For general usage instructions, see the documentation of CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate. .SH "EMBEDDED COMPONENT SYNTAX (Template::Toolkit)" .IX Header "EMBEDDED COMPONENT SYNTAX (Template::Toolkit)" The Template::Toolkit syntax for embedding components is: .PP .Vb 1 \& [% CGIAPP.embed("some_run_mode", param1, param2, \*(Aqliteral string3\*(Aq) %] .Ve .PP This can be overridden by the following configuration variables: .PP .Vb 1 \& embed_tag_name # default \*(AqCGIAPP\*(Aq .Ve .PP For instance by setting the following values in your configuration file: .PP .Vb 1 \& embed_tag_name \*(AqMYAPP\*(Aq .Ve .PP Then the embedded component tag will look like: .PP .Vb 1 \& [% MYAPP.embed("some_run_mode") %] .Ve .SH "TT OBJECT CACHING (singleton support)" .IX Header "TT OBJECT CACHING (singleton support)" .SS "Introduction" .IX Subsection "Introduction" In a persistent environment, rather than creating a Template::Toolkit object each time you fill a template, it is much more efficient to load a single Template::Toolkit object and use this object to render all of your templates. .PP However, in a persistent environment, you may have several different applications running, and they all might need to set different Template::Toolkit options (such as \f(CW\*(C`POST_CHOMP\*(C'\fR, etc.). .PP By default, when the \f(CW\*(C`TemplateToolkit\*(C'\fR driver creates a Template::Toolkit object, it caches it. From that point on, whenever the same application needs a Template::Toolkit object, the driver uses the cached object rather than creating a new one. .SS "Multiple Applications in a Shared Persistent Environment" .IX Subsection "Multiple Applications in a Shared Persistent Environment" An attempt is made to prevent different applications from sharing the same \s-1TT\s0 object. .PP Internally, the \s-1TT\s0 objects are stored in a private hash keyed by the web application's class name. .PP You can explicitly specify the class name when you call \f(CW\*(C`config\*(C'\fR: .PP .Vb 6 \& $self\->template\->config( \& type => \*(AqTemplateToolkit\*(Aq, \& TemplateToolkit => { \& storage_class => \*(AqMy::Project\*(Aq, \& }, \& ); .Ve .PP If you don't specify the class name, then the package containing the subroutine that called \f(CW\*(C`config\*(C'\fR is used. For instance: .PP .Vb 7 \& package My::Project; \& sub setup { \& my $self = shift; \& $self\->template\->config( # My::Project is used to store \& type => \*(AqTemplateToolkit\*(Aq, # cached TT object \& ); \& } .Ve .PP A typical \f(CW\*(C`CGI::Application\*(C'\fR module hierarchy looks like this: .PP .Vb 3 \& CGI::Application \& My::Project \& My::Webapp .Ve .PP In this hierarchy, it makes sense to store the cached \s-1TT\s0 object in \&\f(CW\*(C`My::Project\*(C'\fR. To make this happen, either call \f(CW\*(C`$self\->template\->config\*(C'\fR from within \f(CW\*(C`My::Project\*(C'\fR, or explicitly name the \f(CW\*(C`storage_class\*(C'\fR when you call \&\f(CW\*(C`$self\->template\->config\*(C'\fR. .SS "Disabling \s-1TT\s0 Object Caching" .IX Subsection "Disabling TT Object Caching" You can disable Template::Toolkit object caching entirely by providing a false value to the \f(CW\*(C`object_caching\*(C'\fR driver config parameter: .PP .Vb 6 \& $self\->template\->config( \& type => \*(AqTemplateToolkit\*(Aq, \& TemplateToolkit => { \& object_caching => 0, \& }, \& ); .Ve .SS "\s-1TT\s0 Object Caching and Include Paths" .IX Subsection "TT Object Caching and Include Paths" The \f(CW\*(C`include_paths\*(C'\fR driver config parameter is not cached; it is set every time