NAME
Mojolicious::Renderer - MIME type based renderer
SYNOPSIS
use Mojolicious::Renderer;
my $renderer = Mojolicious::Renderer->new;
push @{$renderer->classes}, 'MyApp::Foo';
push @{renderer->paths}, '/home/sri/templates';DESCRIPTION
Mojolicious::Renderer is the standard Mojolicious renderer.
See Mojolicious::Guides::Rendering for more.
ATTRIBUTES
Mojolicious::Renderer implements the following attributes.
cache
my $cache = $renderer->cache;
$renderer = $renderer->cache(Mojo::Cache->new);Renderer cache, defaults to a Mojo::Cache object.
classes
my $classes = $renderer->classes;
$renderer = $renderer->classes(['main']);Classes to use for finding templates in DATA sections, first one has the highest precedence, defaults to main.
# Add another class with templates in DATA section
push @{$renderer->classes}, 'Mojolicious::Plugin::Fun';default_format
my $default = $renderer->default_format;
$renderer = $renderer->default_format('html');The default format to render if format is not set in the stash. The renderer will use "types" in Mojolicious to look up the content MIME type.
default_handler
my $default = $renderer->default_handler;
$renderer = $renderer->default_handler('ep');The default template handler to use for rendering in cases where auto detection doesn't work, like for inline templates.
encoding
my $encoding = $renderer->encoding;
$renderer = $renderer->encoding('koi8-r');Will encode the content if set, defaults to UTF-8.
handlers
my $handlers = $renderer->handlers;
$renderer = $renderer->handlers({epl => sub {...}});Registered handlers.
helpers
my $helpers = $renderer->helpers;
$renderer = $renderer->helpers({url_for => sub {...}});Registered helpers.
paths
my $paths = $renderer->paths;
$renderer = $renderer->paths(['/home/sri/templates']);Directories to look for templates in, first one has the highest precedence.
# Add another "templates" directory
push @{$renderer->paths}, '/home/sri/templates';METHODS
Mojolicious::Renderer inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and implements the following ones.
new
my $renderer = Mojolicious::Renderer->new;Construct a new renderer and register data, json as well as text handlers.
add_handler
$renderer = $renderer->add_handler(epl => sub {...});Register a new handler.
add_helper
$renderer = $renderer->add_helper(url_for => sub {...});Register a new helper.
get_data_template
my $template = $renderer->get_data_template({
template => 'foo/bar',
format => 'html',
handler => 'epl'
}, 'foo.html.ep');Get a DATA section template by name, usually used by handlers.
render
my ($output, $type) = $renderer->render(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
my ($output, $type) = $renderer->render(Mojolicious::Controller->new, {
template => 'foo/bar',
foo => 'bar'
});Render output through one of the Mojo renderers. This renderer requires some configuration, at the very least you will need to have a default format and a default handler as well as a template or text/json. See "render" in Mojolicious::Controller for a more user-friendly interface.
template_name
my $template = $renderer->template_name({
template => 'foo/bar',
format => 'html',
handler => 'epl'
});Builds a template name based on an options hash reference with template, format and handler, usually used by handlers.
template_path
my $path = $renderer->template_path({
template => 'foo/bar',
format => 'html',
handler => 'epl'
});Builds a full template path based on an options hash reference with template, format and handler, usually used by handlers.
