Template::Protone

Creating synergy throughout the world by bringing harmonious designs and interfaces into a collaborative space that resides between what users want and also giving people what they need.

Also, a templating system that allows you to embed perl6. EVALs your templates into a callable sub and caches them for later use, if you want.

Stuff still to do or nice to haves

• Don't match a closer embedded in quotes

• Make the opener escapable

• Run template sub in a space where custom functions are available to the template

• Save template sub to a file so it doesn't need to be rebuilt every time app is restarted

Usage

use Template::Protone;

my Template::Protone $templ .= new;

$templ.parse(template => [q|
Hello <% print "WORLD!"; %>

Oh, did you want variables too?  I can do <% print $data<what>; %> too.

<% for ^3 { %>
<% print $_ ~ ($_ == 2 ?? '' !! ', '); %>
<% } %>
|], :name<example>);

say $templ.render(:name<example>, :data(what => 'that'));

Output

Hello WORLD!

Oh, did you want variables too?  I can do that too.

0, 1, 2

What's that? You don't like <% and %> ?

qw<...>;

use Template::Protone;

my Template::Protone $templ .= new(:open('%%'), :close("%%"));

say $templ.render(template => [q|
Hello %% print "WORLD!"; %%

List: %% for ^3 {  
   print $_ ~ ($_ == 2 ?? '' !! ', '); 
 } %%
|]);

qw<...>;

Output

Hello WORLD!

List: 0, 1, 2

Performance

Yea, yea, but how fast does your car go
