return a binary string which is encoded in UTF-8, so you'll want to decode their values. # under LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 on MacOSX (Darwin 11.2.0) use Time::Piece; use Encode qw(decode); sub ctime { my $ctime = Time::Piece->new->strftime; # UTF-8 encoded bytes return decode "UTF-8", $ctime; } my $tx = Text::Xslate->new( function => { ctime => \&ctime, }, ..., ); Built-in functions are described in L<Text::Xslate::Manual::Builtin>. =item C<< module => [$module => ?\@import_args, ...] >> Imports functions from I<$module>, which may be a function-based or bridge module. Optional I<@import_args> are passed to C<import> as C<< $module->import(@import_args) >>. For example: # for function-based modules my $tx = Text::Xslate->new( module => ['Digest::SHA1' => [qw(sha1_hex)]], ); print $tx->render_string( '<: sha1_hex($x).substr(0, 6) :>', { x => foo() }, ); # => 0beec7 # for bridge modules my $tx = Text::Xslate->new( module => ['Text::Xslate::Bridge::Star'], ); print $tx->render_string( '<: $x.uc() :>', { x => 'foo' }, ); # => 'FOO' Because you can use function-based modules with the C<module> option, and also can invoke any object methods in templates, Xslate doesn't require specific namespaces for plugins. =item C<< html_builder_module => [$module => ?\@import_args, ...] >> Imports functions from I<$module>, wrapping each function with C<html_builder()>. =item C<< input_layer => $perliolayers // ':utf8' >> Specifies PerlIO layers to open template files. =item C<< verbose => $level // 1 >> Specifies the verbose level. If C<< $level == 0 >>, all the possible errors will be ignored. If C<< $level >= 1 >> (default), trivial errors (e.g. to print nil) will be ignored, but severe errors (e.g. for a method to throw the error) will be warned. If C<< $level >= 2 >>, all the possible errors will be warned. =item C<< suffix => $ext // '.tx' >> Specify the template suffix, which is used for C<cascade> and C<include> in Kolon. Note that this is used for static name resolution. That is, the compiler uses it but the runtime engine doesn't. =item C<< syntax => $name // 'Kolon' >> Specifies the template syntax you want to use. I<$name> may be a short name (e.g. C<Kolon>), or a fully qualified name (e.g. C<Text::Xslate::Syntax::Kolon>). This option is passed to the compiler directly. =item C<< type => $type // 'html' >> Specifies the output content type. If I<$type> is C<html> or C<xml>, smart escaping is applied to template expressions. That is, they are interpolated via the C<html_escape> filter. If I<$type> is C<text> smart escaping is not applied so that it is suitable for plain texts like e-mails. I<$type> may be B<html>, B<xml> (identical to C<html>), and B<text>. This option is passed to the compiler directly. =item C<< line_start => $token // $parser_defined_str >> Specify the token to start line code as a string, which C<quotemeta> will be applied to. If you give C<undef>, the line code style is disabled. This option is passed to the parser via the compiler. =item C<< tag_start => $str // $parser_defined_str >> Specify the token to start inline code as a string, which C<quotemeta> will be applied to. This option is passed to the parser via the compiler. =item C<< tag_end => $str // $parser_defined_str >> Specify the token to end inline code as a string, which C<quotemeta> will be applied to. This option is passed to the parser via the compiler. =item C<< header => \@template_files >> Specify the header template files, which are inserted to the head of each template. This option is passed to the compiler. =item C<< footer => \@template_files >> Specify the footer template files, which are inserted to the foot of each template. This option is passed to the compiler. =item C<< warn_handler => \&cb >> Specify the callback I<&cb> which is called on warnings. =item C<< die_handler => \&cb >> Specify the callback I<&cb> which is called on fatal errors. =item C<< pre_process_handler => \&cb >> Specify the callback I<&cb> which is called after templates are loaded from the disk in order to pre-process template. For example: # Remove whitespace from templates my $tx = Text::Xslate->new( pre_process_handler => sub { my $text = shift; $text=~s/\s+//g; return $text; } ); The first argument is the template text string, which can be both B<text strings> and C<byte strings>. This filter is applied only to files, not a string template for C<render_string>. =back =head3 B<< $tx->render($file, \%vars) :Str >> Renders a template file with given variables, and returns the result. I<\%vars> is optional. Note that I<$file> may be cached according to the cache level. =head3 B<< $tx->render_string($string, \%vars) :Str >> Renders a template string with given variables, and returns the result. I<\%vars> is optional. Note that I<$string> is never cached, so this method should be avoided in production environment. If you want in-memory templates, consider the I<path> option for HASH references which are cached as you expect: my %vpath = ( 'hello.tx' => 'Hello, <: $lang :> world!', ); my $tx = Text::Xslate->new( path => \%vpath ); print $tx->render('hello.tx', { lang => 'Xslate' }); Note that I<$string> must be a text string, not a binary string. =head3 B<< $tx->load_file($file) :Void >> Loads I<$file> into memory for following C<render()>. Compiles and saves it as disk caches if needed. =head3 B<< Text::Xslate->current_engine :XslateEngine >> Returns the current Xslate engine while executing. Otherwise returns C<undef>. This method is significant