NAME
   Dancer::Template::TemplateFlute - Template::Flute wrapper for Dancer

VERSION
   Version 0.0140

DESCRIPTION
   This class is an interface between Dancer's template engine abstraction
   layer and the Template::Flute module.

   In order to use this engine, use the template setting:

       template: template_flute

   The default template extension is ".html".

 LAYOUT
   Each layout needs a specification file and a template file. To embed the
   content of your current view into the layout, put the following into
   your specification file, e.g. views/layouts/main.xml:

       <specification>
       <value name="content" id="content" op="hook"/>
       </specification>

   This replaces the contents of the following block in your HTML template,
   e.g. views/layouts/main.html:

       <div id="content">
       Your content
       </div>

 ITERATORS
   Iterators can be specified explicitly in the configuration file as
   below.

     engines:
       template_flute:
         iterators:
           fruits:
             class: JSON
             file: fruits.json

 FILTER OPTIONS
   Filter options and classes can be specified in the configuration file as
   below.

     engines:
       template_flute:
         filters:
           currency:
             options:
               int_curr_symbol: "$"
           image:
             class: "Flowers::Filters::Image"

 ADJUSTING URIS
   We automatically adjust links in the templates if the value of
   `request-'path> is different from `request-'path_info>.

 EMBEDDING IMAGES IN EMAILS
   If you pass a value named `email_cids', which should be an empty hash
   reference, all the images `src' attributes will be rewritten using the
   CIDs, and the reference will be populated with an hashref, as documented
   in Template::Flute

   Further options for the CIDs should be passed in an optional value named
   `cids'. See Template::Flute for them.

 DISABLE OBJECT AUTODETECTION
   Sometimes you want to pass values to a template which are objects, but
   don't have an accessor, so they should be treated like hashrefs instead.

   By default, the class `Dancer::Session::Abstract' is treated this way.
   You can specify additional classes with the following syntax:

     engines:
       template_flute:
         autodetect:
           disable:
             - My::Class1
             - My::Class2

   The class matching is checked by Template::Flute with `isa', so any
   parent class would do.

 LOCALIZATION
   Templates can be localized using the Template::Flute::I18N module. You
   can define a class that provides a method which takes as first (and only
   argument) the string to translate, and returns the translated one. You
   have to provide the class and the method. If the class is not provided,
   no localization is done. If no method is specified, 'localize' will be
   used. The app will crash if the class doesn't provide such method.

   Be sure to return the argument verbatim if the module is not able to
   translate the string.

   Example configuration, assuming the class `MyApp::Lexicon' provides a
   `try_to_translate' method.

     engines:
       template_flute:
         i18n:
           class: MyApp::Lexicon
           method: try_to_translate

   A class could be something like this:

     package MyTestApp::Lexicon;
     use Dancer ':syntax';

     sub new {
         my $class = shift;
         debug "Loading up $class";
         my $self = {
                     dictionary => {
                                    en => {
                                           'TRY' => 'Try',
                                          },
                                    it => {
                                           'TRY' => 'Prova',
                                          },
                                   }
                    };
         bless $self, $class;
     }

     sub dictionary {
         return shift->{dictionary};
     }

     sub try_to_translate {
         my ($self, $string) = @_;
         my $lang = session('lang') || var('lang');
         return $string unless $lang;
         return $string unless $self->dictionary->{$lang};
         my $tr = $self->dictionary->{$lang}->{$string};
         defined $tr ? return $tr : return $string;
     }

     1;

   Optionally, you can pass the options to instantiate the class in the
   configuration. Like this:

     engines:
       template_flute:
         i18n:
           class: MyApp::Lexicon
           method: localize
           options:
             append: 'X'
             prepend: 'Y'
             lexicon: 'path/to/po/files'

   This will call

    MyApp::Lexicon->new(append => 'X', prepend => 'Y', lexicon => 'path/to/po/files');

   when the engine is initialized, and will call the `localize' method on
   it to get the translations.

 DEBUG TOOLS
   If you set `check_dangling' in the engine stanza, the specification will
   run a check (using the Template::Flute::Specification's `dangling'
   method) against the template to see if you have elements of the
   specifications which are not bound to any HTML elements.

   In this case a debug message is issued (so keep in mind that with higher
   logging level you are not going to see it).

   Example configuration:

     engines:
       template_flute:
         check_dangling: 1

 FORMS
   Dancer::Template::TemplateFlute includes a form plugin
   Dancer::Plugin::Form, which supports Template::Flute forms.

   The token `form' is reserved for forms. It can be a single
   Dancer::Plugin::Form object or an arrayref of Dancer::Plugin::Form
   objects.

   Typical usage for a single form.
