=head1 DESCRIPTION
-This is the C<Template> view class. Your subclass should inherit from this
-class. The plugin renders the template specified in C<< $c->stash->{template} >>
-or C<< $c->request->match >>. The template variables are set up from the
-contents of C<< $c->stash >>, augmented with C<base> set to C<< $c->req->base >>,
-C<c> to C<$c> and C<name> to C<< $c->config->{name} >>. The output is
-stored in C<< $c->response->output >>.
+This is the Catalyst view class for the L<Template Toolkit|Template>.
+Your application should defined a view class which is a subclass of
+this module. Throughout this manual it will be assumed that your application
+is named F<MyApp> and you are creating a TT view named F<Web>; these names
+are placeholders and should always be replaced with whatever name you've
+chosen for your application and your view. The easiest way to create a TT
+view class is through the F<myapp_create.pl> script that is created along
+with the application:
+
+ $ script/myapp_create.pl view Web TT
+
+This creates a F<MyApp::View::Web.pm> module in the F<lib> directory (again,
+replacing C<MyApp> with the name of your application) which looks
+something like this:
+
+ package FooBar::View::Web;
+
+ use strict;
+ use warnings;
+
+ use base 'Catalyst::View::TT';
+
+ __PACKAGE__->config(DEBUG => 'all');
+
+Now you can modify your action handlers in the main application and/or
+controllers to forward to your view class. You might choose to do this
+in the end() method, for example, to automatically forward all actions
+to the TT view class.
+
+ # In MyApp or MyApp::Controller::SomeController
+
+ sub end : Private {
+ my( $self, $c ) = @_;
+ $c->forward( $c->view('Web') );
+ }
+
+But if you are using the standard auto-generated end action, you don't even need
+to do this!
+
+ # in MyApp::Controller::Root
+ sub end : ActionClass('RenderView') {} # no need to change this line
+
+ # in MyApp.pm
+ __PACKAGE__->config(
+ ...
+ default_view => 'Web',
+ );
+
+This will Just Work. And it has the advantages that:
+
+=over 4
+
+=item *
+
+If you want to use a different view for a given request, just set
+<< $c->stash->{current_view} >>. (See L<Catalyst>'s C<< $c->view >> method
+for details.
+
+=item *
+
+<< $c->res->redirect >> is handled by default. If you just forward to
+C<View::Web> in your C<end> routine, you could break this by sending additional
+content.
+
+=back
+
+See L<Catalyst::Action::RenderView> for more details.
+
+=head2 CONFIGURATION
+
+There are a three different ways to configure your view class. The
+first way is to call the C<config()> method in the view subclass. This
+happens when the module is first loaded.
+
+ package MyApp::View::Web;
+
+ use strict;
+ use base 'Catalyst::View::TT';
+
+ __PACKAGE__->config({
+ INCLUDE_PATH => [
+ MyApp->path_to( 'root', 'templates', 'lib' ),
+ MyApp->path_to( 'root', 'templates', 'src' ),
+ ],
+ PRE_PROCESS => 'config/main',
+ WRAPPER => 'site/wrapper',
+ });
+
+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
+deployment-specific concerns. For example:
+
+ # MyApp_local.conf (Config::General format)
+
+ <View Web>
+ WRAPPER "custom_wrapper"
+ INCLUDE_PATH __path_to('root/templates/custom_site')__
+ INCLUDE_PATH __path_to('root/templates')__
+ </View>
+
+might be used as part of a simple way to deploy different instances of the
+same application with different themes.
+
+=head2 DYNAMIC INCLUDE_PATH
+
+Sometimes it is desirable to modify INCLUDE_PATH for your templates at run time.
