6 Mojolicious::Renderer - Generate dynamic content
7
9 use Mojolicious::Renderer;
10
11 my $renderer = Mojolicious::Renderer->new;
12 push @{$renderer->classes}, 'MyApp::Controller::Foo';
13 push @{$renderer->paths}, '/home/sri/templates';
14
16 Mojolicious::Renderer is the standard Mojolicious renderer.
17
18 See Mojolicious::Guides::Rendering for more.
19
21 Mojolicious::Renderer implements the following attributes.
22
23 cache
24 my $cache = $renderer->cache;
25 $renderer = $renderer->cache(Mojo::Cache->new);
26
27 Renderer cache, defaults to a Mojo::Cache object.
28
29 classes
30 my $classes = $renderer->classes;
31 $renderer = $renderer->classes(['main']);
32
33 Classes to use for finding templates in "DATA" sections with
34 Mojo::Loader, first one has the highest precedence, defaults to "main".
35 Only files with exactly two extensions will be used, like
36 "index.html.ep". Note that for templates to be detected, these classes
37 need to have already been loaded and added before "warmup" is called,
38 which usually happens automatically during application startup.
39
40 # Add another class with templates in DATA section
41 push @{$renderer->classes}, 'Mojolicious::Plugin::Fun';
42
43 # Add another class with templates in DATA section and higher precedence
44 unshift @{$renderer->classes}, 'Mojolicious::Plugin::MoreFun';
45
46 compress
47 my $bool = $renderer->compress;
48 $renderer = $renderer->compress($bool);
49
50 Try to negotiate compression for dynamically generated response content
51 and "gzip" compress it automatically, defaults to true.
52
53 default_format
54 my $default = $renderer->default_format;
55 $renderer = $renderer->default_format('html');
56
57 The default format to render if "format" is not set in the stash,
58 defaults to "html". Note that changing the default away from "html" is
59 not recommended, as it has the potential to break, for example, plugins
60 with bundled templates.
61
62 default_handler
63 my $default = $renderer->default_handler;
64 $renderer = $renderer->default_handler('ep');
65
66 The default template handler to use for rendering in cases where auto-
67 detection doesn't work, like for "inline" templates.
68
69 encoding
70 my $encoding = $renderer->encoding;
71 $renderer = $renderer->encoding('koi8-r');
72
73 Will encode generated content if set, defaults to "UTF-8". Note that
74 many renderers such as Mojolicious::Plugin::EPRenderer also use this
75 value to determine if template files should be decoded before
76 processing.
77
78 handlers
79 my $handlers = $renderer->handlers;
80 $renderer = $renderer->handlers({epl => sub {...}});
81
82 Registered handlers.
83
84 helpers
85 my $helpers = $renderer->helpers;
86 $renderer = $renderer->helpers({url_for => sub {...}});
87
88 Registered helpers.
89
90 min_compress_size
91 my $size = $renderer->min_compress_size;
92 $renderer = $renderer->min_compress_size(1024);
93
94 Minimum output size in bytes required for compression to be used if
95 enabled, defaults to 860.
96
97 paths
98 my $paths = $renderer->paths;
99 $renderer = $renderer->paths(['/home/sri/templates']);
100
101 Directories to look for templates in, first one has the highest
102 precedence.
103
104 # Add another "templates" directory
105 push @{$renderer->paths}, '/home/sri/templates';
106
107 # Add another "templates" directory with higher precedence
108 unshift @{$renderer->paths}, '/home/sri/themes/blue/templates';
109
111 Mojolicious::Renderer inherits all methods from Mojo::Base and
112 implements the following new ones.
113
114 accepts
115 my $all = $renderer->accepts(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
116 my $best = $renderer->accepts(Mojolicious::Controller->new, 'html', 'json');
117
118 Select best possible representation for Mojolicious::Controller object
119 from "format" "GET"/"POST" parameter, "format" stash value, or "Accept"
120 request header, defaults to returning the first extension if no
121 preference could be detected.
122
123 add_handler
124 $renderer = $renderer->add_handler(epl => sub {...});
125
126 Register a handler.
127
128 $renderer->add_handler(foo => sub ($renderer, $c, $output, $options) {
129 ...
130 $$output = 'Hello World!';
131 });
132
133 add_helper
134 $renderer = $renderer->add_helper(url_for => sub {...});
135
136 Register a helper.
137
138 $renderer->add_helper(foo => sub ($c, @args) {
139 ...
140 });
141
142 get_data_template
143 my $template = $renderer->get_data_template({
144 template => 'foo/bar',
145 format => 'html',
146 handler => 'epl'
147 });
148
149 Return a "DATA" section template from "classes" for an options hash
150 reference with "template", "format", "variant" and "handler" values, or
151 "undef" if no template could be found, usually used by handlers.
152
153 get_helper
154 my $helper = $renderer->get_helper('url_for');
155
156 Get a helper by full name, generate a helper dynamically for a prefix,
157 or return "undef" if no helper or prefix could be found. Generated
158 helpers return a proxy object containing the current controller object
159 and on which nested helpers can be called.
160
161 render
162 my ($output, $format) = $renderer->render(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
163
164 Render output through one of the renderers. See "render" in
165 Mojolicious::Controller for a more user-friendly interface.
166
167 respond
168 my $bool = $renderer->respond(Mojolicious::Controller->new, $output, $format);
169 my $bool = $renderer->respond(
170 Mojolicious::Controller->new, $output, $format, $status);
171
172 Finalize dynamically generated response content and "compress" it if
173 possible.
174
175 template_for
176 my $name = $renderer->template_for(Mojolicious::Controller->new);
177
178 Return default template name for Mojolicious::Controller object, or
179 "undef" if no name could be generated.
180
181 template_handler
182 my $handler = $renderer->template_handler({
183 template => 'foo/bar',
184 format => 'html'
185 });
186
187 Return handler for an options hash reference with "template", "format"
188 and "variant" values, or "undef" if no handler could be found.
189
190 template_name
191 my $template = $renderer->template_name({
192 template => 'foo/bar',
193 format => 'html',
194 handler => 'epl'
195 });
196
197 Return a template name for an options hash reference with "template",
198 "format", "variant" and "handler" values, or "undef" if no template
199 could be found, usually used by handlers.
200
201 template_path
202 my $path = $renderer->template_path({
203 template => 'foo/bar',
204 format => 'html',
205 handler => 'epl'
206 });
207
208 Return the full template path for an options hash reference with
209 "template", "format", "variant" and "handler" values, or "undef" if the
210 file does not exist in "paths", usually used by handlers.
211
212 warmup
213 $renderer->warmup;
214
215 Prepare templates from "classes" for future use.
