17 This plugin defines the "assert" virtual method that can be used to
18 automatically throw errors when undefined values are used.
19
20 For example, consider this dotop:
21
22 [% user.name %]
23
24 If "user.name" is an undefined value then TT will silently ignore the
25 fact and print nothing. If you "USE" the "assert" plugin then you can
26 add the "assert" vmethod between the "user" and "name" elements, like
27 so:
28
29 [% user.assert.name %]
30
31 Now, if "user.name" is an undefined value, an exception will be thrown:
32
33 assert error - undefined value for name
