Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi there Monks!

I am trying to learn if I can use HTML::Template with Mojolicious::Lite using this plugin called "HTMLTemplateProRenderer". I just cant find any exemple on how to read an external template file and pass some values to the template file using HTML::Template style. This code will display the template but no values get inserted into the template.
Here is the code I am trying with:
#!/usr/bin/env perl

use Mojolicious::Lite;
plugin 'HTMLTemplateProRenderer';

# Render template in "templates/index.tmpl"
get '/test' => sub {
  my $c = shift;
  
  $c->render(template => 'index');
  #$c->render('index');
  
  # fill in some parameters
  $c->param(HOME => $ENV{HOME});
  $c->param(PATH => $ENV{PATH});
  
};

app->start;

Here is the template file in templates/index.tmpl 
<html>
  <head><title>Test Template</title>
  <body>
  My Home Directory is <TMPL_VAR NAME=HOME>
  <p>
  My Path is set to <TMPL_VAR NAME=PATH>
  </body>
</html>

Thanks for looking!

      I tried loading the template file from another location, it's own directory and not within the code and I can't find a way to do it as well. Interesting!

        Hi,

        Did you use https://metacpan.org/pod/Mojolicious::Renderer#paths to tell mojo about this directory?

        update: foo.pl 

        #!/usr/bin/env perl
use Mojolicious::Lite;
plugin 'HTMLTemplateProRenderer';
get '/' => sub {
    my $c = shift;
    return $c->render(
        'hi',
        t1 => 'the first t1',
    );
};
my $paths = app->renderer->paths;
unshift @$paths, 'exists';
app->start;
__DATA__
@@ hi.html.tmpl
<p> from __DATA__ its @@ hi.html.tmpl

      I have seeing this before, but none of it shows how to use an external template file with it.
