# template($name)
#
# General purpose method to fetch a template and return it in compiled
# form. In the usual case, the $name parameter will be a simple string
# containing the name of a template (e.g. 'header'). It may also be
# a reference to Template::Document object (or sub-class) or a Perl
# sub-routine. These are considered to be compiled templates and are
# returned intact. Finally, it may be a reference to any other kind
# of valid input source accepted by Template::Provider (e.g. scalar
# ref, glob, IO handle, etc).
#
# Templates may be cached at one of 3 different levels. The internal
# BLOCKS member is a local cache which holds references to all
# template blocks used or imported via PROCESS since the context's
# reset() method was last called. This is checked first and if the
# template is not found, the method then walks down the BLOCKSTACK
# list. This contains references to the block definition tables in
# any enclosing Template::Documents that we're visiting (e.g. we've
# been called via an INCLUDE and we want to access a BLOCK defined in
# the template that INCLUDE'd us). If nothing is defined, then we
# iterate through the LOAD_TEMPLATES providers list as a 'chain of
# responsibility' (see Design Patterns) asking each object to fetch()
# the template if it can.
#
# Returns the compiled template. On error, undef is returned and
# the internal ERROR value (read via error()) is set to contain an
# error message of the form "$name: $error".

=head1 DESCRIPTION
The C<Template::Context> module defines an object class for representing
a runtime context in which templates are processed. It provides an
interface to the fundamental operations of the Template Toolkit
processing engine through which compiled templates (i.e. Perl code
constructed from the template source) can process templates, load
plugins and filters, raise exceptions and so on.
A default C<Template::Context> object is created by the L<Template> module.
Any C<Template::Context> options may be passed to the L<Template>
L<new()|Template#new()> constructor method and will be forwarded to the
C<Template::Context> constructor.
use Template;
my $template = Template->new({
TRIM => 1,
EVAL_PERL => 1,
BLOCKS => {
header => 'This is the header',
footer => 'This is the footer',
},
});
Similarly, the C<Template::Context> constructor will forward all configuration
parameters onto other default objects (e.g. L<Template::Provider>,
L<Template::Plugins>, L<Template::Filters>, etc.) that it may need to
instantiate.
$context = Template::Context->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => '/home/abw/templates', # provider option
TAG_STYLE => 'html', # parser option
});
A C<Template::Context> object (or subclass) can be explicitly instantiated and
passed to the L<Template> L<new()|Template#new()> constructor method as the
C<CONTEXT> configuration item.
use Template;
use Template::Context;
my $context = Template::Context->new({ TRIM => 1 });
my $template = Template->new({ CONTEXT => $context });
The L<Template> module uses the L<Template::Config>
L<context()|Template::Config#context()> factory method to create a default
context object when required. The C<$Template::Config::CONTEXT> package
variable may be set to specify an alternate context module. This will be
loaded automatically and its L<new()> constructor method called by the
L<context()|Template::Config#context()> factory method when a default context
object is required.
use Template;
$Template::Config::CONTEXT = 'MyOrg::Template::Context';
my $template = Template->new({
EVAL_PERL => 1,
EXTRA_MAGIC => 'red hot', # your extra config items
...
});
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new(\%params)
The C<new()> constructor method is called to instantiate a
C<Template::Context> object. Configuration parameters may be specified as a
HASH reference or as a list of C<name =E<gt> value> pairs.
my $context = Template::Context->new({
INCLUDE_PATH => 'header',
POST_PROCESS => 'footer',
});
my $context = Template::Context->new( EVAL_PERL => 1 );
The C<new()> method returns a C<Template::Context> object or C<undef> on
error. In the latter case, a relevant error message can be retrieved by the
L<error()|Template::Base#error()> class method or directly from the
C<$Template::Context::ERROR> package variable.
my $context = Template::Context->new(\%config)
|| die Template::Context->error();
my $context = Template::Context->new(\%config)
|| die $Template::Context::ERROR;
The following configuration items may be specified. Please see
L<Template::Manual::Config> for further details.
=head3 VARIABLES
The L<VARIABLES|Template::Manual::Config#VARIABLES> option can be used to
specify a hash array of template variables.
my $context = Template::Context->new({
VARIABLES => {
title => 'A Demo Page',
author => 'Joe Random Hacker',
version => 3.14,
},
};
=head3 BLOCKS
The L<BLOCKS|Template::Manual::Config#BLOCKS> option can be used to pre-define
a default set of template blocks.
my $context = Template::Context->new({
BLOCKS => {
header => 'The Header. [% title %]',
footer => sub { return $some_output_text },
another => Template::Document->new({ ... }),
},
});
=head3 VIEWS
The L<VIEWS|Template::Manual::Config#VIEWS> option can be used to pre-define
one or more L<Template::View> objects.
my $context = Template::Context->new({
VIEWS => [
bottom => { prefix => 'bottom/' },
middle => { prefix => 'middle/', base => 'bottom' },
top => { prefix => 'top/', base => 'middle' },
],
});
=head3 TRIM
The L<TRIM|Template::Manual::Config#TRIM> option can be set to have any
leading and trailing whitespace automatically removed from the output of all
template files and C<BLOCK>s.
example:
[% BLOCK foo %]
Line 1 of foo
[% END %]
before
[% INCLUDE foo %]
after
output:
before
Line 1 of foo
after
=head3 EVAL_PERL
The L<EVAL_PERL|Template::Manual::Config#EVAL_PERL> is used to indicate if
C<PERL> and/or C<RAWPERL> blocks should be evaluated. It is disabled by
default.
