Re: Template Toolkit custom plugins?

This is practically a copy/paste from the docs, so if the docs don't help you then this probably won't either, but here you go:

* In lib/MyApp/TT/Plugin/BBCodeFilter.pm:

package MyApp::TT::Plugin::BBCodeFilter;

use base qw(Template::Plugin::Filter);

use Parse::BBCode;

my $bbc;
sub init {
  my $self = shift;

  my $name = $self->{_CONFIG}->{name} || 'bbcode';
  $self->install_filter($name);

  $bbc = Parse::BBCode->new;

  return $self;
}

sub filter {
  my ($self, $text) = @_;

  $text = $bbc->render($text);

  return $text;
}

1;

* In the main application code:

my %tpl_settings = (
                    ...
                    PLUGIN_BASE => 'MyApp::TT::Plugin',
                    ...
                   );
my $tt = Template->new(%tpl_settings);

* In a random template file:

[% USE BBCodeFilter -%]
<p>[% (comments || '(No Comments)') | bbcode %]</p>
[download]

Simple as that. So what's actually causing you problems?

I just wanted some different examples of types of plugin usage, the documentation is a little sparse on cookbook examples. My example: package MyHungryHippo; use strict; use warnings; use 5.16.0; use base qw[Template::Plugin]; sub new { my ($class, $context) = @_; return bless { _context => $context }, $class; } sub nomnom { my $self = shift; return 'eat it'; } 1; package main; use strict; use warnings; use 5.16.0; use Test::More; use_ok 'MyHungryHippo'; use_ok 'Template'; ok my $tt = Template->new({ PLUGINS => { 'HIPPO' => 'MyHungryHippo' } +}); die $tt->error if $tt->error; ok my $tmpl = join('', <DATA>); ok my $output = $tt->context->process( \$tmpl, {} ); like $output, qr/eat/ or diag $output; done_testing(); __DATA__ [% USE HIPPO %] [%- HIPPO.nomnom() -%] [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Hi, Here's an older example of TT usage from merlyn. -update- Here's another one from the Twiki site, where i see Plugins have a separate Home page . Ask not what good Perl n country have done for you, Ask what good you will do for Perl n country	[reply]
