NAME¶
Any::Template::ProcessDir -- Process a directory of templates
VERSION¶
version 0.07
SYNOPSIS¶
use Any::Template::ProcessDir;
# Process templates and generate result files in a single directory
#
my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
dir => '/path/to/dir',
process_text => sub {
my $template = Any::Template->new( Backend => '...', String => $_[0] );
$template->process({ ... });
}
);
$pd->process_dir();
# Process templates and generate result files to a separate directory
#
my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
dest_dir => '/path/to/dest/dir',
process_file => sub {
my $file = $_[0];
# do something with $file, return content
}
);
$pd->process_dir();
DESCRIPTION¶
Recursively processes a directory of templates, generating a set of result files
in the same directory or in a parallel directory. Each file in the source
directory may be template-processed, copied, or ignored depending on its
pathname.
CONSTRUCTOR¶
Specifying directory/directories¶
- •
- If you want to generate the result files in the same
directory as the templates, just specify dir.
my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
dir => '/path/to/dir',
...
);
- •
- If you want to generate the result files in a
separate directory from the templates, specify source_dir
and dest_dir.
my $pd = Any::Template::ProcessDir->new(
source_dir => '/path/to/source/dir',
source_dir => '/path/to/dest/dir',
...
);
Specifying how to process templates¶
- process_file
- A code reference that takes the full template filename and
the "Any::Template::ProcessDir" object as arguments, and returns
the result string. This can use Any::Template or another method
altogether. By default it calls "process_text" on the contents
of the file.
- process_text
- A code reference that takes the template text and the
"Any::Template::ProcessDir" object as arguments, and returns the
result string. This can use Any::Template or another method
altogether.
Optional parameters¶
- dir_create_mode
- Permissions mode to use when creating destination
directories. Defaults to 0775. No effect if you are using a single
directory.
- file_create_mode
- Permissions mode to use when creating destination files.
Defaults to 0444 (read-only), so that destination files are not
accidentally edited.
- ignore_files
- Coderef which takes a full pathname and returns true if the
file should be ignored. By default, all files will be considered.
- readme_filename
- Name of a README file to generate in the destination
directory - defaults to "README". No file will be generated if
you pass undef or if you are using a single directory.
- template_file_suffix
- Suffix of template files in source directory. Defaults to
".src". This will be removed from the destination file name.
Any file in the source directory that does not have this suffix (or
"ignore_file_suffix") will simply be copied to the
destination.
METHODS¶
- process_dir
- Process the directory. If using multiple directories, the
destination directory will be removed completely and recreated, to
eliminate any old files from previous processing.
