NAME

6       Maypole::View::Base - Base class for view classes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       This is the base class for Maypole view classes. This is an abstract
10       class that defines the interface, and can't be used directly.
11
12   process
13       This is the entry point for the view. It templates the request and
14       returns a "Maypole::Constant" indicate success or failure for the view
15       phase.
16
17       Anyone subclassing this for a different rendering mechanism needs to
18       provide the following methods:
19
20   template
21       In this method you do the actual processing of your template. it should
22       use paths to search for components, and provide the templates with easy
23       access to the contents of vars. It should put the result in
24       "$r->output" and return "OK" if processing was sucessfull, or populate
25       "$r->error" and return "ERROR" if it fails.
26

Other overrides

28       Additionally, individual derived model classes may want to override the
29
30   new
31       The default constructor does nothing. You can override this to perform
32       actions during view initialization.
33
34   paths
35       Returns search paths for templates. the default method returns folders
36       for the model class's "moniker", factory, custom under the configured
37       template root.
38
39   vars
40       returns a hash of data the template should have access to. The default
41       one populates classmetadata if there is a table class, as well as
42       setting the data objects by name if there is one or more objects
43       available.
