Dancer::Template::TemplateToolkit(3pm)			User Contributed Perl Documentation		    Dancer::Template::TemplateToolkit(3pm)

NAME
Dancer::Template::TemplateToolkit - Template Toolkit wrapper for Dancer DESCRIPTION
This class is an interface between Dancer's template engine abstraction layer and the Template module. This template engine is recomended for production purposes, but depends on the Template module. In order to use this engine, use the template setting: template: template_toolkit This can be done in your config.yml file or directly in your app code with the set keyword. Note that by default, Dancer configures the Template::Toolkit engine to use <% %> brackets instead of its default [% %] brackets. This can be changed within your config file - for example: template: template_toolkit engines: template_toolkit: start_tag: '[%' stop_tag: '%]' You can also add any options you would normally add to the Template module's initialization. You could, for instance, enable saving the compiled templates: engines: template_toolkit: COMPILE_DIR: 'caches/templates' COMPILE_EXT: '.ttc' By default, Template is used, but you can configure Dancer to use a subclass with the "subclass" option. engines: template_toolkit: subclass: My::Template WRAPPER, META variables, SETs Dancer already provides a WRAPPER-like ability, which we call a "layout". The reason we do not use TT's WRAPPER (which also makes it incompatible with it) is because not all template systems support it. Actually, most don't. However, you might want to use it, and be able to define META variables and regular Template::Toolkit variables. These few steps will get you there: o Disable the layout in Dancer You can do this by simply commenting (or removing) the "layout" configuration in the config.yml file. o Use Template Toolkit template engine Change the configuration of the template to Template Toolkit: # in config.yml template: "template_toolkit" o Tell the Template Toolkit engine who's your wrapper # in config.yml # ... engines: template_toolkit: WRAPPER: layouts/main.tt Done! Everything will work fine out of the box, including variables and META variables. SEE ALSO
