NAME
HTML::Declare - For When Template Systems Are Too Huge And Heredocs Too Messy
SYNOPSIS
# Import all constructors
use HTML::Declare ':all';
# A simple hello world
print HTML {
_ => [
HEAD { _ => TITLE { _ => 'Hello World!' } },
BODY { _ => 'Hello World!' }
]
};
# Import specific constructors
use HTML::Declare qw/DIV A/;
# A simple anchor nested in a div
my $tree = DIV {
_ => [
A {
href => 'http://127.0.0.1',
_ => '<< Home Sweet Home!'
}
]
};
print "$tree";DESCRIPTION
A very simple micro language to generate HTML.
This is not a real template system like Template or HTML::Mason, it's just a simple (and fun) way to avoid those messy heredocs. ;)
METHODS
HTML::Declare instances have the following methods.
new
as_html
attributes
children
tag
FUNCTIONS
All exported functions work the same, they expect a hashref as first argument which contains attributes for the tag to generate.
The special attribute _ contains the content for the tag. The content may be a single string (in this case entities are auto encoded), a arrayref containing strings that shouldn't be encoded or HTML::Declare instances.
<TAG> { attribute => 'value' }
DIV { id => 'foo', _ => 'lalala<<encode me>>' }
DIV { id => 'link' _ => [ '<b>Don't encode me!</b>' ] }
DIV { _ => [ A { href => 'http://127.0.0.1', _ => 'Home!' } ] }
DIV { _ => [ A { href => 'http://host', _ => H1 { _ => 'Test' } } ] }A