+
+Additional paths can be added to the start of INCLUDE_PATH via the stash as
+follows:
+
+ $c->stash->{additional_template_paths} =
+ [$c->config->{root} . '/test_include_path'];
+
+If you need to add paths to the end of INCLUDE_PATH, there is also an
+include_path() accessor available:
+
+ push( @{ $c->view('Web')->include_path }, qw/path/ );
+
+Note that if you use include_path() to add extra paths to INCLUDE_PATH, you
+MUST check for duplicate paths. Without such checking, the above code will add
+"path" to INCLUDE_PATH at every request, causing a memory leak.
+A safer approach is to use include_path() to overwrite the array of paths
+rather than adding to it. This eliminates both the need to perform duplicate
+checking and the chance of a memory leak:
-If you want to override TT config settings, you can do it there by setting
-C<< __PACKAGE__->config->{OPTION} >> as shown in the synopsis. Of interest might be
-C<EVAL_PERL>, which is disabled by default, and C<LOAD_TEMPLATES>, which is set to
-use the provider.
+ @{ $c->view('Web')->include_path } = qw/path another_path/;
-If you want to use EVAL perl, add something like this:
+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
+to search. See L<CAPTURING TEMPLATE OUTPUT> for an example showing this.
- __PACKAGE__->config->{EVAL_PERL} = 1;
- __PACKAGE__->config->{LOAD_TEMPLATES} = undef;
+=head2 RENDERING VIEWS
-If you have configured Catalyst for debug output C<Catalyst::View::TT> will
-enable profiling of template processing (using C<Template::Timer>. This will cause
-HTML comments will get embedded in the output from your templates, such as:
+The view plugin renders the template specified in the C<template>
+item in the stash.
+
+ sub message : Global {
+ my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
+ $c->stash->{template} = 'message.tt2';
+ $c->forward( $c->view('Web') );
+ }
+
+If a stash item isn't defined, then it instead uses the
+stringification of the action dispatched to (as defined by $c->action)
+in the above example, this would be C<message>, but because the default
+is to append '.tt', it would load C<root/message.tt>.
+
+The items defined in the stash are passed to the Template Toolkit for
+use as template variables.
+
+ sub default : Private {
+ my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
+ $c->stash->{template} = 'message.tt2';
+ $c->stash->{message} = 'Hello World!';
+ $c->forward( $c->view('Web') );
+ }
+
+A number of other template variables are also added:
+
+ c A reference to the context object, $c
+ base The URL base, from $c->req->base()
+ name The application name, from $c->config->{ name }
+
+These can be accessed from the template in the usual way:
+
+<message.tt2>:
+
+ The message is: [% message %]
+ The base is [% base %]
+ The name is [% name %]
+
+
+The output generated by the template is stored in C<< $c->response->body >>.
+
+=head2 CAPTURING TEMPLATE OUTPUT
+
+If you wish to use the output of a template for some other purpose than
+displaying in the response, e.g. for sending an email, this is possible using
+L<Catalyst::Plugin::Email> and the L<render> method:
+
+ sub send_email : Local {
+ my ($self, $c) = @_;
+
+ $c->email(
+ header => [
+ To => 'me@localhost',
+ Subject => 'A TT Email',
+ ],
+ body => $c->view('Web')->render($c, 'email.tt', {
+ additional_template_paths => [ $c->config->{root} . '/email_templates'],
+ email_tmpl_param1 => 'foo'
+ }
+ ),
+ );
+ # Redirect or display a message
+ }
+
+=head2 TEMPLATE PROFILING
+
+See L<C<TIMER>> property of the L<config> method.
+
+=head2 METHODS
+
+=head2 new
+
+The constructor for the TT view. Sets up the template provider,
+and reads the application config.
+
+=head2 process($c)
+
+Renders the template specified in C<< $c->stash->{template} >> or
+C<< $c->action >> (the private name of the matched action). Calls L<render> to
+perform actual rendering. Output is stored in C<< $c->response->body >>.
+
+It is possible to forward to the process method of a TT view from inside
+Catalyst like this:
+
+ $c->forward('View::Web');
+
+N.B. This is usually done automatically by L<Catalyst::Action::RenderView>.
