NAME

Dancer2::Core::Role::Template - Role for template engines

VERSION

version 0.400000

Any class that consumes this role will be able to be used as a template engine under Dancer2.

In order to implement this role, the consumer must implement the method "render". This method will receive three arguments:

Any template receives the following tokens, by default:

"perl_version"
Current version of perl, effectively $^V.
"dancer_version"
Current version of Dancer2, effectively "Dancer2->VERSION".
"settings"
A hash of the application configuration.
"request"
The current request object.
"params"
A hash reference of all the parameters.

Currently the equivalent of "$request->params".
"vars"
The list of request variables, which is what you would get if you called the "vars" keyword.
"session"
The current session data, if a session exists.

The name of the template engine (e.g.: Simple).

The charset. The default value is UTF-8.

The default file extension. If not provided, tt is used.

Path to the directory containing the views.

Path to the directory containing the layouts.

Relative path to the layout directory.

Default: layouts.

Contains the engine.

Returns the full path to the requested view.

Returns the full path to the requested layout.

Returns true if the requested pathname exists. Can be used for either views or layouts:

    $self->pathname_exists( $self->view_pathname( 'some_view' ) );
    $self->pathname_exists( $self->layout_pathname( 'some_layout' ) );

Render the layout with the applied tokens
