Some of the plugins interface to external modules (detailed below) which should be downloaded from any \s-1CPAN\s0 site and installed before using the plugin. .SS "Assert" .IX Subsection "Assert" New in 2.20! The Assert plugin adds an \&\f(CW\*(C`assert\*(C'\fR virtual method that you can use to catch undefined values. .PP For example, consider this dotop: .PP .Vb 1 \& [% user.name %] .Ve .PP If \f(CW\*(C`user.name\*(C'\fR is an undefined value then \s-1TT\s0 will silently ignore the fact and print nothing. If you \f(CW\*(C`USE\*(C'\fR the \f(CW\*(C`assert\*(C'\fR plugin then you can add the \f(CW\*(C`assert\*(C'\fR vmethod between the \f(CW\*(C`user\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`name\*(C'\fR elements, like so: .PP .Vb 1 \& [% user.assert.name %] .Ve .PP Now, if \f(CW\*(C`user.name\*(C'\fR is an undefined value, an exception will be thrown: .PP .Vb 1 \& assert error \- undefined value for name .Ve .SS "\s-1CGI\s0" .IX Subsection "CGI" The \s-1CGI\s0 plugin is a wrapper around Lincoln Stein's \&\s-1CGI\s0.pm module. The plugin is distributed with the Template Toolkit (see Template::Plugin::CGI) and the \s-1CGI\s0 module itself is distributed with recent versions Perl, or is available from \s-1CPAN.\s0 .PP .Vb 6 \& [% USE CGI %] \& [% CGI.param(\*(Aqparam_name\*(Aq) %] \& [% CGI.start_form %] \& [% CGI.popup_menu( Name => \*(Aqcolor\*(Aq, \& Values => [ \*(AqGreen\*(Aq, \*(AqBrown\*(Aq ] ) %] \& [% CGI.end_form %] .Ve .SS "Datafile" .IX Subsection "Datafile" Provides an interface to data stored in a plain text file in a simple delimited format. The first line in the file specifies field names which should be delimiter by any non-word character sequence. Subsequent lines define data using the same delimiter as in the first line. Blank lines and comments (lines starting '#') are ignored. See Template::Plugin::Datafile for further details. .PP /tmp/mydata: .PP .Vb 5 \& # define names for each field \& id : email : name : tel \& # here\*(Aqs the data \& fred : fred@here.com : Fred Smith : 555\-1234 \& bill : bill@here.com : Bill White : 555\-5678 .Ve .PP example: .PP .Vb 1 \& [% USE userlist = datafile(\*(Aq/tmp/mydata\*(Aq) %] \& \& [% FOREACH user = userlist %] \& [% user.name %] ([% user.id %]) \& [% END %] .Ve .SS "Date" .IX Subsection "Date" The Date plugin provides an easy way to generate formatted time and date strings by delegating to the \s-1POSIX\s0 \f(CW\*(C`strftime()\*(C'\fR routine. See Template::Plugin::Date and \s-1POSIX\s0 for further details. .PP .Vb 2 \& [% USE date %] \& [% date.format %] # current time/date \& \& File last modified: [% date.format(template.modtime) %] .Ve .SS "Directory" .IX Subsection "Directory" The Directory plugin provides a simple interface to a directory and the files within it. See Template::Plugin::Directory for further details. .PP .Vb 7 \& [% USE dir = Directory(\*(Aq/tmp\*(Aq) %] \& [% FOREACH file = dir.files %] \& # all the plain files in the directory \& [% END %] \& [% FOREACH file = dir.dirs %] \& # all the sub\-directories \& [% END %] .Ve .SS "\s-1DBI\s0" .IX Subsection "DBI" The \f(CW\*(C`DBI\*(C'\fR plugin is no longer distributed as part of the Template Toolkit (as of version 2.15). It is now available as a separate Template::DBI distribution from \s-1CPAN.\s0 .SS "Dumper" .IX Subsection "Dumper" The Dumper plugin provides an interface to the Data::Dumper module. See Template::Plugin::Dumper and Data::Dumper for further details. .PP .Vb 2 \& [% USE dumper(indent=0, pad="<br>") %] \& [% dumper.dump(myvar, yourvar) %] .Ve .SS "File" .IX Subsection "File" The File plugin provides a general abstraction for files and can be used to fetch information about specific files within a filesystem. See Template::Plugin::File for further details. .PP .Vb 4 \& [% USE File(\*(Aq/tmp/foo.html\*(Aq) %] \& [% File.name %] # foo.html \& [% File.dir %] # /tmp \& [% File.mtime %] # modification time .Ve .SS "Filter" .IX Subsection "Filter" This module implements a base class plugin which can be subclassed to easily create your own modules that define and install new filters. .PP .Vb 1 \& package MyOrg::Template::Plugin::MyFilter; \& \& use Template::Plugin::Filter; \& use base qw( Template::Plugin::Filter ); \& \& sub filter { \& my ($self, $text) = @_; \& # ...mungify $text... \& return $text; \& } .Ve .PP Example of use: .PP .Vb 2 \& # now load it... \& [% USE MyFilter %] \& \& # ...and use the returned object as a filter \& [% FILTER $MyFilter %] \& ... \& [% END %] .Ve .PP See Template::Plugin::Filter for further details. .SS "Format" .IX Subsection "Format" The Format plugin provides a simple way to format text according to a \f(CW\*(C`printf()\*(C'\fR\-like format. See Template::Plugin::Format for further details. .PP .Vb 2 \& [% USE bold = format(\*(Aq<b>%s</b>\*(Aq) %] \& [% bold(\*(AqHello\*(Aq) %] .Ve .SS "\s-1GD\s0" .IX Subsection "GD" The \f(CW\*(C`GD\*(C'\fR plugins are no longer part of the core Template Toolkit distribution. They are now available from \s-1CPAN\s0 in a separate Template::GD distribution. .SS "\s-1HTML\s0" .IX Subsection "HTML" The \s-1HTML\s0 plugin is very basic, implementing a few useful methods for generating \s-1HTML.