mojomojo::formatter::file
MojoMojo::Formatter::File(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation MojoMojo::Formatter::File(3pm)
NAME
MojoMojo::Formatter::File - format file as XHTML
DESCRIPTION
This formatter will format the file argument as XHTML.
Usage: {{file TYPE filename}}
{{file Text uploads/Files/test.txt}}
TYPE is a plugin present in Formatter/File/ directory.
Currently there are only three: Pod, DocBook and Text
The plugin TYPE format only the file which the extension match with 'can_format' method. Respectively pod, xml and txt for existing
plugins.
For security reasons the path of file must be include in 'whitelisting' directory. You can use path_to(DIR) to describe directory in
mojomojo.conf:
Just an example to view the test pod file t/var/files/test.pod :
Add this to mojomojo.conf :
<Formatter::Dir>
prefix_url /myfiles
whitelisting __path_to(t/var/files)__ </Formatter::Dir>
To see the pod content formatted in xhtml, write in the text area:
{{file Pod path_to(t/var/files)test.pod}}
To show recursively all files of directory see script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl script. To test it:
# start mojomojo
./script/mojomojo_server.pl
# run dir2mojomojo script
./script/util/dir2mojomojo.pl --dir=~/dev/mojomojo/t/var/files/ --url=/myfiles
Connect to http://server:3000/myfiles/
