Hi Guys, Having some trouble getting my templates to work in Dancer. In my web app package I have this:
get '/home' => sub { my $db = connect_db(); my $sth = $db->prepare('SELECT ID, FirstName, LastName FROM People +Tbl ORDER BY ID DESC') or die "Couldn't prepare statement: " . $db->errstr; $sth->execute or die $sth->errstr; template 'home.tt', { list => [ 'Tom', 'Dick', 'Larry'], }; };
Here's the Template:
<HTML> <TITLE>Home</TITLE> <H1>You're home!</H1> <H2>Here's a list of things:</H2> <BODY> <% FOREACH item IN list %> <LI><% item %></LI> <% END %> </BODY> </HTML>
And here's the config file in case I've gotten something wrong there.
#template engine # simple: default and very basic template engine # template_toolkit: TT template: "simple" template: "template_toolkit" # engines: # template_toolkit: # start_tag: '[%' # end_tag: '%]'
I know from previous attempts that I can carry over a scalar variable without a hitch but anytime I try to use a FOREACH loop I get nothing. Thanks!