\s0 It is likely to be extended in the future or integrated with a larger project to generate \s-1HTML\s0 elements in a generic way. .PP .Vb 4 \& [% USE HTML %] \& [% HTML.escape("if (a < b && c > d) ..." %] \& [% HTML.attributes(border => 1, cellpadding => 2) %] \& [% HTML.element(table => { border => 1, cellpadding => 2 }) %] .Ve .PP See Template::Plugin::HTML for further details. .SS "Iterator" .IX Subsection "Iterator" The Iterator plugin provides a way to create a Template::Iterator object to iterate over a data set. An iterator is created automatically by the \f(CW\*(C`FOREACH\*(C'\fR directive and is aliased to the \f(CW\*(C`loop\*(C'\fR variable. This plugin allows an iterator to be explicitly created with a given name, or the default plugin name, \f(CW\*(C`iterator\*(C'\fR. See Template::Plugin::Iterator for further details. .PP .Vb 1 \& [% USE iterator(list, args) %] \& \& [% FOREACH item = iterator %] \& [% \*(Aq<ul>\*(Aq IF iterator.first %] \& <li>[% item %] \& [% \*(Aq</ul>\*(Aq IF iterator.last %] \& [% END %] .Ve .SS "Pod" .IX Subsection "Pod" This plugin provides an interface to the Pod::POM module which parses \s-1POD\s0 documents into an internal object model which can then be traversed and presented through the Template Toolkit. .PP .Vb 1 \& [% USE Pod(podfile) %] \& \& [% FOREACH head1 = Pod.head1; \& FOREACH head2 = head1/head2; \& ... \& END; \& END \& %] .Ve .SS "Scalar" .IX Subsection "Scalar" The Template Toolkit calls user-defined subroutines and object methods using Perl's array context by default. .PP .Vb 2 \& # TT2 calls object methods in array context by default \& [% object.method %] .Ve .PP This plugin module provides a way for you to call subroutines and methods in scalar context. .PP .Vb 1 \& [% USE scalar %] \& \& # force it to use scalar context \& [% object.scalar.method %] \& \& # also works with subroutine references \& [% scalar.my_sub_ref %] .Ve .SS "String" .IX Subsection "String" The String plugin implements an object-oriented interface for manipulating strings. See Template::Plugin::String for further details. .PP .Vb 2 \& [% USE String \*(AqHello\*(Aq %] \& [% String.append(\*(Aq World\*(Aq) %] \& \& [% msg = String.new(\*(AqAnother string\*(Aq) %] \& [% msg.replace(\*(Aqstring\*(Aq, \*(Aqtext\*(Aq) %] \& \& The string "[% msg %]" is [% msg.length %] characters long. .Ve .SS "Table" .IX Subsection "Table" The Table plugin allows you to format a list of data items into a virtual table by specifying a fixed number of rows or columns, with an optional overlap. See Template::Plugin::Table for further details. .PP .Vb 1 \& [% USE table(list, rows=10, overlap=1) %] \& \& [% FOREACH item = table.col(3) %] \& [% item %] \& [% END %] .Ve .SS "\s-1URL\s0" .IX Subsection "URL" The \s-1URL\s0 plugin provides a simple way of constructing URLs from a base part and a variable set of parameters. See Template::Plugin::URL for further details. .PP .Vb 1 \& [% USE mycgi = url(\*(Aq/cgi\-bin/bar.pl\*(Aq, debug=1) %] \& \& [% mycgi %] \& # ==> /cgi/bin/bar.pl?debug=1 \& \& [% mycgi(mode=\*(Aqsubmit\*(Aq) %] \& # ==> /cgi/bin/bar.pl?mode=submit&debug=1 .Ve .SS "Wrap" .IX Subsection "Wrap" The Wrap plugin uses the Text::Wrap module to provide simple paragraph formatting. See Template::Plugin::Wrap and Text::Wrap for further details. .PP .Vb 3 \& [% USE wrap %] \& [% wrap(mytext, 40, \*(Aq* \*(Aq, \*(Aq \*(Aq) %] # use wrap sub \& [% mytext FILTER wrap(40) \-%] # or wrap FILTER .Ve .PP The \f(CW\*(C`Text::Wrap\*(C'\fR module is available from \s-1CPAN:\s0 .PP .Vb 1 \& http://www.cpan.org/modules/by\-module/Text/ .Ve .SS "\s-1XML\s0" .IX Subsection "XML" The \f(CW\*(C`XML::DOM\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`XML::RSS\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`XML::Simple\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`XML::XPath\*(C'\fR plugins are no longer distributed with the Template Toolkit as of version 2.15 .PP They are now available in a separate Template::XML distribution.
