=head1 DESCRIPTION

This documentation describes the Template module which is the direct
Perl interface into the Template Toolkit.  It covers the use of the
module and gives a brief summary of configuration options and template
directives.  Please see L<Template::Manual> for the complete reference
manual which goes into much greater depth about the features and use
of the Template Toolkit.  The L<Template::Tutorial> is also available
as an introductory guide to using the Template Toolkit.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new(\%config)

The C<new()> constructor method (implemented by the
L<Template::Base|Template::Base#new()> base class) instantiates a new
C<Template> object. A reference to a hash array of configuration items may be
passed as a parameter.

my $tt = Template->new({
        INCLUDE_PATH => '/usr/local/templates',
        EVAL_PERL    => 1,
    }) || die $Template::ERROR, "\n";

A reference to a new C<Template> object is returned, or undef on error. In the
latter case, the error message can be retrieved by calling L<error()> as a
class method or by examining the C<$Template::ERROR> package variable
directly.

my $tt = Template->new(\%config)
        || die Template->error(), "\n";

my $tt = Template->new(\%config)
        || die $Template::ERROR, "\n";

For convenience, configuration items may also be specified as a list
of items instead of a hash array reference.  These are automatically
folded into a hash array by the constructor.

my $tt = Template->new(INCLUDE_PATH => '/tmp', POST_CHOMP => 1)
        || die $Template::ERROR, "\n";

=head2 process($template, \%vars, $output, %options)

The C<process()> method is called to process a template. The first parameter
indicates the input template as one of:

=over 4

=item *

a filename relative to C<INCLUDE_PATH>, if defined

=item *

a reference to a text string containing the template text

=item *

a file handle reference (e.g. C<IO::Handle> or sub-class) or C<GLOB>
(e.g. C<\*STDIN>), from which the template can be read.

=back

A reference to
a hash array may be passed as the second parameter, containing definitions of
template variables.

# filename
    $tt->process('welcome.tt2')
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

# text reference
    $text = "[% INCLUDE header %]\nHello world!\n[% INCLUDE footer %]";
    $tt->process(\$text)
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

# file handle (GLOB)
    $tt->process(\*DATA)
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

__END__
    [% INCLUDE header %]
    This is a template defined in the __END__ section which is
    accessible via the DATA "file handle".
    [% INCLUDE footer %]

By default, the processed template output is printed to C<STDOUT>. The
C<process()> method then returns C<1> to indicate success. A third parameter
may be passed to the C<process()> method to specify a different output location.
This value may be one of:

=over 4

=item *

a plain string indicating a filename which will be opened (relative to
C<OUTPUT_PATH>, if defined) and the output written to

=item *

a file GLOB opened ready for output

=item *

a reference to a scalar (e.g. a text string) to which output/error is appended

=item *

a reference to a subroutine which is called, passing the output as a parameter

=item *

any object reference which implements a C<print()> method (e.g. C<IO::Handle>,
C<Apache::Request>, etc.) which will be called, passing the generated output
as a parameter.

=back

Examples:

# output filename
    $tt->process('welcome.tt2', $vars, 'welcome.html')
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

# reference to output subroutine
    sub myout {
        my $output = shift;
        ...
    }
    $tt->process('welcome.tt2', $vars, \&myout)
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

# reference to output text string
    my $output = '';
    $tt->process('welcome.tt2', $vars, \$output)
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

print "output: $output\n";

In an Apache/mod_perl handler:

sub handler {
        my $req = shift;

# ...your code here...

# direct output to Apache::Request via $req->print($output)
        $tt->process($file, $vars, $req) || do {
            $req->log_reason($tt->error());
            return SERVER_ERROR;
        };
        return OK;
    }

After the optional third output argument can come an optional
reference to a hash or a list of C<(name, value)> pairs providing further
options for the output.  The only option currently supported is
C<binmode> which, when set to any true value will ensure that files
created (but not any existing file handles passed) will be set to
binary mode.

# either: hash reference of options
    $tt->process($infile, $vars, $outfile, { binmode => 1 })
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

# or: list of name, value pairs
    $tt->process($infile, $vars, $outfile, binmode => 1)
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

Alternately, the C<binmode> argument can specify a particular IO layer such
as C<:utf8>.