when it is called by template functions and methods. =head3 B<< Text::Xslate->current_vars :HashRef >> Returns the current variable table, namely the second argument of C<render()> while executing. Otherwise returns C<undef>. =head3 B<< Text::Xslate->current_file :Str >> Returns the current file name while executing. Otherwise returns C<undef>. This method is significant when it is called by template functions and methods. =head3 B<< Text::Xslate->current_line :Int >> Returns the current line number while executing. Otherwise returns C<undef>. This method is significant when it is called by template functions and methods. =head3 B<< Text::Xslate->print(...) :Void >> Adds the argument into the output buffer. This method is available on executing. =head3 B<< $tx->validate($file) :Void >> Checks whether the syntax of I<$file> is valid or invalid as Xslate. If it detects the invalid factor, this method throws the exception. =head2 Exportable functions =head3 C<< mark_raw($str :Str) :RawStr >> Marks I<$str> as raw, so that the content of I<$str> will be rendered as is, so you have to escape these strings by yourself. For example: use Text::Xslate qw( mark_raw ); my $tx = Text::Xslate->new(); my $tmpl = 'Mailaddress: <: $email :>'; my %vars = ( email => mark_raw('Foo <foo at example.com>'), ); print $tx->render_string($tmpl, \%email); # => Mailaddress: Foo <foo@example.com> This function is available in templates as the C<mark_raw> filter, although the use of it is strongly discouraged. =head3 C<< unmark_raw($str :Str) :Str >> Clears the raw marker from I<$str>, so that the content of I<$str> will be escaped before rendered. This function is available in templates as the C<unmark_raw> filter. =head3 C<< html_escape($str :Str) :RawStr >> Escapes HTML meta characters in I<$str>, and returns it as a raw string (see above). If I<$str> is already a raw string, it returns I<$str> as is. By default, this function will automatically be applied to all template expressions. This function is available in templates as the C<html> filter, but you're better off using C<unmark_raw> to ensure that expressions are html-escaped. =head3 C<< uri_escape($str :Str) :Str >> Escapes URI unsafe characters in I<$str>, and returns it. This function is available in templates as the C<uri> filter. =head3 C<< html_builder { block } | \&function :CodeRef >> Wraps a block or I<&function> with C<mark_raw> so that the new subroutine will return a raw string. This function is used to tell the xslate engine that I<&function> is an HTML builder that returns HTML sources. For example: sub some_html_builder { my @args = @_; my $html; # build HTML ... return $html; } my $tx = Text::Xslate->new( function => { some_html_builder => html_builder(\&some_html_builder), }, ); See also L<Text::Xslate::Manual::Cookbook>. =head2 Command line interface The C<xslate(1)> command is provided as a CLI to the Text::Xslate module, which is used to process directory trees or to evaluate one liners. For example: $ xslate -Dname=value -o dest_path src_path $ xslate -e 'Hello, <: $ARGV[0] :> wolrd!' Xslate $ xslate -s TTerse -e 'Hello, [% ARGV.0 %] world!' TTerse See L<xslate(1)> for details. =head1 TEMPLATE SYNTAX There are multiple template syntaxes available in Xslate. =over =item Kolon B<Kolon> is the default syntax, using C<< <: ... :> >> inline code and C<< : ... >> line code, which is explained in L<Text::Xslate::Syntax::Kolon>. =item Metakolon B<Metakolon> is the same as Kolon except for using C<< [% ... %] >> inline code and C<< %% ... >> line code, instead of C<< <: ... :> >> and C<< : ... >>. =item TTerse B<TTerse> is a syntax that is a subset of Template-Toolkit 2 (and partially TT3), which is explained in L<Text::Xslate::Syntax::TTerse>. =item HTMLTemplate There's HTML::Template compatible layers in CPAN. L<Text::Xslate::Syntax::HTMLTemplate> is a syntax for HTML::Template. L<HTML::Template::Parser> is a converter from HTML::Template to Text::Xslate. =back =head1 NOTES There are common notes in Xslate. =head2 Nil/undef handling Note that nil (i.e. C<undef> in Perl) handling is different from Perl's. Basically it does nothing, but C<< verbose => 2 >> will produce warnings on it. =over =item to print Prints nothing. =item to access fields Returns nil. That is, C<< nil.foo.bar.baz >> produces nil. =item to invoke methods Returns nil. That is, C<< nil.foo().bar().baz() >> produces nil. =item to iterate Dealt as an empty array. =item equality C<< $var == nil >> returns true if and only if I<$var> is nil. =back =head1 DEPENDENCIES Perl 5.8.1 or later. If you have a C compiler, the XS backend will be used. Otherwise the pure Perl backend will be used. =head1 TODO =over =item * Context controls. e.g. C<< <: [ $foo->bar @list ] :> >>. =item * Augment modifiers. =item * Default arguments and named arguments for macros. =item * External macros. Just idea: in the new macro concept, macros and external templates will be the same in internals: : macro foo($lang) { "Hello, " ~ $lang ~ " world!" } : include foo { lang => 'Xslate' } : # => 'Hello, Xslate world!' : extern bar 'my/bar.tx'; # 'extern bar $file' is ok : bar( value => 42 ); # calls an external template : include bar { value => 42 } # ditto =item * A "too-safe" HTML escaping filter which escape all the symbolic characters =back =cut =head1 RESOURCES PROJECT HOME: L<https://github.com/xslate/> REPOSITORY: L<https://github.com/xslate/p5-Text-Xslate/> =head1 BUGS Please report issues at L<https://github.com/xslate/p5-Text-Xslate/issues>.