+
+=head2 render($c, $template, \%args)
+
+Renders the given template and returns output. Throws a L<Template::Exception>
+object upon error.
+
+The template variables are set to C<%$args> if C<$args> is a hashref, or
+C<< $c->stash >> otherwise. In either case the variables are augmented with
+C<base> set to C<< $c->req->base >>, C<c> to C<$c>, and C<name> to
+C<< $c->config->{name} >>. Alternately, the C<CATALYST_VAR> configuration item
+can be defined to specify the name of a template variable through which the
+context reference (C<$c>) can be accessed. In this case, the C<c>, C<base>, and
+C<name> variables are omitted.
+
+C<$template> can be anything that Template::process understands how to
+process, including the name of a template file or a reference to a test string.
+See L<Template::process|Template/process> for a full list of supported formats.
+
+To use the render method outside of your Catalyst app, just pass a undef context.
+This can be useful for tests, for instance.
+
+It is possible to forward to the render method of a TT view from inside Catalyst
+to render page fragments like this:
+
+ my $fragment = $c->forward("View::Web", "render", $template_name, $c->stash->{fragment_data});
+
+=head3 Backwards compatibility note
+
+The render method used to just return the Template::Exception object, rather
+than just throwing it. This is now deprecated and instead the render method
+will throw an exception for new applications.
+
+This behaviour can be activated (and is activated in the default skeleton
+configuration) by using C<< render_die => 1 >>. If you rely on the legacy
+behaviour then a warning will be issued.
+
+To silence this warning, set C<< render_die => 0 >>, but it is recommended
+you adjust your code so that it works with C<< render_die => 1 >>.
+
+In a future release, C<< render_die => 1 >> will become the default if
+unspecified.
+
+=head2 template_vars
+
+Returns a list of keys/values to be used as the catalyst variables in the
+template.
+
+=head2 config
+
+This method allows your view subclass to pass additional settings to
+the TT configuration hash, or to set the options as below:
+
+=head2 paths
+
+The list of paths TT will look for templates in.
+
+=head2 expose_methods
+
+The list of methods in your View class which should be made available to the templates.
+
+For example:
+
+ expose_methods => [qw/uri_for_css/],
+
+ ...
+
+ sub uri_for_css {
+ my ($self, $c, $filename) = @_;
+
+ # additional complexity like checking file exists here
+
+ return $c->uri_for('/static/css/' . $filename);
+ }
+
+Then in the template:
+
+ [% uri_for_css('home.css') %]
+
+=head2 C<CATALYST_VAR>
+
+Allows you to change the name of the Catalyst context object. If set, it will also
+remove the base and name aliases, so you will have access them through <context>.
+
+For example, if CATALYST_VAR has been set to "Catalyst", a template might
+contain:
+
+ The base is [% Catalyst.req.base %]
+ The name is [% Catalyst.config.name %]
+
+=head2 C<TIMER>
+
+If you have configured Catalyst for debug output, and turned on the TIMER setting,
+C<Catalyst::View::TT> will enable profiling of template processing
+(using L<Template::Timer>). This will embed HTML comments in the
+output from your templates, such as:
<!-- TIMER START: process mainmenu/mainmenu.ttml -->
<!-- TIMER START: include mainmenu/cssindex.tt -->
<!-- TIMER END: process mainmenu/footer.tt (0.003016 seconds) -->
-You can supress template profiling when debug is enabled by setting:
- __PACKAGE__->config->{CONTEXT} = undef;
+=head2 C<TEMPLATE_EXTENSION>
+a sufix to add when looking for templates bases on the C<match> method in L<Catalyst::Request>.
-=head2 METHODS
+For example:
-=cut
+ package MyApp::Controller::Test;
+ sub test : Local { .. }
-sub new {
- my $self = shift;
- my $c = shift;
- $self = $self->NEXT::new(@_);
- my $root = $c->config->{root};
- my %config = (
- EVAL_PERL => 0,
- INCLUDE_PATH => [ $root, "$root/base" ],
- %{ $self->config() }
- );
+Would by default look for a template in <root>/test/test. If you set TEMPLATE_EXTENSION to '.tt', it will look for
+<root>/test/test.tt.