=head3 RECURSION
The L<RECURSION|Template::Manual::Config#RECURSION> can be set to
allow templates to recursively process themselves, either directly
(e.g. template C<foo> calls C<INCLUDE foo>) or indirectly (e.g.
C<foo> calls C<INCLUDE bar> which calls C<INCLUDE foo>).
=head3 LOAD_TEMPLATES
The L<LOAD_TEMPLATES|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_TEMPLATES> option can be
used to provide a reference to a list of L<Template::Provider> objects or
sub-classes thereof which will take responsibility for loading and compiling
templates.
my $context = Template::Context->new({
LOAD_TEMPLATES => [
MyOrg::Template::Provider->new({ ... }),
Template::Provider->new({ ... }),
],
});
=head3 LOAD_PLUGINS
The L<LOAD_PLUGINS|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_PLUGINS> options can be used
to specify a list of provider objects responsible for loading and
instantiating template plugin objects.
my $context = Template::Context->new({
LOAD_PLUGINS => [
MyOrg::Template::Plugins->new({ ... }),
Template::Plugins->new({ ... }),
],
});
=head3 LOAD_FILTERS
The L<LOAD_FILTERS|Template::Manual::Config#LOAD_FILTERS> option can be used
to specify a list of provider objects for returning and/or creating filter
subroutines.
my $context = Template::Context->new({
LOAD_FILTERS => [
MyTemplate::Filters->new(),
Template::Filters->new(),
],
});
=head3 STASH
The L<STASH|Template::Manual::Config#STASH> option can be used to
specify a L<Template::Stash> object or sub-class which will take
responsibility for managing template variables.
my $stash = MyOrg::Template::Stash->new({ ... });
my $context = Template::Context->new({
STASH => $stash,
});
=head3 DEBUG
The L<DEBUG|Template::Manual::Config#DEBUG> option can be used to enable
various debugging features of the L<Template::Context> module.
use Template::Constants qw( :debug );
my $template = Template->new({
DEBUG => DEBUG_CONTEXT | DEBUG_DIRS,
});
=head2 template($name)
Returns a compiled template by querying each of the L<LOAD_TEMPLATES> providers
(instances of L<Template::Provider>, or sub-class) in turn.
$template = $context->template('header');
On error, a L<Template::Exception> object of type 'C<file>' is thrown via
C<die()>. This can be caught by enclosing the call to C<template()> in an
C<eval> block and examining C<$@>.
eval { $template = $context->template('header') };
if ($@) {
print "failed to fetch template: $@\n";
}
=head2 plugin($name, \@args)
Instantiates a plugin object by querying each of the L<LOAD_PLUGINS>
providers. The default L<LOAD_PLUGINS> provider is a L<Template::Plugins>
object which attempts to load plugin modules, according the various
configuration items such as L<PLUGIN_BASE|Template::Plugins#PLUGIN_BASE>,
L<LOAD_PERL|Template::Plugins#LOAD_PERL>, etc., and then instantiate an object
via L<new()|Template::Plugin#new()>. A reference to a list of constructor
arguments may be passed as the second parameter. These are forwarded to the
plugin constructor.
Returns a reference to a plugin (which is generally an object, but
doesn't have to be). Errors are thrown as L<Template::Exception> objects
with the type set to 'C<plugin>'.
$plugin = $context->plugin('DBI', 'dbi:msql:mydbname');
=head2 filter($name, \@args, $alias)
Instantiates a filter subroutine by querying the L<LOAD_FILTERS> providers.
The default L<LOAD_FILTERS> provider is a L<Template::Filters> object.
Additional arguments may be passed by list reference along with an optional
alias under which the filter will be cached for subsequent use. The filter is
cached under its own C<$name> if C<$alias> is undefined. Subsequent calls to
C<filter($name)> will return the cached entry, if defined. Specifying arguments
bypasses the caching mechanism and always creates a new filter. Errors are
thrown as L<Template::Exception> objects with the type set to 'C<filter>'.
