You may also override the configuration provided in the view class by adding
-a 'View::Web' section to your application config (either in the application
-main class, or in your configuration file). This should be reserved for
+a 'View::Web' section to your application config.
+
+This should generally be used to inject the include paths into the view to
+avoid the view trying to load the application to resolve paths.
+
+ .. inside MyApp.pm ..
+ __PACKAGE__->config(
+ 'View::Web' => {
+ INCLUDE_PATH => [
+ __PACKAGE__->path_to( 'root', 'templates', 'lib' ),
+ __PACKAGE__->path_to( 'root', 'templates', 'src' ),
+ ],
+ },
+ );
+
+You can also configure your view from within your config file if you're
+using L<Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigLoader>. This should be reserved for
deployment-specific concerns. For example:
# MyApp_local.conf (Config::General format)
@{ $c->view('Web')->include_path } = qw/path another_path/;
If you are calling C<render> directly then you can specify dynamic paths by
-having a C<additional_template_paths> key with a value of additonal directories
+having a C<additional_template_paths> key with a value of additional directories
to search. See L<CAPTURING TEMPLATE OUTPUT> for an example showing this.
+=head2 Unicode (pre Catalyst v5.90080)
+
+B<NOTE> Starting with L<Catalyst> v5.90080 unicode and encoding has been
+baked into core, and the default encoding is UTF-8. The following advice
+is for older versions of L<Catalyst>.
+
+Be sure to set C<< ENCODING => 'utf-8' >> and use
+L<Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode::Encoding> if you want to use non-ascii
+characters (encoded as utf-8) in your templates. This is only needed if
+you actually have UTF8 literals in your templates and the BOM is not
+properly set. Setting encoding here does not magically encode your
+template output. If you are using this version of L<Catalyst> you need
+to all the Unicode plugin, or upgrade (preferred)
+
+=head2 Unicode (Catalyst v5.90080+)
+
+This version of L<Catalyst> will automatically encode your body output
+to UTF8. This means if your variables contain multibyte characters you don't
+need top do anything else to get UTF8 output. B<However> if your templates
+contain UTF8 literals (like, multibyte characters actually in the template
+text), then you do need to either set the BOM mark on the template file or
+instruct TT to decode the templates at load time via the ENCODING configuration
+setting. Most of the time you can just do:
+
+ MyApp::View::HTML->config(
+ ENCODING => 'UTF-8');
+
+and that will just take care of everything. This configuration setting will
+force L<Template> to decode all files correctly, so that when you hit
+the finalize_encoding step we can properly encode the body as UTF8. If you
+fail to do this you will get double encoding issues in your output (but again,
+only for the UTF8 literals in your actual template text.)
+
+Again, this ENCODING configuration setting only instructs template toolkit
+how (and if) to decode the contents of your template files when reading them from
+disk. It has no other effect.
+
=head2 RENDERING VIEWS
The view plugin renders the template specified in the C<template>
[% uri_for_css('home.css') %]
+=head2 content_type
+
+This lets you override the default content type for the response. If you do
+not set this and if you do not set the content type in your controllers, the
+default is C<text/html; charset=utf-8>.
+
+Use this if you are creating alternative view responses, such as text or JSON
+and want a global setting.
+
+Any content type set in your controllers before calling this view are respected
+and have priority.
+
=head2 C<CATALYST_VAR>
Allows you to change the name of the Catalyst context object. If set, it will also
=head2 C<TEMPLATE_EXTENSION>
-a sufix to add when looking for templates bases on the C<match> method in L<Catalyst::Request>.
+a suffix to add when looking for templates bases on the C<match> method in L<Catalyst::Request>.
For example:
Allows you to specify the template providers that TT will use.
- MyApp->config({
+ MyApp->config(
name => 'MyApp',
root => MyApp->path_to('root'),
'View::Web' => {
}
]
},
- });
+ );
The 'name' key should correspond to the class name of the provider you
want to use. The _file_ name is a special case that represents the default
This can prove useful when you want to use the additional_template_paths hack
in your own provider, or if you need to use Template::Provider::Encoding
+=head2 C<CLASS>
+
+Allows you to specify a custom class to use as the template class instead of
+L<Template>.
+
+ package MyApp::View::Web;
+ use Moose;
+ extends 'Catalyst::View::TT';
+
+ use Template::AutoFilter;
+
+ __PACKAGE__->config({
+ CLASS => 'Template::AutoFilter',
+ });
+
+This is useful if you want to use your own subclasses of L<Template>, so you
+can, for example, prevent XSS by automatically filtering all output through
+C<| html>.
