DESCRIPTION

This is the HTML::Template::Compiled view class. Your subclass should inherit from this class.

METHODS

new

Internally used by Catalyst. Used to configure some internal stuff.

process

Renders the template specified in $c-stash->{template} >, $c-request->match >, $c-config->{template}->{filename} > or __PACKAGE__-config->{filename} >.

Template params are set up from the contents of $c-stash >, augmented with base set to $c-req->base >, name to $c-config->{name} > and c to $c . Output is stored in $c-response->body >.

prepare_process

Pretty much the first thing called by process . Only used for sub-classing. Return a i<true>-value if everything is okay, otherwise process will fail.

finalize_process

Will be called right before process finishes. Only used for sub-classing. Whatever it returns, process will return.

prepare_htc

Creates the HTML::Template::Compiled object. On success, returns the filename to be rendered; undef otherwise.

htc

Accessor to the HTML::Template::Compiled object. May returns undef then the object has not yet been created or creating has failed.

prepare_render

First thing before render is called. Assigns the parameters like the ones from the stash.

render

This is where the rendering magic happens. Returns the rendered output on success, or undef otherwise.

template

Tries to find the right template to render. Returns its filename or undef. Actually only used internally.

path

Returns a array ref with paths used to find the templates in.

config

use_default_path: if set, will include $c->config->{root} and $c->config->{root} . '/base' to look for the template. Defaults to 1.

This also allows your view subclass to pass additional settings to the HTML::Template::Compiled config hash.

config_names

A list of names that are used to locate configuration parameters for the view inside $c-config >.

catalyst

Normally all methods are called with the $c as the first parameter. Just to insure that you have it as a method it case you need it. :) Will be initializes by new .