$tt->process($infile, $vars, $outfile, binmode => ':utf8')
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

The C<OUTPUT> configuration item can be used to specify a default output
location other than C<\*STDOUT>.  The C<OUTPUT_PATH> specifies a directory
which should be prefixed to all output locations specified as filenames.

my $tt = Template->new({
        OUTPUT      => sub { ... },       # default
        OUTPUT_PATH => '/tmp',
    ...
    }) || die Template->error(), "\n";

# use default OUTPUT (sub is called)
    $tt->process('welcome.tt2', $vars)
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

# write file to '/tmp/welcome.html'
    $tt->process('welcome.tt2', $vars, 'welcome.html')
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

The C<process()> method returns C<1> on success or C<undef> on error. The
error message generated in the latter case can be retrieved by calling the
L<error()> method. See also L<CONFIGURATION SUMMARY> which describes how error
handling may be further customised.

=head2 error()

When called as a class method, it returns the value of the C<$ERROR> package
variable.  Thus, the following are equivalent.

my $tt = Template->new()
        || die Template->error(), "\n";

my $tt = Template->new()
        || die $Template::ERROR, "\n";

When called as an object method, it returns the value of the internal
C<_ERROR> variable, as set by an error condition in a previous call to
process().

$tt->process('welcome.tt2')
        || die $tt->error(), "\n";

Errors are represented in the Template Toolkit by objects of the
L<Template::Exception> class. If the L<process()> method returns a false value
then the C<error()> method can be called to return an object of this class.
The L<type()|Template::Exception#type()> and
L<info()|Template::Exception#info()> methods can called on the object to
retrieve the error type and information string, respectively. The
L<as_string()|Template::Exception#as_string()>
method can be called to return a string of the form C<$type - $info>. This
method is also overloaded onto the stringification operator allowing the
object reference itself to be printed to return the formatted error string.

$tt->process('somefile') || do {
        my $error = $tt->error();
        print "error type: ", $error->type(), "\n";
        print "error info: ", $error->info(), "\n";
        print $error, "\n";
    };

=head2 service()

The C<Template> module delegates most of the effort of processing templates
to an underlying L<Template::Service> object.  This method returns a reference
to that object.

=head2 context()

The L<Template::Service> module uses a core L<Template::Context> object for
runtime processing of templates.  This method returns a reference to
that object and is equivalent to C<< $template-E<gt>service-E<gt>context() >>.

=head2 template($name)

This method is a simple wrapper around the L<Template::Context> method of the
same name.  It returns a compiled template for the source provided as an
argument.

    [%       variable %]
    [%       hash.key %]
    [%         list.n %]
    [%     code(args) %]

Assign a values to variables.

[% SET variable = value %]    # 'SET' also optional
    [%     variable = other_variable
           variable = 'literal text @ $100'
           variable = "interpolated text: $var"
           list     = [ val, val, val, val, ... ]
           list     = [ val..val ]
           hash     = { var => val, var => val, ... }

Like L<SET>, but variables are only set if currently unset (i.e. have no
true value).

[% DEFAULT variable = value %]

=head2 INSERT

Insert a file without any processing performed on the contents.

[% INSERT legalese.txt %]

=head2 PROCESS

Process another template file or block and insert the generated output.
Any template L<BLOCK>s or variables defined or updated in the C<PROCESS>ed
template will thereafter be defined in the calling template.

[% PROCESS template %]

remain local to it.

[% INCLUDE template %]
    [% INCLUDE template  var = val, ... %]

=head2 WRAPPER

evaluated, with the output generated being stored in the C<content> variable.
The named template is then process as per C<INCLUDE>.

[% WRAPPER layout %]
       Some template markup [% blah %]...
    [% END %]

A simple F<layout> template might look something like this:

Your header here...
    [% content %]

       content
    [% # ELSIF/ELSE as per IF, above %]
       content
    [% END %]

=head2 SWITCH / CASE

Multi-way switch/case statement.

           content
    [%   CASE [ val2, val3 ] %]
           content
    [%   CASE %]         # or [% CASE DEFAULT %]
           content
    [% END %]

=head2 MACRO

Define a named macro.

[% MACRO name <directive> %]
    [% MACRO name(arg1, arg2) <directive> %]
    ...

=head2 FILTER

Process enclosed C<FILTER> ... C<END> block then pipe through a filter.

[% FILTER name %]                       # either
    [% FILTER name( params ) %]             # or
    [% FILTER alias = name( params ) %]     # or
       content
    [% END %]

=head2 USE

Load a plugin module (see C<Template::<Manual::Plugins>), or any regular Perl
module when the C<LOAD_PERL> option is set.

[% USE name %]                      # either
    [% USE name( params ) %]            # or
    [% USE var = name( params ) %]      # or
    ...
    [% name.method %]
    [% var.method %]

=head2 PERL / RAWPERL

Evaluate enclosed blocks as Perl code (requires the C<EVAL_PERL> option to be
set).

[% PERL %]
     # perl code goes here
     $stash->set('foo', 10);
     print "set 'foo' to ", $stash->get('foo'), "\n";