# static filter (no args)
$filter = $context->filter('html');
# dynamic filter (args) aliased to 'padright'
$filter = $context->filter('format', '%60s', 'padright');
# retrieve previous filter via 'padright' alias
$filter = $context->filter('padright');
=head2 process($template, \%vars)
Processes a template named or referenced by the first parameter and returns
the output generated. An optional reference to a hash array may be passed
as the second parameter, containing variable definitions which will be set
before the template is processed. The template is processed in the current
context, with no localisation of variables performed. Errors are thrown
as L<Template::Exception> objects via C<die()>.
$output = $context->process('header', { title => 'Hello World' });
=head2 include($template, \%vars)
Similar to L<process()>, but using localised variables. Changes made to
any variables will only persist until the C<include()> method completes.
$output = $context->include('header', { title => 'Hello World' });
=head2 throw($error_type, $error_message, \$output)
Raises an exception in the form of a L<Template::Exception> object by calling
C<die()>. This method may be passed a reference to an existing
L<Template::Exception> object; a single value containing an error message
which is used to instantiate a L<Template::Exception> of type 'C<undef>'; or a
pair of values representing the exception C<type> and C<info> from which a
L<Template::Exception> object is instantiated. e.g.
$context->throw($exception);
$context->throw("I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that");
$context->throw('denied', "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that");
The optional third parameter may be a reference to the current output
buffer. This is then stored in the exception object when created,
allowing the catcher to examine and use the output up to the point at
which the exception was raised.
$output .= 'blah blah blah';
$output .= 'more rhubarb';
$context->throw('yack', 'Too much yacking', \$output);
=head2 catch($exception, \$output)
Catches an exception thrown, either as a reference to a L<Template::Exception>
object or some other value. In the latter case, the error string is promoted
to a L<Template::Exception> object of 'C<undef>' type. This method also
accepts a reference to the current output buffer which is passed to the
L<Template::Exception> constructor, or is appended to the output buffer stored
in an existing L<Template::Exception> object, if unique (i.e. not the same
reference). By this process, the correct state of the output buffer can be
reconstructed for simple or nested throws.
=head2 define_block($name, $block)
Adds a new block definition to the internal L<BLOCKS> cache. The first
argument should contain the name of the block and the second a reference
to a L<Template::Document> object or template sub-routine, or template text
which is automatically compiled into a template sub-routine.
Returns a true value (the sub-routine or L<Template::Document> reference) on
success or undef on failure. The relevant error message can be retrieved by
calling the L<error()|Template::Base#error()> method.
=head2 define_filter($name, \&filter, $is_dynamic)
Adds a new filter definition by calling the
L<store()|Template::Filters#store()> method on each of the L<LOAD_FILTERS>
providers until accepted (in the usual case, this is accepted straight away by
the one and only L<Template::Filters> provider). The first argument should
contain the name of the filter and the second a reference to a filter
subroutine. The optional third argument can be set to any true value to
indicate that the subroutine is a dynamic filter factory.
Returns a true value or throws a 'C<filter>' exception on error.
=head2 define_view($name, \%params)
This method allows you to define a named L<view|Template::View>.
$context->define_view(
my_view => {
prefix => 'my_templates/'
}
);
The view is then accessible as a template variable.
[% my_view.print(some_data) %]
=head2 define_views($views)
This method allows you to define multiple named L<views|Template::View>.
A reference to a hash array or list reference should be passed as an argument.
$context->define_view({ # hash reference
my_view_one => {
prefix => 'my_templates_one/'
},
my_view_two => {
prefix => 'my_templates_two/'
}
});
If you're defining multiple views of which one or more are based on other
views in the same definition then you should pass them as a list reference.
This ensures that they get created in the right order (Perl does not preserve
the order of items defined in a hash reference so you can't guarantee that
your base class view will be defined before your subclass view).
$context->define_view([ # list referenence
my_view_one => {
prefix => 'my_templates_one/'
},
my_view_two => {
prefix => 'my_templates_two/' ,
base => 'my_view_one',
}
]);
The views are then accessible as template variables.
[% my_view_one.print(some_data) %]
[% my_view_two.print(some_data) %]
See also the L<VIEWS> option.
=head2 localise(\%vars)
Clones the stash to create a context with localised variables. Returns a
reference to the newly cloned stash object which is also stored
internally.
$stash = $context->localise();
=head2 delocalise()
Restore the stash to its state prior to localisation.
$stash = $context->delocalise();
=head2 visit(\%blocks)
This method is called by L<Template::Document> objects immediately before
they process their content. It is called to register any local C<BLOCK>
definitions with the context object so that they may be subsequently
delivered on request.
=head2 leave()
Compliment to the L<visit()> method. Called by L<Template::Document> objects
immediately after they process their content.
=head2 reset()
Clears the local L<BLOCKS> cache of any C<BLOCK> definitions. Any initial set of
L<BLOCKS> specified as a configuration item to the constructor will be reinstated.
=head2 AUTOLOAD
An C<AUTOLOAD> method provides access to context configuration items.
$stash = $context->stash();
$tflag = $context->trim();
$epflag = $context->eval_perl();