you call \f(CW\*(C`$self\->template\->load\*(C'\fR. So you can safely used cached \s-1TT\s0 objects even if the applications sharing the \s-1TT\s0 object need different \f(CW\*(C`include_paths\*(C'\fR. .SH "CONFIGURATION" .IX Header "CONFIGURATION" The CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::TemplateToolkit driver accepts the following config parameters: .IP "embed_tag_name" 4 .IX Item "embed_tag_name" The name of the tag used for embedding components. Defaults to \&\f(CW\*(C`CGIAPP\*(C'\fR. .IP "template_extension" 4 .IX Item "template_extension" If \f(CW\*(C`auto_add_template_extension\*(C'\fR is true, then CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate will append the value of \&\f(CW\*(C`template_extension\*(C'\fR to \f(CW\*(C`filename\*(C'\fR. By default the \f(CW\*(C`template_extension\*(C'\fR is \f(CW\*(C`.xhtml\*(C'\fR. .IP "emulate_associate_query" 4 .IX Item "emulate_associate_query" \&\fBThis feature is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release.\fR .Sp If this config parameter is true, then CGI::Application::Plugin::AnyTemplate::Driver::TemplateToolkit will copy all of the webapp's query params into the template. .Sp This is similar to what would happen if you used HTML::Template's \&\f(CW\*(C`associate\*(C'\fR feature with the webapp's query object: .Sp .Vb 3 \& my $driver = HTML::Template\->new( \& associate => $self\->query, \& ); .Ve .Sp By default \f(CW\*(C`emulate_associate_query\*(C'\fR is false. .IP "object_caching" 4 .IX Item "object_caching" Whether or not to cache the Template::Toolkit object in a persistent environment .Sp By default, \f(CW\*(C`object_caching\*(C'\fR is enabled. .Sp See \*(L"\s-1TT OBJECT CACHING\s0 (singleton support)\*(R", above. .IP "storage_class" 4 .IX Item "storage_class" What class to use as the storage key when object caching is enabled. .Sp By default, \f(CW\*(C`storage_class\*(C'\fR defaults to the package containing the subroutine that called \f(CW\*(C`$self\->template\->config\*(C'\fR. .Sp See \*(L"\s-1TT OBJECT CACHING\s0 (singleton support)\*(R", above. .PP All other configuration parameters are passed on unchanged to Template::Toolkit. .SH "CONFIGURING UTF\-8 TEMPLATES" .IX Header "CONFIGURING UTF-8 TEMPLATES" \&\f(CW\*(C`AnyTemplate\*(C'\fR does \s-1NOT\s0 support Template::Toolkit's \f(CW\*(C`binmode\*(C'\fR option at runtime: .PP .Vb 3 \& # not possible with AnyTemplate \& $tt\->process($infile, $vars, $outfile, { binmode => 1 }) \& || die $tt\->error(), "\en"; \& \& # not possible with AnyTemplate \& $tt\->process($infile, $vars, $outfile, binmode => 1) \& || die $tt\->error(), "\en"; \& \& # not possible with AnyTemplate \& $tt\->process($infile, $vars, $outfile, binmode => \*(Aq:utf8\*(Aq) \& || die $tt\->error(), "\en"; .Ve .PP Instead, use the \f(CW\*(C`ENCODING\*(C'\fR option in the initial config: .PP .Vb 6 \& $self\->template\->config( \& default_type => \*(AqTemplateToolkit\*(Aq, \& TemplateToolkit => { \& ENCODING => \*(AqUTF\-8\*(Aq \& } \& ); .Ve .PP If you have a mix of encodings in your templates, use a separate \&\f(CW\*(C`AnyTemplate\*(C'\fR configuration for each encoding: .PP .Vb 9 \& $self\->template(\*(Aqascii\*(Aq)\->config( \& default_type => \*(AqTemplateToolkit\*(Aq, \& ); \& $self\->template(\*(Aqutf\-8\*(Aq)\->config( \& default_type => \*(AqTemplateToolkit\*(Aq, \& TemplateToolkit => { \& ENCODING => \*(AqUTF\-8\*(Aq \& } \& ); .Ve .SS "required_modules" .IX Subsection "required_modules" The \f(CW\*(C`required_modules\*(C'\fR function returns the modules required for this driver to operate.
