Template::Parser(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Template::Parser(3)
NAME
Template::Parser - LALR(1) parser for compiling template documents
SYNOPSIS
use Template::Parser;
$parser = Template::Parser->new(\%config);
$template = $parser->parse($text)
|| die $parser->error(), "\n";
DESCRIPTION
The "Template::Parser" module implements a LALR(1) parser and associated methods for
parsing template documents into Perl code.
PUBLIC METHODS
new(\%params)
The "new()" constructor creates and returns a reference to a new "Template::Parser"
object.
A reference to a hash may be supplied as a parameter to provide configuration values. See
"CONFIGURATION OPTIONS" below for a summary of these options and Template::Manual::Config
for full details.
my $parser = Template::Parser->new({
START_TAG => quotemeta('<+'),
END_TAG => quotemeta('+>'),
});
parse($text)
The "parse()" method parses the text passed in the first parameter and returns a reference
to a hash array of data defining the compiled representation of the template text,
suitable for passing to the Template::Document new() constructor method. On error, undef
is returned.
$data = $parser->parse($text)
|| die $parser->error();
The $data hash reference returned contains a "BLOCK" item containing the compiled Perl
code for the template, a "DEFBLOCKS" item containing a reference to a hash array of sub-
template "BLOCK"s defined within in the template, and a "METADATA" item containing a
reference to a hash array of metadata values defined in "META" tags.
CONFIGURATION OPTIONS
The "Template::Parser" module accepts the following configuration options. Please see
Template::Manual::Config for futher details on each option.
START_TAG, END_TAG
The START_TAG and END_TAG options are used to specify character sequences or regular
expressions that mark the start and end of a template directive.
my $parser = Template::Parser->new({
START_TAG => quotemeta('<+'),
END_TAG => quotemeta('+>'),
});
TAG_STYLE
The TAG_STYLE option can be used to set both START_TAG and END_TAG according to pre-
defined tag styles.
my $parser = Template::Parser->new({
TAG_STYLE => 'star', # [* ... *]
});
PRE_CHOMP, POST_CHOMP
The PRE_CHOMP and POST_CHOMP can be set to remove any whitespace before or after a
directive tag, respectively.
my $parser = Template::Parser-E<gt>new({
PRE_CHOMP => 1,
POST_CHOMP => 1,
});
INTERPOLATE
The INTERPOLATE flag can be set to allow variables to be embedded in plain text blocks.
my $parser = Template::Parser->new({
INTERPOLATE => 1,
});
Variables should be prefixed by a "$" to identify them, using curly braces to explicitly
scope the variable name where necessary.
Hello ${name},
The day today is ${day.today}.
ANYCASE
The ANYCASE option can be set to allow directive keywords to be specified in any case.
# with ANYCASE set to 1
[% INCLUDE foobar %] # OK
[% include foobar %] # OK
[% include = 10 %] # ERROR, 'include' is a reserved word
GRAMMAR
The GRAMMAR configuration item can be used to specify an alternate grammar for the parser.
This allows a modified or entirely new template language to be constructed and used by the
Template Toolkit.
use MyOrg::Template::Grammar;
my $parser = Template::Parser->new({
GRAMMAR = MyOrg::Template::Grammar->new();
});
By default, an instance of the default Template::Grammar will be created and used
automatically if a "GRAMMAR" item isn't specified.
DEBUG
The DEBUG option can be used to enable various debugging features of the
"Template::Parser" module.
use Template::Constants qw( :debug );
my $template = Template->new({
DEBUG => DEBUG_PARSER | DEBUG_DIRS,
});