- if ( $c->debug && not exists $config{CONTEXT} ) {
- $config{CONTEXT} = Template::Timer->new(%config);
- }
+=head2 C<PROVIDERS>
- $self->template( Template->new( \%config ) );
- return $self;
-}
+Allows you to specify the template providers that TT will use.
-=head3 process
+ MyApp->config({
+ name => 'MyApp',
+ root => MyApp->path_to('root'),
+ 'View::Web' => {
+ PROVIDERS => [
+ {
+ name => 'DBI',
+ args => {
+ DBI_DSN => 'dbi:DB2:books',
+ DBI_USER=> 'foo'
+ }
+ }, {
+ name => '_file_',
+ args => {}
+ }
+ ]
+ },
+ });
-Renders the template specified in C<< $c->stash->{template} >> or C<< $c->request->match >>.
-Template variables are set up from the contents of C<< $c->stash >>, augmented with C<base>
-set to C<< $c->req->base >>, C<c> to C<$c> and C<name> to C<< $c->config->{name} >>. Output is
-stored in C<< $c->response->output >>.
+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
+TT file-based provider. By default the name is will be prefixed with
+'Template::Provider::'. You can fully qualify the name by using a unary
+plus:
-=cut
+ name => '+MyApp::Provider::Foo'
-sub process {
- my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
- $c->res->headers->content_type('text/html; charset=utf-8')
- unless $c->res->headers->content_type();
- my $output;
- my $name = $c->stash->{template} || $c->req->match;
- unless ($name) {
- $c->log->debug('No template specified for rendering') if $c->debug;
- return 0;
- }
- $c->log->debug(qq/Rendering template "$name"/) if $c->debug;
- unless (
- $self->template->process(
- $name,
- {
- base => $c->req->base,
- c => $c,
- name => $c->config->{name},
- %{ $c->stash }
- },
- \$output
- )
- )
- {
- my $error = $self->template->error;
- $error = qq/Couldn't render template "$error"/;
- $c->log->error($error);
- $c->error($error);
- }
- $c->res->output($output);
- return 1;
-}
+You can also specify the 'copy_config' key as an arrayref, to copy those keys
+from the general config, into the config for the provider:
+
+ DEFAULT_ENCODING => 'utf-8',
+ PROVIDERS => [
+ {
+ name => 'Encoding',
+ copy_config => [qw(DEFAULT_ENCODING INCLUDE_PATH)]
+ }
+ ]
+
+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 strict;
+ use base 'Catalyst::View::TT';
+
+ use Template::AutoFilter;
+
+ __PACKAGE__->config({
+ CLASS => 'Template::AutoFilter',
+ });
-=head3 config
+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>.
-This allows your view subclass to pass additional settings to the
-TT config hash.
+=head2 HELPERS
-=cut
+The L<Catalyst::Helper::View::TT> and
+L<Catalyst::Helper::View::TTSite> helper modules are provided to create
+your view module. There are invoked by the F<myapp_create.pl> script:
+

+ $ script/myapp_create.pl view Web TTSite
+
+The L<Catalyst::Helper::View::TT> module creates a basic TT view
+module. The L<Catalyst::Helper::View::TTSite> module goes a little
+further. It also creates a default set of templates to get you
+started. It also configures the view module to locate the templates
+automatically.
+
+=head1 NOTES
+
+If you are using the L<CGI> module inside your templates, you will
+experience that the Catalyst server appears to hang while rendering
+the web page. This is due to the debug mode of L<CGI> (which is
+waiting for input in the terminal window). Turning off the
+debug mode using the "-no_debug" option solves the
+problem, eg.:
+
+ [% USE CGI('-no_debug') %]
